Condo of the Day: 500 4th Avenue, #PHG
While the new condo development has been on the market since last spring, this penthouse pad was just released last week. The details: Two beds, two baths, 1,062 square feet, $818,000. For those already rolling their eyes, consider that Boymelgreen was able to sell out the Novo. Granted, he got more than a two-year head-start,…

For those already rolling their eyes, consider that Boymelgreen was able to sell out the Novo. Granted, he got more than a two-year head-start, but this building looks a little nicer. Of course, it’s also quite a bit further south. Thoughts?

” I guess because to some people the size of the bathroom and the kitchen appliances are of primary importance. ugh”
Exactly – just how some people find paying a premium for “period details” ugh-inducing.
Take off the white wig – different strokes for different folks my friends.
Not going to defend 4th Avenue though.
Why anyone would pay money to live on 4th Ave is beyond me. It is gross, was always gross and will always be gross. Unless the cars go away and there are loads of trees planted on the median, it will remain gross.
why do people hate on 4th avenue so much? there are some amenities on 4th avenue that are not available in the poshy poshy avenues! also things on 4th avenue are MUCH cheaper. like 40 ounces 🙂
*rob*
i can’t resist even though it’s such an easy target. WHY would someone choose to live in this charmless cookie cutter POS apt? I guess because to some people the size of the bathroom and the kitchen appliances are of primary importance. ugh
that building ain’t go no alibi, it’s u-g-l-y.
If you have the financials for an $800K apartment, why would you ever choose to live on 4th Avenue at 11th Street? I don’t care if it’s 2,000 SF.
also,I think the competition down on 4th avenue around Mcdonalds for roughly the same sqfootage is asking $675K, albeit no doorman and fancy pants lounge, but it has a lower maintenace and nicer exterior, just maybe not as nice of a layout as these though…
Too high – wrong side of Fourth, too far south too command these prices. Unlike Novo this is priced above surrounding area.
506 maintenance on a full service building is a STEAL for this square footage.
That’s about the average maintenance of a brownstone 1 bedroom with ZERO services.
The finishes on this place look better than average to me.
Prices seem high, though.
