Condos in the immediate Raleigh area are more like $900 and up. If you are willing to commute a little, try some of the surrounding communities like Cary, Apex, Durham or Hillsboro.

well that would be a six unit bridge so that is 833 per unit. that actually sounds like a fairly average price. honestly, you get what you pay for. you could have a partial made for about 1000 but it comes in and out and doesnt look nearly as good nor is it as ideal.

An acre of surface parking can accommodate anywhere from 110 to 145 vehicles, depending on layout, building codes, access points, landscaping and lighting.\n\nPDG consultants can maximize land-use through our site-specific application of parking design principles. An acre of structured parking five stories tall can accommodate anywhere from 600 to 725 vehicles depending on local building codes and the skills of the parking designer.\n\nSince today's average construction cost of one elevated, above-grade parking space is approximately $15,000, developers and architects can realize significant cost savings by seeking the guidance of skilled parking design consultants.

Assuming you're building on your primary residence, yes. The county code says that "Any additions, alterations or repairs to single-family residences performed by the property owner upon his own property, provided any addition or alteration shall not exceed 1,000 square feet or the square footage of the primary structure, whichever is less" are exempt. If you are not the owner, but are building it on a single-family residence, then the total cost must be under $5,000. Otherwise, no, you need a permit.

mixed use is different from apartment?\n\nApartment run $175-$225 sf.\nMixed us is less because the first floor is usually tenant build out, but I'm sure your aware of all this.\n\nThe real question is why your architect is not giving you help with this?

It depends entirely on the neighborhood and the building itself.  It's great to have a significant other to split the cost with.  I actually pay less in Brooklyn than I was paying in Montpelier, Vermont.\n\nSeriously, the neighborhood makes a big difference.

There are a lot of variables that you have to take into consideration, like who will be the general contractor, taxes, permits, etc.  The one thing that I can tell you is that the cost would probably be extremely high.  Palm Beach has some of the most expensive land in the state, I am just guessing but you can probably expect the lot itself to cost at least 200 grand.  Then you will have to buy the blueprints and have cop pies made of them,  maybe about 600 dollars.  After that you have to have a foundation poured, about 3 to 4 thousand( plus anywhere from 30 to 80 dollars extra per square foot for a basement).  Add to that the total for materials for rough framing,  somewhere in the area of 20 to 50 thousand.  Then the finishing materials,  anywhere from 20 to 120 thousand depending on how nice you want ot make the place.  Then you have your contractors.  The framers will be somewhere in the 20 to 80 thousand dollar range.  Then you have the electricians, plumbers, drywallers, the floor guys, the siders, painters, trim carpenters, and landscapers.  All this adds up to a ton of money.

Some of the townhomes I've seen are beautiful inside.  Here's what why I believe they're less expensive than single family.\n*They're good entry level and down-sizing housing.\n*They share a common wall...saving on exterior walls...brick, siding, insulation, wrap...all cost more $$$. 4 exterior walls instead of 8.\n*They share the same foundation - usually square or rectangular which is cheaper than a foundation with butt-outs like might be found on a single family home.\n*The subcontractors want the volume business so they'll possibly bid the job a little lower just to get it.  Good publicity for their company?\n*They 'do' the same units over and over - they're in and they're out...on to the next one.  On single family homes, confusion with changes is VERY costly.\n*The builder is probably using "builders' grade" products which are cheaper than more custom products.  You MAY be able to upgrade but you will pay the $$$ difference from what you were allowed.  Check into what you can get with your allowances.\n*The builder is probably getting special pricing from his suppliers because of the volume of townhomes he's putting in a subdivision. Good publicity for the suppliers?  Don't know how much he'd be passing on to homeowner though.

I have got a lot of friends that went/are still in school at UCLA for undergrad and grad school and they spend at least $20k for living expenses each.  I helped couple of them look for apts and move in, and the lowest for a studio apt is about $800-$850, I mean this place was small, one bedroom apartment is about $1100 or so.  Short commuting distance would mean about $100 off of the mention cost, but dont expect too much within a 10 minute drive during peak traffic hours, the place is right between Beverly Hills and Santa Monica, so you are pretty squeezed in by cost.  If you do decide to get a place and decide to get a car make sure you have parking provided for you by the hospital and at your apartment, or you are looking at couple hundred dollars for parking at work and about $75-100 for a parking spot in Westwood.  \n\n$20k a year is a bare minimum because you got rent, power, water, food. And its rather a high cost of living at that location.

You should hire a construction consultant, general contractor, someone who has done bars/restaurants before.  It always costs more than you planned.  Be prepared!

Check with some local contractors or place your add with the local newspaper.  Good Luck!

If you have not signed any papers yet, go to www.realtor.com and look up  condos in your area.  This site should have pictures and prices of the condos.  Also, look up houses in your area.  If you are bound and determined on a condo, try to find 3-4 that you like on the site.  Add the asking price of these, then get an average.  Is it in line?  If the market is weak for condos in your area, you might be able to get up to 20% off the asking price of your desired condo.  Take the asking price substract 20% and make the offer.  BEFORE YOU BUY A CONDO, MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT THE CONDO ASSOCIATION FEES WILL BE AND HOW AND WHEN THEN CAN BE RAISED.  SOME BUILDERS HAVE IN THE CONTRACT THAT THEY AND THEIR ASSOCIATES ARE THE ONLY 1s WHO CAN DO REPAIRS AND THEY JACK UP THE PRICES.  BE VERY CAREFUL AND GOOD LUCK.
