Now let’s get to the good and the bad about the Ivy Terrace Condos in Salt Lake City.
The Bueno (I just started learning Spanish. It’s going well so far and thanks for asking):
These are some of the lowest priced condos in the downtown SLC area and they are not creepy or gross. The location is very good in that you are very close to downtown and can easily walk just about anywhere you would need to go.
The Bad (I haven’t learned how to say ‘bad’ yet in Spanish, so, lo siento):
Ivy Terrace doesn’t have any amenities and the HOA fee is a little higher than you would expect. Also, not having laundry in the unit is a bit of a hassle. Parking is great if you have only one vehicle and don’t often have large numbers of visitors. Let me put it this way, if you have more than one vehicle and/or you have large numbers of visitors, a downtown SLC condo is probably not the best fit anyway.
