Contemporary 1,234 Square-Foot Condo in Forest Hills

The photo above (and the kitchen thumbnail for this post) speak for themselves as to why we chose this property. The 1,234 square-foot, top-floor corner unit in Forest Hills has a living room with high ceilings and eight southwest-facing windows that offer views above the trees and drench the room with sun. Both bedrooms are oversized and the kitchen was recently remodeled with Corian countertops and an antique tin ceiling. We spoke to the seller about the condo fees, which seem high at $700 per month. They cover everything except electricity (front desk with concierge service, landscaping, garbage, gas, water, roof, security, exterior walls/building) as well as a special assessment to cover renovation of the lobby and common areas. On-site rental parking is available. For the full listing, click here.

Columbia Heights Condo with Space (Both Indoor and Outdoor)

Not much is missing from this two-bedroom unit tucked away on Holmead Place in Columbia Heights. In addition to an off-street parking space and a small rear patio, the condo has a large living area with wood floors, a good-sized kitchen and a spacious master bedroom (the second bedroom is a bit smaller). To top it off, the unit has remarkably low condo fees ($136) which could mean that maintenance for the building is the resident’s responsibility. For the full listing, click here.
