Luxury condos and multi-family units are present
Housing consists of high-rise townhomes and condominiums, as well as some apartment buildings. “[It] is much more condo-centric, where some of the priciest residential real estate is located. Some major buildings that people love are in the Second Ward sector,” says Scott Russo, a Broker with The McDevitt Agency, who specializes in selling within Uptown.
The high-rise properties here are near Uptown's job centers and marketed to executive and corporate buyers. The most expensive of the four wards, this neighborhood is tailored for pedestrian traffic -- a good thing, since traffic can be an issue. “Second Ward is fast, energetic and connected. Residents who live there are right in the mix of all the restaurants, sports and major events, so life spills into the [streets] from any of the condo buildings,” Russo says. “It's Uptown at full volume.”
Prices for condos and townhomes range from $350,000 to $1.4 million. However, some properties have sold for around $4 million. “It’s a big mix [of prices], but primarily it's focused on the higher end, more boutique luxury condo style buildings,” Russo says.
Second Ward is home to many high rise buildings of businesses and condos throughout the area.
