Midtown Atlanta Real Estate for $1 Plus some Zeros. Ha! Did you really think there was real estate for $1? You knew that had to be to good to be true. But what if we add some zeros...what can we get. Hmmmmm....I said to self.

So, in my market, what can you buy, for say, $100,000 in a single family home and in a condominium? I wanted to approach this as if I was working with an actual buyer and this was what they could afford. So, I would do my research and show them what I thought were the best homes. Now, my market is primarly an urban market, so the single family home is a challenge. But I offer you:

Midtown Atlanta Real Estate for $1 Plus $99,899, or $99,900.

This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is located in the Kirkwood neighborhood. Now I must first confess, that is NOT Midtown Atlanta. But this is as close as I can get in this price range. Built in 2006, it features an open floor plan, 2 stories and off street parking. It is bank owned.

Kirkwood is an up and coming area, with new construction as well as many older homes that have been renovated. I've not been to this home specifically, but I would point out the home to the left in the picture with the boarded up window.

Midtown Atlanta Real Estate For $1 Plus will get you a much smaller place, but in a much better location in Midtown Atlanta...at the Art Foundry Condominiums. This community is located in the Atlantic Station area, the largest mixed-use, brownfield redevelopment in the U.S. (or so I have been told!)

This 1 bedroom, 1 bath condo is a foreclosure, and is listed for $98,900.

You can walk to Atlantic Station, IKEA and Target as well as Publix Market. I will say that the architect of this community was not thinking of how someone would actually find their home....it's kind of a rat maze of hallways...but for the price and location...it can't be beat!

In my next post, we'll add a "0" and see what that will buy you in Midtown Atlanta Real Estate.
