At one time, Alta Vista was the "flagship condo" that sat atop the Ballston Metro. Built in 1989, many homes in Alta Vista feature the spacious sunrooms that were prominent in residential condos at that time. As you will find with most ~20 year old buildings, homes in Alta Vista tend to very drastically from one to another depending on what upgrades the owners have installed over the years. For this reason alone, Alta Vista can be a great investment for the person with a vision for the future that is looking to earn some sweat equity. Either way, as the old saying goes, Real Estate is all about- "location, location, location" and it's hard to beat sitting atop the Ballston Metro!
