Is anyone looking at condo's in the city?
we are looking at condo's in a few different nabes in the city...I just wanted to know if I am alone...
if we don't go the condo route, we'll be moving out of Brooklyn and up to Westchester

We started too but we'd need a 2BR and between maintenance fees and the garage it's crazy  we just rented again until next summer when we probably make the move to the burbs...
ETA: We were looking in Manhattan

We looked at some condos in Queens. Are you definitely looking to move to Manhattan?

the city is more than just Manhattan love.
we are looking throughout the 4 borroughs (that count...sorry Janie  ) of NYC.
and tourist...we did the drive through already...I've found a few places that make it easier to suck it up

Are you interested in condos only or would you consider a co-op?

Re: Is anyone looking at condo's in the city?
We looked a bit before buying on LI - I wanted to be in Manhattan though, and we just could not afford a 'normal' sized place -
Good Luck !!!

Re: Is anyone looking at condo's in the city?
DH and I would like to buy a condo in Brooklyn. They're popping up like crazy, so we'll have a lot to look at, though the prices will probably be . We definitely need 2 bedrooms.

condos are way more appealing to me right now b/c of the tax abatements being offered.
and co-op common charges/maintainence is OUT OF CONTROL in most spots.
Snickers...with all these buildings going up and demand going down, I am hoping to get something nice for the right price.
Good luck to you too.

Re: Is anyone looking at condo's in the city?
You HAVE to be insane to do that...I meant to look in NYC 
ETA: You're better off going to look in LIC or Greenpoint, Brooklyn area...at least you have an awesome view for a little bit less...

Re: Is anyone looking at condo's in the city?
Yes we are - after living here for 9 years we decided to take the plunge and buy.
It was hard to find something affordable that was still (relatively) close to our jobs. We just went to contract on a fixer-upper that has great bones, but has not been renovated since the 50s. We had to sacrifice a little bit on area as we're going to pretty far up, but we wanted more space.
And we don't have a view of anything but side streets :)

I agree with the tax abatements...it's a huge incentive...
DH and I really want to stay in the city...
Good luck to you too!

Re: Is anyone looking at condo's in the city?
We owned a condo and sold it to move to NJ. A condo is better than a co-op, but it's still crazy expensive...the maintenance fees and the other misc. crap that seems to pop up every month....it's hard to keep up!

Really? Probably any of the neighborhoods I lived in.
I am going through one of my "Westchester is dull & I miss Astoria" phases.
Good luck with your house/condo hunt.

those Rockaway apts are GORGEOUS (at least in picture) but too far away from everything for me....Westchester is closer to where I live now than Rockaway is
Park Slope girls we should have a mini gtg. I need more friends here
