20 Aug Five Reasons to Buy an In-Town Condo for Your College Student

Atlanta is home to many fine institutions for higher education, like Emory University, the Georgia Institute of Technology and Georgia State University.   If your child is getting ready to start college, perhaps the most important thing to begin searching for is good housing.   While you may think of renting accommodations for him, it may be better for everyone involved to look into in-town Atlanta real estate and take into account the benefits of purchasing a home.   Atlanta has many good neighborhoods like Woodland Hills and Medlock Park, and today, with the rise of mixed-use developments, condominiums are accessible and affordable.

Below are five strong reasons why you should buy an in-town condo for your college student:

1. Housing prices are extremely affordable in the area around the universities at the moment.   This also becomes a good investment with the housing prices stabilizing and looking ready to rise.

2. The condos come equipped with most facilities, like swimming pools, gymnasiums and beautiful landscapes, so your college student will benefit from the mixed-use developments that also houses retail stores, and educational and governmental facilities.

3. In-town Atlanta real estate is a very good investment for your child as it offers a great mix of newness and old English charm.   There is great exposure to fine arts and music with festivals, bars and restaurants.   The area is also home to many farmers markets, where one can pick up local produce and organic products.

4. You can enjoy lower property taxes in places like Medlock Park, as it does not come under the purview of the city of Atlanta or Decatur.

5. With interest rates being low, you can start your child off to a great investment.   In-town Atlanta real estate is beneficial as many of its developments are closely linked to local, national and international transportation networks.

With students heading off to college soon, now is definitely the time to consider making this great investment.  The Anderson Group can help you!
