Affordable Clifton Condo for Sale | 221 N Clifton Ave

**THIS HOME WAS SOLD by THE THOMAS GROUP AT KELLER WILLIAMS REALTY LOUISVILLE EAST**

Incredibly cool neighborhoods like The Highlands or Clifton and Crescent Hill are becoming less and less affordable for a lot of people. The Louisville real estate market is at an all time high, yet rates are still incredibly low. And while more people can afford more house because of the low interest rates, certain places still remain off limits to the first time buyer. For example:

The average sale price of homes and condos in the Highlands so far this year is right at $262,000.
The average sale price of homes and condos in Clifton / Crescent Hill so far this year is $208,400.

So, in more vivid terms, if you put 5% down on an average Highlands home, your monthly mortgage payment would be around $1,525 including taxes and insurance (estimated). Buying an average Clifton/Crescent Hill home with 5% down would run you about $1,325 per month including taxes and insurance (estimated). The average home buyer in Jefferson County can afford quite a bit less than that at around $1,100 per month. This makes it difficult for home buyers to purchase a home or condo in either of these neighborhoods.

SO WHAT?

The point of all this is to let you know that occasionally a home hits the market that will allow someone to move into to a hot area that they wouldn’t normally be able to afford. Today I bring to you 221 N Clifton Ave #35. This place is a nicely sized two bedroom, one bathroom condo with gorgeous engineered hardwood floors, a large family room that is open to your dining area, good closet space, and a laundry area inside the unit, all for $72,000. I have certainly seen condos in all areas of Louisville that feel cramped and have no amenities at similar prices. This is not one of those. The Castle Condominium complex on Clifton Ave is conveniently located between Frankfort Ave and Brownsboro Rd. There is more than enough parking to accommodate the number of units in the building plus guests. Also, each unit has a front door that opens into a beautiful courtyard with brick walkways and colorful foliage. As of the date of this post there are ZERO two bedroom Clifton condos that are priced lower than 221 N Clifton Ave #35. It’s time to take advantage of this homeownership opportunity!
