The parcel
What you are actually getting
Leroy Avenue, Alton, Madison County. Just over a quarter acre of paved frontage in an established Alton neighborhood.
Bought direct from the owner
This is 0.28 acres on Leroy Avenue, inside Alton's existing street grid rather than out on a speculative plat. We own it and sell it to you directly. You receive a Quit Claim Deed that we prepare and record. We hold recorded title to the parcel, and you are welcome to verify title independently. No agents, no markup, no layers between you and the owner.
An infill lot, not raw land
The difference between a city infill lot and rural acreage is what is already in the ground. Leroy Avenue is paved and it is part of Alton's built infrastructure, with municipal utilities running through the neighborhood. On rural land a well and a septic system alone can run fifteen to thirty thousand dollars before you pour anything. Here the question is a connection, not an installation. Verify the specifics with the City of Alton for this address before you plan a build around it.
Alton, and the St. Louis side of the river
Alton sits on the Mississippi in Madison County, Illinois, about twenty five miles north of downtown St. Louis. It is a real town with a downtown, a riverfront, hospitals and employers, and it feeds a metro of two and a half million people across the bridge. This is a market where a lot can be a build site, a rental play or a long hold, depending on what you want from it.
Priced to move, and cheap to carry
This is priced well under what comparable retail lots ask in the area, and it is sold strictly as is. No homeowners association, no dues, no committees. Annual taxes run about $380. Buy it for cash, or ask about owner financing with a low down payment.
What we will not pretend about this parcel
Every parcel has something wrong with it. Here is what is wrong with this one, so you can weigh it before you spend a day driving to it.
- Utility connections are available in the area but have not been confirmed for this lot. The City of Alton is the office to ask, and the answer changes your build budget. Get it before you buy.
- Taxes here are about $380 a year, several times what a rural Florida lot costs to carry. That is normal for a city lot with municipal services behind it, but it is real money and you should plan for it.
- No survey has been commissioned. The boundaries come from the plat and the county's mapping, not from stakes in the ground. You can order a survey at your own cost if you want the corners marked.
- The deed is a Quit Claim Deed. It conveys the interest we hold and carries no warranty of title. Verify title independently through a title company or an attorney before you close.
