Keywords: Unique, Affordable, Urban
Perhaps you didn’t google, “unique, affordable, urban homes for sale,” but here’s a sampling of just that. There’s an abundance of creativity in Portland, and in today’s market home builders can also be counted in that lot. On the market right now, you can find a 364sf condo that comes with an electric bike, a co-housing style condo that is a part of a community land trust to ensure affordability, and a high-performing, LEED-Platinum urban condo on the MAX line with eco-roofs and custom solar shading designs to mitigate against overheating while allowing loads of natural light in. All this is possible and available.
Here are three current projects to check out, if any of these descriptions pique your interest:
Division 43 (from low $100s)
Woolsey Corner (from $101,600)
Killingsworth Station: aka, K-Station (from $169,900)
Division 43 is a unique model of “micro-housing” that we haven’t seen in Portland before. Woolsey Corner also pushes the envelope with its playful details (repurposed instruments in the railings, sculptural downspouts, and live-edge trim accents) and its ownership structure as a Proud Ground Community Land Trust property, which will keep it affordable indefinitely. K-Station is set to be certified as LEED-Platinum building, placing it at the forefront of current sustainable building practices, and they offer a special down payment assistance loan for eligible buyers. This delivers a level of design and performance that hasn’t been available at these prices before in Portland. For more information about any of these properties or the financing available for them, contact me.
The market is being transformed, and as with any system with monetary or design constraints, people get creative to adapt and generate new solutions. I hope you’ve found these options interesting in the least. If you’d like to know more about these properties or any other listings on the market, we’d be happy to set up a customized search to help you find the right fit for your needs. Be in touch. Be well.
