“Any news on these rentals lately?” reader Meghan asked this week. “Seems things have been pretty quiet around here.”
Meghan was talking about the Trio tower at 670 W Wayman St, where Jameson briefly advertised condos for sale or rent in late ’09. Jameson appears to be out of the project completely — the four units listed in Trio’s two mid-rises are resales, not developer-owned units — and until this week, rental listings were limited to The Real Estate Group’s flood of posts on Craigslist.
This week The Real Estate Group finally branched out and posted three rentals on the MLS:
- A one-bedroom / two-bath unit with 893 square feet, priced at $1,650 a month. The home was listed for sale in the $290s in fall ’09.
- A two-bedroom / two-bath unit with 1,355 square feet, priced at $2,400 a month. The home was listed for sale in the $380s in fall ’09.
- A two-bedroom / two-bath unit with 1,335 square feet, priced at $2,725 a month. The home was listed for sale in the $390s in fall ’09.
According to the listings, A/C, heat, and parking are included in the rent price.
