[quote=spdrun]I don’t know — it’s sort of a boring part of NY. Many buildings have storage for $25/mo or so. If I wanted good light in Manhattan for under $2500/mo, I’d rent something like the listings below. Charging $3000/mo for an apartment with a giant kitchen, bath, and no living space is frankly criminal. I’d sooner see most of them (a few are already subsidized) turned into subsidized housing for people who actually need that kind of setup, since it’s lacking in NYC.
I’m with you, I usually go for charm and good design over newness, but I think we might be in the minority. It will be interesting to see how these places are received by the marketplace.
