At some point in everyone’s life, they want to live in that great urban environment that is “downtown“. To be a part of the urban landscape and enjoy all that it offers.

However you don’t want to give up the comforts of “home” just to realize that dream. Whether you chose to buy a downtown condo to save time on your commute to the office or just to enable you to get fit by walking more, the reason is yours and of course these days you can get a condo unit which combines luxurious downtown living as well as affordability.

One such project which offers these is Ashley Terrace, a 94 unit 9 story building in downtown which offers compelling views as well as being situated near restaurants, shops and other services. The units are one block from the YMCA and only a mile to the University of Michigan central campus – a short walk to the stadium so you can catch that all important football game!

The units at Ashley Terrace are well appointed with hardwood floors, maple cabinetry, ceramic tiles as well as granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. The units are available in 1, 2 or even 3 bedroom varieties with between 1 and 2.5 bathrooms. Building Association fees include gas, water, sewer, garbage pick up, indoor parking as well as secure storage. The building has been complete for some time and residents have already moved in so if you are looking for a great condo downtown then you need to act fast!
