Unveiling the Allure of Locust Point Condominiums: A Realtor's Perspective
Locust Point Condominiums in Philadelphia has become a personal favorite of mine. It's a place that truly captures a specific lifestyle, and the building itself perfectly complements that vision.
Location, Location, Location:
Nestled in the heart of vibrant Fitler Square (19103), bordering the western edge of Center City, and adjacent to the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel campuses, Locust Point caters to a dynamic, on-the-go demographic. The thoughtful design reflects this, offering primarily one-bedroom units with a smattering of spacious two-bedrooms (the largest hovering around 1,100 square feet).
Beyond Square Footage:
But Locust Point offers more than just square footage. The amenities – on-site management, a well-equipped gym, and individual storage spaces for each unit – provide convenience and ease. For some residents, the option of a garage parking space adds another layer of comfort.
A Story Told by Light and View:
Stepping inside a unit is like stepping into a story waiting to be told. However, the narrative unfolds differently depending on where you stand. The unit's width plays a role, as does its placement within the building. South-facing units tend to command a premium due to the natural light they bathe in, while western units boast truly stunning river views. Conversely, eastern units on lower floors face a brick wall. Even within two-bedroom units, a subtle detail like a platform versus an enclosed guest bedroom can influence the price tag.
A Commitment to Constant Improvement:
One of the most impressive aspects of Locust Point condominiums is its dedication to keeping the building fresh and functional. Nearly all major capital expenses have been addressed within the last decade. From a brand new roof to a fully automated garage door, from a comprehensive masonry refresh to a complete overhaul of the common areas and even the elevators, the building has undergone a remarkable transformation.
Beyond the Surface:
My experience with Locust Point extends beyond aesthetics. Having sold a dozen condos at 2429 Locust Street, I've gained a deep understanding of the condo documents themselves. Recent updates include the removal of weight limits on pet policies (although breed restrictions might apply), the allowance for combining units with board approval, and the clarification of parking assignments within the building's declaration.
Locust Point Condominiums in Philadelphia’s Fitler Square neighborhood is a testament to thoughtful design, strategic location, and a commitment to continuous improvement. It's more than a building; it's a vibrant community waiting to be explored. Let me help you find your perfect chapter within its story.
So what are some of the factors that account for varying prices within Locust Point? I think the width of the unit plays a role, as does the location within the building of the unit- the south side generally garners a higher sale price than the north side. And there is a HUGE price difference between east and west. Lower floor east units face a brick wall, and all western units have a STUNNING view of the river. And of course, you may want to factor into some of the two-bedroom units the distinction of whether the guest bedroom is a platform style or an enclosed bedroom.
4 Things I Learned in The Condo Docs For Locust Point:
1) Locust Point owners have removed the weight limit on their pet policy. Two pets per unit, and the condo association may enforce breed restrictions.
2) Two units may be joined together, but only with permission from the Board.
3) Parking is assigned, and the 4th amendment to the declaration shows which parking space belongs to which unit.
4) They will install roof anchors (per OSHA) for window cleaning and maintenance.
Nearly all of their major capital expenses have been performed within the last 5-7 years and this includes:
