Elmwood Oaks Condos in Harahan
The Elmwood Oaks condos were built as condos almost 30 years ago. They are a short walk to all the retail and eating places on Clearview Parkway and retailers in Elmwood Shopping Center. The condos are an easy commute via Jefferson Highway or River Road. Jump on a Earhart Express for an easy commute downtown.
The 101 units are mainly 2 bedroom units spread over 5 building and 3 floors. Each floor is gated with a security code. There are a few one bedrooms and a few three bedrooms. The first floor units have a private courtyard and the other units have a balcony. Both have storage outside. Parking is very easy for 2 cars and guests.
The amenities include a large courtyard and swimming pool . Tennis courts and plenty of common area that is always well maintained. You have elevators to each floor and easy stairs at each end of the building.
The condos are well maintained and managed. The association is well-financed. The condo fees are very low ranging from $216-$233 for the two bedroom units. The condo fees cover the exterior maintained, water,trash, common electricity, yard and pool upkeep. Just a lot of your money.
If these condos were in Orleans Parish 5-6 miles away they would be 275k to 300k for a condo with this many amenities. The condo fess would be about twice as much. There are 3 condos currently for sale with prices ranging from $114,900 to $135,336. Any of these buys would be cheaper than paying rent at these low-interest rates. Prices have been steady or down for a couple of years.
Elmwood Oaks is always in my top three for condo associations in Metairie, Harahan, River Ridge areas of East Jefferson.
This is a good example of a unit that has been updated with wood floors, freshly painted, new kitchen appliances, new bath vanity, nice fireplace and newer light fixtures. It’s a two bedroom and 1.5 baths on the 3rd floor corner.
The third floor has vaulted ceiling and a private balcony plus a storage closet. it’s over 1000 sq. ft. of living. Laundry room is full size in the hall. Master bedroom is good size.
Use the elevator or stairs to the hallway on the third floor. Enter the code to the floor. There are 8 units on the floor. This is a corner unit. Both bedroom have windows to the outside overlooking the parking lot. There is a lot to be said of a corner unit on the top floor. This is the most updated unit in the complex. There is also attic space with pull down stairs for extra storage.
