Townhomes and condos are a different market. Over the same 12 months, townhomes had a median sale price of $516,000 on 40 sales (vs. $507,435 on 54 a year earlier); condos had a median of $358,000 on 17 sales. With small numbers, one or two sales can swing the median a lot. Call me for a price on a specific townhome or condo.
Why not use the 28205 numbers? 28205 covers NoDa plus other neighborhoods. Its single-family median for the same 12 months was $613,000 on 576 sales. NoDa’s was $714,500, about 17% higher. If you price a home here off ZIP-wide numbers, you will be off.

About NoDa

History: Built from 1903 as a nearly self-contained mill district around Highland Park Mill No. 3 (built 1903-04), with Mecklenburg Mill (1905) and Johnston Mill (1913) following. Artists began renovating buildings in the 1990s, the Neighborhood Theater opened in 1997, and the NoDa name came into use in the 2000s.

Main commercial areas: N. Davidson St (original mill-village main street) and E. 36th St (home of the Neighborhood Theater, the former Astor theater).

Parks and greenways: Cordelia Park (2100 N. Davidson St) and the Little Sugar Creek Greenway.
