how stigmatized do you guys think that 4 story walkups in good locations are. For example, there are some sweet top floor 4 story concrete walkups in prime locations like Sunnyside and Hillhurst that I'd have no issue living in, but they seem to be on the market a long time and I'm not sure if the fact that they're walk-ups is a big factor for people. Personally, walking up 4 floors doesn't matter at all. Top floor is my preference, amazing view of downtown etc. But the last thing I want to do is get excited about something i'll have major issues selling down the road.

prime location, view, concrete, everything. I'm thinking the only reason this thing isn't selling is no elevator. They started out at $425k and keep dropping it.
Any opinions on these types of places? I know in places like New York this is very common in older areas and older buildings. One advantage is low condo fees as there is less to repair when it goes wrong. But I assume a lot of people wouldn't see it that way and wouldn't even look at this because of the lack of elevator. Or am I way off base here
