Pros
1) Next to the greenbelt
2) sizable in a part of UTC where 600/900 SF rule the landscape
Cons
1) freeway noise
2) Surrounded by lower rent places (i.e. student properties)
3) Greenbelt is marginally too small (unless you like doing laps)
4) older style bathrooms
5) small bedrooms
6) split levels make it feel smaller and less attractive to young families
7) attached housing[/quote]
Agreed it is a weird complex…The cons you list aren’t that bad. It is what it is – an older townhome. Much more greenbelt than any other UTC complexes. Freeway noise is really not bad at all. You can’t hear it in the house even with open windows. I think the prices are holding high because of less than a handful of properties with larger SF in UTC that are ‘more’ affordable – relatively speaking.
What disturbs me more is that the ‘detached’ houses down the road in Barcelona are selling in mid 500s. True they are about 100 sf smaller, but theoretically detached. I would have expected that Madrid largest townhomes would also be priced in mid 500s, like the Barcelona ones.
