[quote=bearishgurl]My (armchair) experience with NY’s upper east side (spacious) flats/apts (co-ops?) was from the pages of Architectural Digest, lol. Its depicted “remodeled” apts appeared to be 2200 to 3600 sf (avg of abt 2500-2600 sf). The views from most of the windows were spectacular, as I recall.

You may not realize it, but that kind of square footage is huge for anywhere in the city. 300 to 500 sq foot 1br or less apartments are more common, and even those sell for $700/sq foot and up. >2,000 sq foot is more often closer to $1,000/sq ft and up. And maintenance fees of over $1,000/mo. even in those smaller units are not uncommon. It really isn’t anything like the SD market.
I spent a few minutes looking and this one doesn’t seem atypical.
