Inside 43215: Building Blocks
END OF THE LINE FOR GAS
While folks in New York City never seem to feel self-conscious about lacking a car, they always looked a little crazy from the Midwestern perspective. But now it’s happening: the price of gas hovers around four dollars per gallon and the NYC style of life is really starting to make sense. Kevin Woods, of the Downtown Resident’s Association says it best, “Gas prices and environmental concerns are two things that tend to make downtown living even more enticing.”
On Saturday, June 14, eighteen enticing properties will be on display at the annual City Hop, put on by Columbus Landmarks. Urban living is definitely chic in Columbus, but there are still a few critical differences between life here and life in NYC:
1. They have Broadway, we’ve got Broad Street.
Locals can, however, create their own dramas at 8 on the Square or The Seneca. Both are lovely Broad Street living spaces featured on the tour.
2. Money Honey
The classic Tribecca loft in NYC is over $1000 per square foot (they run about $1.5 million). Tri-Becca? Try-Jeffrey: The Jeffrey will also be on tour, with more space for less money.
3. Park It
Central Park is nice, but does it have kitchens like the Condominiums at North Bank Park? Come see for yourself at the Hop! Real estate pro Donna Carstens adds, “Over and over, I hear people say they didn’t know there was so much to see, and so many new businesses they didn’t know about in the downtown area.”
