For Sale/Rent: Akron Condo - 3 levels, 1640 sq ft, 2 bath, 2 car garage, deck

[backinblack]

The unit is going to be available again starting July 1. (Also selling if you're looking to buy)

This place is perfect for 1 person who wants a lot of space, or a great deal divided between 2 people who don't want to be cramped in a small apartment. I've lived here for about 5 years. Now I'm getting married and it's time for me to leave my ultimate batchelor pad behind. I've been trying to sell it for a while, but seeing if I will have better luck renting.

Right down the hill in the heart of the Valley, is the Tow Path Trail- a 20 mile long trail for walking/riding that stretches from Akron to Cleveland. I ride my bicycle to downtown Akron on the towpath in about 30 min.
Right in the Valley is a gas station, gym, small grocery stores, CVS, many varieties of restaurants, and bars/pubs, all within walking distance. Also near by (5 mile radius) is the huge Sand Run Metropark, Gorge Metro Park, Cascade Valley Park, and a hand full of smaller parks and a few golf courses.
Route 8 and I-77 are both easily accessible from this area. Woodridge School District. This Condo is in a quiet development and has been well maintained & kept clean. Looking for a responsible renter who will not trash the place.

Includes Free water, Free Heat, Appliances, Salting & snow removal, trash removal, ALL common ground & exterior building maintenance/repair, property insurance (not renter's insurance for your contents) landscaping & lawn care.

The only bill you need to pay is Electric, which is in the $40-50 range for me, more if I run the AC.

1 month security deposit required.

Will also consider rent to own option if interested.

I had it listed for $94k back at the end of '07, then $89,900 in '08 now $84,900... condos just dont seem to be selling :(
I would love nothing more to sell this place, as that will give me funds for a garage at the new house :thumb_beer_cheers:
If you're looking for a place to buy then let's talk :deal:

[backinblack]

Bump! Reduced to $950/mo for lease starting July 1.

[AllBlack02]

I'll be looking for a place around christmas time lol... Cant afford it right now.

[backinblack]

Bump! Still for rent/sale

[backinblack]

TTT
10 days till aug 1. Still looking for a renter!

only 4.5 mi from the University of Akron

[backinblack]

BUMP!
Current renter's lease is up soon and he's moving back home (changed jobs)
The condo will be available in a few weeks if anybody is looking for a place...

[CANTONRACER]

I would just include the eletric and make the rent $990 a month....if the place is efficient, then it should be a wash in the end.

God, wish i had a job

God, wish i had a job

McDonald's hires everyday

[flybye]

That is a sweet looking place! I wish we had something like that around here...GL with getting rid of it.

[backinblack]

God, wish i had a job

ever burn a building to the ground? I know of a condo this one guy is having a hard time selling, looking for a arsonist - no experience needed! :thumb_beer_cheers::idiot:

As for the electric, If someone leaves all the lights on all the time, I'd lose out on that deal. Same with the AC... That way the renter can save $$ if they are conservative with the power.

[neal]

McDonald's hires everyday

that wouldn't pay for that condo, and bills at the same time. :( :crying:

[Freakingstang]

what is the current asking price for buying outright?

how is the neighborhood?

[backinblack]

what is the current asking price for buying outright?

how is the neighborhood?

It was recently reduced to $84,900.
Neighborhood is safe & quiet. It's a small association (24 units total) and usually the only time I saw the neighbors was coming/going. I'm 31 and I was one of the younger people living there. I bought it when I was 26 and there was only one other person in their 20's when I lived there, so it's a pretty quiet area. (I never got any noise complaints about an offroad H-pipe though :) )
Most people are older and/or don't have kids living w/ them.

I'd love to sell it, the landlord thing is getting old - trying to get another renter lined up when a lease ends so I'm not paying double mortgages while it sits empty. I'd be happy to make a deal and sell it.

[quick6]

this place would be perfect....after i pass my ASE tests in spring aand land a legit mechanic job through a dealership that is not going under.....i love this condo. but its actually double what i paynow...435 plus electric at our apt.

[LS1Fury]

This is exactly what i want just if i can afford it. We talked before and lot of stuff fell through on my end for this.

[BAM614]

Just an FYI about anyone considering purchasing this place....as it seems pretty sweet and definitely cheap.

A 30yr mortgage payment with minimum down (3% in most cases - $2500) leaves you with a monthly payment of $443. That's CHEAP. Add a couple hundred/month for taxes/prop insurance and you're probably talking $600-$700/month to OWN your own house. Get a buddy as a roomate and split it...I wish I my mortgage was that cheap!

GL on sale/rent/whatever, if it was in Cbus and I was single and without kids, I'd have bought it long ago.

[Rexpelagi]

Just curious, is there a condo association monthly/yearly fee? Also, I'm in the valley quite a bit, what is the address for the condo? I was wondering where exactly it is.
