Because of its convenient in-town location on the south side, and perceived quality construction by Alan Stamm in the 1950's, these homes are popular and often offer refurbishing opportunities. Plaster walls and hardwood floors are among the standard charms. Others have vigas in the ceiling and kiva fireplaces. Most of the original ones are single-story, and some have mother-in-law apartments that can be used to generate income. Home prices start in the high $200K's and average around $350K.
Go Realty has been both seller's and buyer's agent for several homes in Casa Alegre in the past year and knows the neighborhood and the good value, especially for first-time or move-up buyers. Also, because many of these are original homes, investors may find some opportunities in remodeling for upside potential.
