midtown night As I sit here, 27 stories above the hustle and bustle of Midtown with that picture out my window (yep, just took it 10 minutes ago!) I remember back to my thoughts of how I could ever leave my suburban home, for "city life." Now let me explain something first....I grew up on a 200 acre ranch in Montana!!! You can't get much more room around you than that! But, my home in the "burbs" here, is only 7 miles or 10 minutes from Midtown, depending on which way you want to measure it. A California-style ranch, built in 1960 that I have been renovating for a few years. 1800 sq.ft with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, hot tub, big yard with lots of trees, fishpond and my gas grill! It's pretty cool!

Now, after a day of walking to the High Museum to take in the last day of the Louve Exhibit, then to Joe's on Juniper for a delicious burger and fries, and finally back to my condo to continue some upgrades, I wonder, HOW could I have ever NOT Lived here!  It's been a REAL "labor day weekend" with the installation of new window treatments and now ceiling fans (good grief, now I know why people pay for this!)

This place is actually one of two I have in Midtown. (Guess you can guess I like it now?) This one is smaller, perfect for a weekend getaway or a single person. I let my friends use it when they visit me from LA, Chicago Miami and New York. My actual "home" in Midtown is a larger, 2 bedroom unit at Plaza Midtown.

One day this may be just my office....and what a view to inspire you to sell, sell, sell Midtown............

midtown dayJust thinking about standing on the balcony, talking with a client about their pending purchase of a new condo in Midtown....it gives me goose bumps!!

And the landscape...she be a changing here! This use to be my view from the left side of my balcony...

beforehas become THIS over the past few months....

afterHere comes Viewpoint Midtown!

What's my point? City Living is AWESOME!! Sure, I hear some sirens, but my small town upbringing just makes me jump up and look at what's happening! I want a drink, a great bar is just an elevator ride away! Want a late night snack....gosh....where should I start? And when it's time to lock the door, and head to the airport, the train is just a couple blocks away! What more can you ask for?

Yep....I have to admit it! I'm Hooked! It's in my blood now! I'm living the City Lights and the City Sights!

Wanna join me? I'd be happy to help you!!

Thom - With a promo like that you should sell out the whole building before the Labor Day weekend is over!

Love your night skyline view!  My husband and I have been trying to figure out what it is that our oldest son likes about city living, after growing up in the suburbs.  You have articulated it much better than he and his wife have ever done.  I'm glad you commented on one of my blogs, so I had occasion to search you out and find this.

From a country boy to a city boy!  Wow what a difference the surroundings are.  Both offer a different kind of beauty.  The city lights at night?  Wow!  You have some great pictures here.  Keep up the great blogs on Midtown.
