Of course I like the cheaper B unit better... One nickpick (other than the price) what's with the teeny tiny (and useless) cabinet above the fridge with the big huge space as well. I know those cabinets came from the Big Box store of your chose but couldn't they have gotten a slightly large size that was useful and less stupid looking?

Half underground, totally generic renovation and not all that attractive to boot, the price doesn't even include parking, and hardly the best location in C.H. Include parking and drop 50k, then maybe they are in the ballpark. Crazy price.

Unfortunately, I was still hopping around to different places every few months while I was doing a graduate degree - I wish I was in the position to buy back then but I wasn't in one place long enough and did not know where I would land a job. So, good for those of you that got a condo for $200,000 back then - but please don't beat up on those of us who are coming into this a little later and want to live in safe(r), accessible, interesting and enjoyable neighbourhoods and spaces - it is hard enough as it is.

I paid $300 for an entire house the same distance from the metro towards Georgia (albeit a 2 bed 1.5 bath, so smaller) and cannot fathom paying that much money and still having to deal with an upstairs neighbor. But the renovation looks nice, so, hey, go for it if you got it. And I guess I should just say, to each his own.

Not a massive difference, but you might wonder what else they're outright lying about. I love that it says “2 blocks to metro” when a quick look at that map puts it 5 blocks.
