View vs Balcony

[spaceboy]

If you have two apartments in the same building.

One is 750sf on a higher floor with better view.
The other is a 680sf on a lower floor, but with a 70 sf balcony.

What will the price difference be between the two apartments?

Thanks

Generally buildings that have balconies on a low floor will have a balcony on ever floor above it. Plus, it depends on how much lower the apartment with the balcony is, I would think. Views are always nice, but there's an extra prestige that comes with having a balcony. It's a tough call.

Yes they do. I guess assume its a different unit... on a higher floor w/o a balcony, but larger. Lets say:

6th floor, 680sf, 75sf balcony
vs
10th floor, 750sf, no balcony

What kind of price difference should i expect?

Thanks

Is this hypothetical, or are you apartment hunting and these are two options available to you in the same building?

Well it was a real decision and I already chose one of the two... just trying to get some thoughts and/or facts about impacts of view and size and balcony on price.

Go for the interior space first.

Balconies are nice, but the SF are not the same value.

If you had a choice between a 700 or 710 SF apartment with a 70SF balcony and a 750 SF apartment/no balcony, I would say that they would be pitching a bit more even.

It also depends on layout, but I am assuming that you have the same layour on these two.

Oh, one final thing, a lot of the balconies I have seen in the city are nothing to die for.. So.....

My parents' apartment has two balconies, neither of which are really substantial. In warm weather we use one to grill steak or burgers; in winter we use the other to store cold drinks during parties. My mom used to grow flowers in planters, but she hasn't reseeded for a while. They're nice to get a breath of fresh air on and everything, but they're too small to make major use of.
