History & Character

The Elliott dates back to circa 1915–1917 and was originally permitted as an apartment house. Over the years, it’s been sensitively updated to preserve historic elements (crown moldings, hardwood floors, exposed brick) while incorporating modern necessities.

What makes it special:

  • Light-filled units, often with sunrooms.

  • Original hardwoods, decorative features, character touches.

  • Some units have exposed brick walls and architectural flourishes.

  • A cozy courtyard and shared communal spaces.

Unit Types, Pricing & HOA

  • Units tend to be modest in size, many 1-bed / 1-bath, though some 2-bed arrangements exist.

  • HOA fees cover building maintenance, insurance, common area upkeep, and often include at least one assigned parking in the building garage. (Parking is actually in the Garage for The Dakota Condominiums)

  • Unique features: each building in the community has only a few units per floor, with secured entry.

Lifestyle & Community Vibe

Living at The Elliott means:

  • You’ll hear birds and distant city hum — a balance of quiet and energy.

  • Strong sense of neighbors: with fewer units, you tend to know the folks next door.

  • Being close to the arts, culture, and night life of Midtown, yet having a residential rhythm.

  • Flexibility for home offices: many units include sunrooms or bonus spaces that adapt well.

Pros & Cons — What to Know

Pros:

  • Historic charm that newer towers can’t replicate

  • Intimate scale, fewer neighbors, stronger sense of community

  • Excellent Midtown location, walkable to many amenities

Cons / Challenges:

  • Smaller units — not for someone needing large open floorplans

  • Because it’s historic, some mechanical systems may be less modern (though many units have been updated)

  • Limited parking supply (though there is assigned garage parking)

  • Resale inventory is low — units don’t turn over quickly, which is good for owners, tougher for buyers
