$857K is still too high. TrumpParc in Stamford is down to $800k for a 1,500 sq ft 2 BR with free parking and common charges for 4yrs and really cheap financing. It’s a hell of a lot nicer construction too.

Would think “wealthy” seniors can afford landscapers, maid, chef and driver as needed to avoid indignities of communal, in-town living

In this age when so many wealthy seniors are looking for e-z maintenance living w/in reach of town, I’m surprised no good builder has thought about redoing both East and West Lyon. They are in a good location but sad to look at. I have no doubt those who bought at $1.3 thought it was a deal, likely downsizing after selling a big home they may have done well by selling. $8-something, that’s almost like taking candy from a baby. Was this an estate sale that it went for so little?
