"It can't just be the neighb or the apartment since you probably have thousands very similar to choose from? "
I am starting to get serious about buying after years of renting... I live in a new building in LES (LOVE THE HOOD) own by a friend and I love it. I love our central air, I love our W/D, I love our wall to wall windows and I love our shiny wide plank dark wood floors.
While I would LOVE to stay in LES, unfortunately I can't afford to buy in our building. However, in bburg there are inventory that looks like what I live in now (designer condos) for about 500k and a couple blocks from the bedford L. The vibe is the same even if it's a bit over expose, the crowd is creative.. young and certain parts are ethnic chic.
Where would I find something like that in in lower Manhattan with the same vibe and price?
If anyone can enlighten me.. I would really love to know. I would be more than happy to consider it.
I think my point is... while bburg might be over-saturated in terms of housing stock but maybe it's just the right kind of lifestyle choice for some. I am really happy knowing I can actually afford a shiny glass condo close to a metro line in a fun, young and creative neighborhood. What is the downside to that?
