Condo price in Scottsdale – Paradise Valley. (apartments, appliances)

[mrcamp]

Brother is relocating to Scottsdale for work. He has already visited the place and is looking into purchasing a condo (was a recent conversion) in the Paradise Valley area. He said this is a very nice area (looks so from checking online). But since he is will be paying somewhere around $235, 000 for this condo + 15000 for a garage(I guess this is a car garage) , and some other incentives. Based on research and from talking to a few folks this looks like the normal price for a condo in this area. But thought we should check with folks more familiar with the Scottsdale area. Also, is a $15000 garage really worth it?

Do you know what the complex name is and/or cross streets? Is it a one bedroom? That sounds like an ok price, it just depends where it is. If it's a 2 bedroom than it may be cheap. If he wants a garage then he should buy one, they come in handy.

Condo conversions are just not that great. I would never buy one. I lived in apts for many years and had so many problems. They are usually not built the same. Unfortunately, we have so many that have converted.

Thanks,

Yes, that is a nice complex. It was called something else, I can't think of it's name. But that's a great area and worth the money (imo). As apartments they were always higher end. I say tell your brother to go for it!
