Whether you call its location Columbia Heights, Pleasant Plains, or Park View, the Parkview Condominium units that have recently been listed have generally been moving pretty quickly. Originally built in 1906 as a school, the building was converted to condos about a decade ago by Thoron Development.

Price per square foot for the four sales in this building so far in 2017 have varied from $435 per square foot to as high as $576 per square foot. Variable market value in the same building correlates with a number of factors including location in the building (higher floor vs. lower), layout, finishes, and frankly, presentation, including decent staging and professional photography. Smaller units will tend toward higher price per square foot.

The listing agent for this property was James Fitzpatrick with Long and Foster Real Estate, Inc. Daniel Lusk with Long and Foster Real Estate represented the Buyer in the purchase of this property.
