The developer wants 35 new condos placed on an 8-acre site. Near by residents are opposed to placing condos on this estate, for fear that it would change the look and feel of the neighborhood. They would high end units, possible ranging $800,000 or more to purchase. According to the developer, some residents that are interested in downsizing would be interested in purchasing such condos.
I am aware that there are families in Grosse Pointe, that do want to downsize but want to remain in the city. So I can see the value in offering them such a thing. However, being a resident here (the park) I must say I absolutely love the beauty and charm that our homes have now. I don’t think condos are able to carry that on.
What do you think?
