A historic neighborhood in need of some TLC
Over the years, homes in Trinity Park have changed hands from owners to landlords who have deferred maintenance and allowed many properties to fall into disrepair. While new residents continue to move in, many don’t have the means to buy a home, let alone renovate. “What’s needed is a balance between homeowners and investors,” says Realtor Tim Bogdanets with Howard Hanna-Erie Southwest. Bogdanets grew up in Trinity Park and has rehabbed homes with his family’s construction business. “As home values rise, so will incentives for homebuyers and owners to put money into their properties. This is happening in the neighborhood already.” With homeownership classes at the St. Martin Center, a non-profit community organization, and other financial incentives, such as low-down-payment and low-interest FHA loans, homes in Trinity Park are slowly getting the owners and TLC they need.
Lower-cost homes with investment and rehab potential
Trinity Park homes range in price from $13,000 for a total restoration to $160,000 for properties that have been completely renovated and updated. Most are colonial-inspired houses built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with four bedrooms on average and original period details, such as hardwood floors and trims. Many of these homes are wood-sided, although some have been updated with vinyl siding. Multi-family homes built as duplexes and triplexes are widespread throughout the neighborhood and often tenant-occupied. A third of all homes in Trinity Park are multi-family. “I have investors coming in from California and New York wanting to buy properties in Trinity Park because values are low compared to their markets,” says Rose Nouri, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Select, who was born and raised in Erie and is part of a husband and wife real estate team that’s been in business for 30 years. “Multi-family homes are particularly attractive to investors.”
Many updated homes in Trinity Park have front porches and well kept yards.
Trinity Park is quiet overall, as the streets are quite peaceful.
