I like that a lot.

PJ- If it were me, I would look at Central Avenue Villas and then Lofts at Maywood Park, just as Steve suggested. They seem to be the most affordable developments in the downtown area and they also have a great location and design. You might also check with Greg Banta on the pricing of his numerous residential units in Midtown, as well as Harvey Lofts (if they aren’t already sold out) if you wouldn’t mind living a couple more blocks away from Bricktown.

The condo market downtown is a lot better than it was a couple years ago. That’s the good news. You’re getting into the game with $175,000, but admittedly, your options are a lot more limited. If you’re willing to wait a year or two, however, it gets better. Your best bets right now are to first look at the Central Avenue Villas, which saw a two-year delay getting started but are now well under construction. I’m hearing different reports on The Hill – you might want to inquire into whether prices there have dropped since they were last publicly listed. Block 42 might have a couple of units at your price range.
Again, if you’re willing to wait, the Lofts at Maywood Park on NE 2 might offer more in your price range than what’s available now. And more projects may soon be announced unless the market takes a surprising plunge (as you’ve read, the city’s housing market has not experienced the drops that have hit elsewhere in the country).
Good luck and let me know how things go.
