Despite the kids across the street. This will still be the best residence downtown. You can't control every variable but I would prefer student housing across the street to a garage or cheesy retail space. I think all those people in a small area will add to availability / diversity of restaturants and entertainment. I heard through a realtor friend that people who have purchased at other locations including the ratcliff are looking to relocate to the vue. I went to the showroom the other day and the finish will be awesome. It is true that you could buy a cheaper condo elsewhere and finish it similarily for a fraction of the cost. The price is not based on the finish alone. It is location location first, consistancy of the product, amenities, engineering costs. Having said all that, I wish I could afford to buy a studio there but I can't. will have to settle for something a in 1st ward until I win the lottery.
