Hillmount Condos, located at 505 Cherry St SE, at the corner of College and Cherry, are an affordable downtown Grand Rapids condo option. Sales have been pretty good last year with eight condos sold including the last of the developer owned models. There are currently 8 units available for sale.

Hillmount condos are a newer condo conversion project that were originally apartments. The building itself was built in 1959 and developed by CWD Real Estate. These are an art/deco style condos and the building itself is solidly built so there is very little noise transfer between the walls and floors.

Located in the Heritage Hill Historic District, Hillmount is surrounded by mature trees and is only about 15 minutes walking time to downtown. It is a friendly community and a large part of the owners are young professionals and students.

Hillmount Condos offer several attractive amenities including a large, well appointed fitness center, one of the nicest roof top decks of any condo in town, a large laundry room and WiFi throughout the building. It is pet friendly and the bus stops right outside the door. Parking is in the back and there are car ports that you can lease.

Hillmount features several floor plans where many of the original owners elected to knock down some walls to make their living spaces more open and appealing. There are studios, 1 and 2 bedrooms to choose from. Many of the condos offer updated kitchens, hardwood floors and plenty of windows. Units on the south side of the building have balconies.

Having said that, there are some condos that are FHA approved. This is important to many buyers, especially first time condo buyers looking to capitalize on the $8000 Tax credit. With an FHA loan, you need only pay a 3.5% downpayment on the loan. Much better than 10% or 20%!

Boardwalk condos are FHA approved! Just before last Christmas they were approved. Boardwalk is a great building with many amenities including a pool hot tub area, game room, theatre room, fitness center, roof top deck, salon and JD Reardon’s bar. These condos are loft style with exposed brick, exposed duct work, river views and tall ceilings. Many floor plans are available from studio, 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms and there are two courtyards, one with the pool and the other with a peaceful, wooded area where the outdoor grills are located.

The Hillmount condos are FHA approved! The Hillmount condos offer a little different feel to the Boardwalk. The building itself is an older, solid brick buillding and it does offer a few amenities such as wireless (wifi) internet, fitness center and an awesome rooftop deck with grill. Many of these condos offer lovely hardwood floors and updated kitchens with stainless steel appliances. This is a great building located at the corner of College and cherry, minutes from the downtown core. Pets are allowed.

Union Square condos are FHA approved! Union Square is one of the coolest buildings in town. You have probably seen it while driving on the expressway at the junction of I-96 and US-131 highways. The building is the Union Square High School and there is a big mix of condos here from affordable 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms which also includes some incredible penthouse units. Amenites include a very nice fitness center and the  roof top deck, pool and hot tub. These condos are loft style similar to Boardwalk but with more floor plans and larger windows. Some of the old school features like chalk boards and lockers have been blended in with the modern condo features.

Fulton Street Flats are FHA approved! This is a new addition to the downtown condo scene and has just been approved. These are affordable 1 and 2 bedroom condos with some nice standard features accross the street from Davenport University and minutes to the downtown core. Some features include large balconies, hardwood floors and granite counters. I like the location here and for the money, you get a good sized condo with reasonable association fees, parking and laundry rooms in each unit.

Park Row Condos are FHA approved. This is a recent addition to this list as of 1/7/11. Park Row condos offer 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms and are new construction. They also offer a very reasonable association fee and underground parking. One of the features I like is their location close to the Medical Mile. Solidly built and quiet. o noise from your neighbors.
