The Tennyson Condos For Sale & Neighborhood Guide

About The Tennyson

The Tennyson is a 90-unit vertical condominium completed in 2006 at 121 North Monroe Street in downtown Tallahassee. The building combines privately owned residences with shared building services and amenities, creating an ownership option for buyers who value central-city access and condominium living over maintaining a detached home and yard.

Residences range from one-bedroom units to larger multi-bedroom and penthouse floor plans. Unit size is only one part of the comparison. Floor level, orientation, balcony configuration, renovation quality, parking allocation, view direction, and interior condition can materially affect market value within the same building.

Downtown Tallahassee Location And Access

The Tennyson sits near the intersection of North Monroe Street and East Call Street in the heart of downtown Tallahassee. Its location places residents near the Florida Capitol complex, government offices, downtown businesses, restaurants, entertainment, parks, festivals, and other central-city destinations.

Buyers who want to compare The Tennyson with other urban housing options can review Plaza Tower, Tallahassee Center, and the broader Midtown Tallahassee market. The important comparison is not simply distance from downtown, but how each property combines location, ownership structure, parking, amenities, monthly obligations, and housing type.

Residences, Building Features, And Amenities

The Tennyson provides an amenity package designed around high-rise condominium living. The building includes concierge reception, controlled building and residential-floor access, video security, an amenity room, board room, fitness room, sauna, outdoor terrace, high-speed elevators, and an attached access-controlled parking garage with assigned spaces.

Many residences include private balconies. Higher floors can provide broad views across downtown Tallahassee, the State Capitol, Florida State University, and the surrounding tree canopy. Buyers should evaluate the actual unit because view orientation, balcony position, floor level, natural light, interior improvements, storage, and parking can differ substantially from one residence to another.

Condominium ownership also shifts some responsibilities from the individual owner to the association. That can reduce exterior-maintenance obligations, but it makes the association’s budget, reserves, insurance, building condition, rules, and long-term planning important parts of the purchase decision.

The Tennyson Association, Utilities, And Ownership Costs

The Tennyson is governed by The Tennyson Owners’ Association. Current 2026 listing data reports the regular condominium assessment at $9,900 annually, equivalent to $825 per month. Published association materials state that the regular residential assessment is uniform among residential units rather than being based on unit size.

The assessment supports building operations and shared services. Current listing information identifies included items such as common areas, cable television, structural maintenance, pest control, trash, and water. Buyers should review the current association budget, reserves, insurance information, governing documents, meeting records, assessment history, and any disclosed building projects before closing.

The Tennyson does not have a Community Development District assessment. Electric service is provided through City of Tallahassee Utilities, and the building is served by municipal water and sewer.

Condominium buyers should also understand the ownership and closing documents that apply to the individual unit. Manausa’s explanation of title insurance in Florida provides additional context for one part of the closing process, while the mortgage calculator and home affordability calculator can help organize costs beyond the association assessment.

Leasing And Use Restrictions

The association maintains rules governing residential use, leasing, parking, pets, building access, and other aspects of ownership. The association’s published materials state that leases must be at least 30 consecutive days and that daily, weekly, and other transient rentals are prohibited. A buyer planning to rent a unit should review the current declaration, amendments, rules, approval procedures, and any changes adopted before closing.

Schools Serving The Tennyson

The public schools provided for The Tennyson are Hartsfield Elementary School, Cobb Middle School, and Leon High School.

Buyers should verify the exact unit address through the official Leon County Schools assignment resources before making a housing decision because attendance boundaries can change.

The Tennyson Real Estate Market Snapshot

The following market elements provide both short-term and long-term perspective on condominium sales at The Tennyson. Sales volume is relatively low, and units vary substantially in square footage, floor level, views, floor plan, condition, renovation level, parking, and balcony configuration. As a result, a small number of transactions can materially affect annual averages.

The Tennyson Condo Prices

The price graph tracks average completed sale prices over time. The recent portion helps show the direction of current transactions, while the longer history provides perspective on how sale prices have changed since the building’s original sales.

Average price can rise or fall because the mix of units sold changes. A year containing larger residences, penthouses, renovated units, or higher-floor properties may produce a very different average from a year dominated by smaller or less-updated units.

The Tennyson Condo Values

The value graph measures average sale price per square foot and helps compare transactions involving differently sized units. It is useful market context, but it should not be treated as a stand-alone valuation formula.

Floor level, views, renovation quality, balcony configuration, parking, condition, and floor plan can all affect what a buyer will pay. Manausa’s guide to using price per square foot in real estate explains why the metric is helpful for studying a market but incomplete for valuing one specific property.

The Tennyson Condo Sizes

The size graph tracks the average heated and cooled living area of units sold each year. Comparing it with price and value trends helps explain periods when a change in the mix of unit sizes influenced the building-wide average sale price.

A year containing several penthouse or larger multi-bedroom sales can look very different from one dominated by smaller residences. Size should therefore be interpreted with floor level, condition, views, parking, and the individual transactions below.

Recent The Tennyson Condo Sales

The sales table provides transaction-level evidence behind the building averages. Compare closing date, sale price, price per square foot, living area, floor position, renovation level, parking, and view characteristics before deciding which transactions are genuinely comparable.

The strongest comparable sales generally involve units with similar square footage, bedroom count, floor position, orientation, condition, renovations, parking allocation, and view characteristics. For time-sensitive neighborhood reporting, use the The Tennyson market report archive. For broader housing conditions, review the current Tallahassee real estate market analysis.

The charts establish building-level context, but the next step is unit-specific. Buyers and sellers should compare the exact residence with the units that compete most directly with it rather than applying one building average mechanically.

Buying A Condo At The Tennyson

Buyers should compare The Tennyson units according to more than square footage alone. Floor level, direction of view, balcony configuration, parking allocation, renovations, floor plan, condition, and association-related considerations can create meaningful differences between residences of similar size.

Condominium due diligence should include review of the association budget, reserves, financial statements, governing documents, insurance, current assessments, meeting records, leasing restrictions, parking rights, and any pending building projects or special assessments disclosed during the transaction. Buyers who are financing the purchase should also confirm lender requirements for the condominium project early in the process.

Monthly ownership costs extend beyond principal and interest. Taxes, insurance, association assessments, utilities, and other expenses should be considered together. Manausa’s guide to principal, interest, taxes, and insurance helps explain that broader payment picture.

Additional guidance is available in the Tallahassee home-buying resources. Buyers can also use the Home Finder to define their search and compare downtown condominium opportunities.

Selling A Condo At The Tennyson

Sellers should price a Tennyson residence using recent comparable units with similar size, floor level, view orientation, condition, floor plan, balcony configuration, and parking. Building-wide averages can be misleading when recent transactions include a mixture of smaller residences, larger units, and penthouses.

Interior updates, presentation, balcony views, floor position, parking, and current competing inventory can all influence buyer perception and marketability. Sellers should also have current association information available because buyers and lenders may evaluate assessments, budgets, reserves, insurance, rules, and building-level obligations as part of the transaction.

Pricing should account for the specific unit’s competitive position rather than the seller’s desired proceeds. Manausa’s discussion of price elasticity in real estate explains why buyer response changes with asking price and competition.

Owners preparing to sell can review the Tallahassee home-selling resources, request a property-specific home evaluation, and review the team’s real estate marketing plan.
