The Mies van der Rohe complex is an amazing oasis in the city -- verdant and well-maintained. A couple of my friends live there -- one in the tower, one in the townhouses. Where else can you buy a townhouse designed by a major architect in a large American city for $100K? (Beware, the fees are a little higher than normal!)
