Located in Alton, Illinois — one of the most historically rich and scenic communities on the Illinois side of the St. Louis Metro — this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home on Central Ave offers an accessible path to homeownership with owner financing and a low $1,500 down payment. Alton sits along the Mississippi River bluffs just north of the Missouri border, offering buyers a charming small-city feel with proximity to the greater St. Louis market. The city has seen steady interest from buyers priced out of the Missouri side, and Central Ave is a well-known corridor running through the heart of Alton's residential fabric. For those looking to put down roots in a community with character, history, and ongoing neighborhood investment, Alton continues to attract buyers who want more home for their dollar. This home is priced at $69,000 with a $695/month payment — a figure that competes favorably with rental rates in the area and puts ownership within reach without the need for a traditional bank loan. Owner financing means no lengthy approval process and no conventional mortgage required. **Seller Requirement:** A TransUnion eviction report is required as part of the buyer process. The seller will send the request directly — interested buyers should submit their information to get the process started. This property is sold as-is, and all buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence, including a property inspection, prior to purchase. For buyers ready to invest in the Alton community and build equity rather than pay rent, this Central Ave home represents a straightforward opportunity to make that move with minimal upfront cost. ---
