What apartment styles are common in Lower Heights and Greater Heights?

Quick answer

Lower Heights combines newer mid-rises and lease-ups, Sawyer Yards developments, Washington Avenue apartments, selected vertical buildings, and some older inventory. Because the area is compact, remaining development sites can be limited. Greater Heights generally provides more recently built mid-rise choices because more land has been available, along with older apartments, garden-style communities, and residential streets. New construction is not automatically better. Compare the current operator, surrounding block, garage, access controls, construction, parking, floor plan, fees, and net-effective rent in both areas.
