Vic Desai, principal partner at ViaNova Development, jokes now about some of the things that used to go on at Arbor Hill, the 48-unit apartment complex overlooking Highway 58.
ViaNova bought the complex in 2013 – when it was named Spanish Villas – for $1 million and has since given it the Cinderella treatment, sinking $500,000 into renovations and updates.
The complex offers one- and two-bedroom units. One-bedroom units are 650 square feet and rent for $550 to $595 a month. Two-bedroom units are 750 square feet and rent for $650 to $695 a month.
The complex is pet-friendly and actually more affordable than some up-and-coming affordable options downtown, Desai said.
But it’s required a lot of work.
