Looking for studio/1br condo in a luxury building

[gitak]

I am looking for a studio or 1br condo in a luxury highrise. Unfortunately, my price range in <$300k (the lower the better). From my research, it appears that the most affordable condos are located in the Battery Park City area. I have also looked into new contruction (since I am currently in a lease right now), but those seem to be very expensive. I am open to any area of Manhattan. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Go North, young man. Upper East side, Harlem, Inwood, Washington Heights.

or maybe Brooklyn? I'm not too familiar with Brooklyn.

You could definitely find a place in Park Slope or Williamsburg for that amount. Send me a Private Message if you want suggestions.

i don't remember seeing any buildings with more than 5 stories in williamsburg. have they started building highrises over there?

There were already a bunch of 10-20 floor buildings there, mostly middle income city housing. Schaefer Landing under construction now is 3 highrises.

Wow, it looks like just what I wanted. Unfortunately, it seems like I might be a little late on this one. Know of any others?

You're not late. The project is nowhere near complete. www.schaeferlanding.com

I've always loved Battery Park City--even though it will be a few years before i'll be able to move to NYC, what do studios or 1 bedroom aparments usually run around there(rent-wise). And with rent, how long do most building usually allow you to stay? I've seen some where they're only available for a year----but in most cases, you can stay as long as you please(if you abide by all the rules and pay rent, of course), right??

These are already sold out, I cant believe how quickly, this is why I think BK needs taller residential buidlings. JMO.

Pottebaum - in battery park city, you can get a 1 bedroom in the south part for less than 2k if you are willing to go with one of the older buildings owned by Milford Management.
