It’s got unnecessarily crude language and site design that’s still pretty rough around the edges, but Cheap$#!& Condos is still pretty funny. I hope whoever is behind it keeps updating.

Thanks for making my day!
OMG that was good for a laugh. I’ve never seen so many butt ugly condos before… Wow.
That is hilarious stuff. I hope they keep it updated.
Apparently if you paint "chocolatey" apartments from the 60’s with “trendy” colors and give it a stupid name you can just reel them in. I wish I had been a developer about three years ago, easier money than running a casino.
Reminds me of the saying “lipstick on a pig.”
B…
I was wondering…if we bubbleheads were to buy one of these “chocolatey” condos…does that mean we have graduated from the class of the great unwashed?
;^)
Wow. Maybe those condos will sell due to their ugliness? Like those real bad movies that get cult status?
Funny that we thought this for years: all of those condos were within a few blocks of where I lived on Capitol Hill. We watched the neighborhood be flooded/replaced by those monstrosities until we gave up and moved to a neighborhood that was not a full attack on the eyes and sensibilities.
Each one of these comes with their own Kinkos, Quiznos and/or Coffee Shoppe.
I walk by the “trendsetters” place all the time. I hate that building. I’m also particularly annoyed by all the “live historic” advertisements. Is it really vintage if there’s a big green advertisement/sign out in front of the building?
Too funny….love the corner balcony post!
@8: Don’t knock Kinkos, Quiznos and/or Starbucks/insert-favorite-indy-coffee-joint-here. I’d never leave the building if it had those.
I’ll see your crappy condos and raise you a “Most UGLY over priced house”

Loved the picks – I’m originally from Seattle, living in NJ now- we have some butt-ugly condos here, too.
I recall a building that was flush up against Rt 280 (you could reach out of your living room window and touch the cars commuting 24/7) that advertised itself as “close to transit”.
