The Griswold is in the Capitol Park area.
Want to be one of the cool people living downtown or Midtown? You better be either rich or willing to pay a large portion of your salary as an office drone for the thrill of it all. The newer -- or rather, newly renovated -- buildings in Gilbertville have blown past the $2/square foot threshold.
Parking is not included, either. Nor is electricity, in some.
Which means you'll be paying more than a grand to live in a space only somewhat larger than Secretariat's box stall, but hey -- he was the greatest racehorse that ever lived, and you've got a MoGo dock right outside the door, so who's got it better?
Some Midtown buildings are cheaper, but are definitely $2/square foot-curious, shall we say. (Plus electricity.)
