LOL I guess I did get in at a great time because for my studio I will be paying around $650 per month minus the cable bill. Plus I have a city view! Well you can look at King Street for a while but dont forget they will be building four more buildings so you will have a chance to get a city view unit. One of the buildings will be 6-stories so you can get a REALLY good view over looking the city. I did fall in love with the frosted double glass bedroom doors and I love the bathroom sink and the stone tile frame around the mirror. The track lighting in the kitchen is so cosmopolitan.

I viewed the all three just afer the big grand opening yesterday. They were all decorated so nice. I think I'm leaning more towards the one bedroom. Just because of the size. I do love those glass doors.

I origionally wanted to get the one bedroom but my budget at this time wont allow that. But the studio is enough space for me and the 9 foot ceilings make it seem much bigger. Maybe next year I'll upgrade. They all are great and all three plans have design features not found in the others. For example the stove fan in the studio units are different from those in the one and two bedroom units. But the studio units are technically not studio apartments because in a true studio, the bedroom is combined with the living room. Thats not the case at CityView. Basically the studio units are smaller one bedroom apartments. But they are about the size of an average studio (600 square feet)

How was the grand opening, I heard the mayor and city council were at the ribbon cutting ceremony? I havent seen anything on the news about it.

Hi

I've found a job in GSO and am moving. Looked at CityView as well. Was wondering if there were similar properties in the same area that were for sale. Looking for something very small, 1BR. If so, what are the price ranges? Would prefer something brand new or not old

There are 1 bedroom places at Arbor Homes, right next to the new super YMCA downtown and I believe they start in the 150k range. There are two bedroom units there as well. Also the Bellemeade units are done but they are in the 350k and up range. There are some others- let me know kind of what you are looking for and I will be glad to send you whatever info you need.

well Ive finally moved into CityView Apartments! I love it and I found out that WFMY's weather man Eric Chilton lives here as well. Currently only one of the buildings are totally complete and a second building there are a few residents but no one is in the last two buildings and the residents in those buildings likely wont move in til after the new year. I will say this, when I looked at the studio plan at CityView, it did seem very small but once I moved in, it was bigger than I expected. 606 square feet is plenty of space for one person. I was able to fit a six person kitchen table in here along with a sofa, love seat, arm chair, and 3 tables without it looking too big for the apartment. The studio has a very long hallway with the bedroom door in the hall being glass. The skyline vie is breathtaking. On moving day, CityView management fed us free breakfast, lunch, dinner and plenty of beer. The staff bought over $400 worth of sushi. They went all out for the new residents and they hired "Two men and a Truck" to help residents move their belongings into their apartments. The next day they invited new residents for more free food and beer and to watch football in the clubhouse.

Photos of the neighborhood which is located in the southeast qaudrant of downtown. You can get an idea of the kind of neighborhood you'd be moving into.

here is The Press Wine Cafe' (a block from CityView Apartments)




here are other residences in Southside, many of which include live-work units


Hopefully these photos helped you out!

Gsoboi,, great pics!! That area of town has really developed since I left GSO a few years ago. I'll have to check it out on my Spring visit.

Thanks.
