[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The older 1970s Garden apartment style huge condo complex near me has a lot of sales recently. And selling quick.

They are low rise with no elevators. Unit direct enter from outside. Have balconies. Outdoor pool, outdoor tennis, lawns and grass spread out and larger units

They are dated with no modern amenities. But wondering in Covid is this now the new style. [/quote]

I lived in a garden apartment for a few years when I first moved to DC. At the time it was mostly young singles starting out and some middle class young families and established immigrants.

It was OK for a first place, but these days it seems almost all garden apartments are low income housing. So I'm not sure how popular they can get.[/quote]

Why is that? I noticed my Montgomery Mall In Bethesda there are several very large garden apt complexes walking distance to Mall
And the large bus depot that goes to multiple locations.

But I still see 1,200 square foot two bedrooms with a patio and parking going for around 300k. That is not a poor area at all. I noticed they are now selling quickly but prices have not risen.

I actually own a garden apt, I rented it out and live in a house. At time my wife liked it as she felt like it was more of a “mini house” than apt as we pulled up to our front door with our car and had a little outside patio with BBQ and chairs and kids could run on lawn. It was dated with stucco and brown trim and a little cheaply built as a rental to condo conversion. But it also had attic storage above unit via closet. But complex was mainly three groups, old folks, divorced folks and the younger folks were renters. [/quote]
