12th floor co-op in Lafayette Park asks $300K

It’s been an erratic spring so far with the Detroit real estate market, with some weeks full of listings, and others not so much. What we have seen is a slew of listings from 1300 East Lafayette. A couple weeks ago, we looked at a studio coming in at $99K. This week, we have a four bedroom on the 12th floor that’s listing for $299,900.

And yes, the HOA fees are $1,701 per month and include taxes, heat, air, basic cable, maintenance, and more.

This unit looks fairly homey, and we’re admittedly not fans of carpet. But it does span 1,664 square feet, with views of the Detroit River, Lafayette Park, and Ford Field. The location gets you close to the riverfront, Dequindre Cut, Eastern Market, and downtown. Could it use some updating? Perhaps. We’ve seen some units sell for $100-124 per square foot, so this one is pushing the market a little. It’s listing through Dwellings Unlimited.
