Woodward Place at Birmingham is nearly sold out

Metromode, 2/16/2009

Selling a home isn't the easiest task in Metro Detroit these days, but it's a challenge the people at Woodward Place of Birmingham seem to be up to.

The condominium conversion just north of downtown is nearly sold out. There are only 29 of the 79 units left. Of those, five are ready to move in right away. The rest are leased but still available for sale.

Prices on these units are also lower. A few years ago they would have gone as high as $349,000. Today they start at $149,000 for a one-bedroom, $159,000 for a two-bedroom and $179,000 for a three-bedroom.

The units range in size from 1,000 square feet to 1,500 square feet. Each condo comes with hardwood flooring, granite countertops, crown molding, a private balcony, parking spaces and an in-unit washer and dryer. The development also overlooks the Rouge River.

The development, 1115 N. Old Woodward Ave., was originally built as an apartment complex in the 1960s.
