Hanna Heights Offering Rental Deals
Prium is now officially leasing Hanna Heights at 6th & Fawcett.
I stopped in there the weekend before last. $1100 per month for 1 bedroom 1 bath units. However, their rental agent indicated that they will give 1 month free and spread the payments over the term of the 1 year lease.
Without much advertising, they are being leased out at about 2 per week. However, now I see that they are being listed in a number of places.That means, the monthly rent is reduced to (1100 x 11)/12 = $1008.33 per month.
Pretty good deal considering that Prium ripped out some of the original finishings to upgrade them for condo sales earlier. This is a far superior "apartment" than a regular sheetrocked apartment one finds in other parts of the city.
Prime location, a balcony, a view and a workout room in a new place. Get a room mate and you are living for cheap in a place that was meant for someone with considerable means.
There are relatively big too. The smallest unit is 854 sq ft.

If there is a better value offered downtown, I would like to see it. I am sure downtown Realtor Jacob Rose would tell us if there were.
