Updated 1BR/1BA Condo — 715 Sq Ft in Hillside Manor

Unit 1D at 21661 Hillside Drive presents a compact, thoughtfully refreshed 1-bedroom condominium in the well-kept Hillside Manor community. At 715 square feet this single-level unit showcases recent updates that matter: new vinyl plank flooring throughout, fresh paint, and modern light fixtures that give the space a clean, contemporary feel. The open living area flows into a practical kitchen with ample cabinetry and an efficient footprint that makes everyday living simple.

Practical systems set this unit apart for buyers seeking low-maintenance living. Heat is provided by radiant in-floor systems and cooling is handled with a wall-mounted AC unit — straightforward, economical systems that support year-round comfort. The bedroom offers generous closet space and the full bathroom has been updated with new fixtures. With no basement and one story of living, upkeep is minimal and move-in complexity is reduced.

Hillside Manor is a brick-built complex (1980) with asphalt shingle roofs and community-managed exterior maintenance. The condo’s HOA covers water, gas, trash and exterior upkeep, which translates to predictable monthly expenses and hands-off ownership. One assigned parking space is included; there is no private garage. Taxes are unusually low—annual property taxes reported at $335—making ownership here an economical option for budget-conscious buyers.

Location is a practical selling point. The building sits a short distance from the Gratiot Avenue corridor, placing groceries, dining and daily errands close at hand: Kroger (0.7 mi), Walgreens (0.6 mi) and local favorites like Vince & Joe’s Gourmet Market and Luigi’s Original are all nearby. Quick access to I-94 and M-59 makes commutes across Metro Detroit manageable. Whether you’re a first-time homeowner, downsizing, or adding an affordable rental to your portfolio, this unit offers a straightforward, updated base in a stable community.
