Open house of the week: University

University of Hawaii classes resume in just over a month, so this week’s open house is an apartment on University Avenue.

The two-bedroom one-bath garden apartment in the Ala Wai Cove is just a few blocks away from the UH Manoa campus, making it a good alternative to student dorm rooms or faculty housing.

As a bonus, the building is pet friendly, allowing up to two dogs with no weight limit. It’s located right next to a park, too, so dog owners won’t have to go far to find open space for walks.

The marketing copy calls it “a condo that feels like a home,” with direct entry from the parking stall, and a private, 175 square foot patio.

The unit itself is 811 square feet. Inside, you’ll find koa-trim cabinets, granite counters, 9-foot-high ceilings and tiled floors.

The building has storage and a resident manager on site.

The apartment is located at 509 University Avenue #105. Open houses are scheduled for the next two Sundays from 2 to 5 p.m. and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Money talk: $438,000
