Looking Under $250,000? A Vintage 1-Bedroom at 434 W. Aldine in East Lakeview
This 1-bedroom at 434 W. Aldine in East Lakeview came on the market in May 2019.
Built in 1910, this building has 20 units but no garage or parking. It has a common deck.
This unit has been freshly painted and has some vintage features like crown moldings.
It also has a vintage feature found in many units: a small sunroom which faces south.
The kitchen has white cabinets and appliances along with a breakfast bar.
The listing says the bedroom can fit a king-sized bed.
There’s no central air, just a window-unit a/c. There’s also no washer/dryer in the unit or parking.
But with a listing price of $225,000, is this a good starter apartment in a popular neighborhood?
Jesse Trevino at Century 21 SGR has the listing. See the pictures here.
