Most recent apartment buildings.
Hey all,
I am just about to move to New York City and am desperate to find an apartment, but I need to filter many out before I choose and since I'm not so familiar with the city in itself, I would like to ask some of you for help.
I am looking to live somewhere in the Midtown, SoHo, Financial District, Downtown, Wall street area. I want a luxury apartment with a doorman, and it has to have been built within the past five years (for health reasons). If somebody could give me a simple list with phone numbers in these few areas it would be VERY much appreciated!!
Thanks,
-James
Your criteria literally encompasses thousands of units of housing in dozens of buildings. Could you narrow down your neighborhood criteria a bit?Originally Posted by influxer
Perhaps you could also give us a price range. Every single market rate unit constructed in Manhattan (and Brooklyn for that matter) is marketed as "luxury" housing. Also, almost every building in Manhattan over 10 floors or so has a doorman.
This site is a good start from my personal experience. There isn't exactly a single list matching all your criteria, but a lot of the information is here. A good start would be to click on the "Real Estate" tab on this site, which shows numerous developments, including their dates.
At the risk of being nosey, getting a better handle on what health issues you are working with could help. There a lot of formerly commercial spaces out there that are old (50, 100 years or more) that have recently been completely gutted, renovated etc to make them essentially new buildings...
Hi, sorry for not clarifying. I am aiming to live anywhere between Battery Park/Financial District all the way up to 60th street.
I just know that mold is very typical in older buildings and I would like to play it safe and pay a bit more for a newer building. My price range is up to $2500 for a studio.
This website is a great resource for finding that out but I have to present a list to my roommate (the health freak) with phone numbers and date built, and if any of you have a document or something handy..it would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to go through each entry and figure out their phone numbers.
Thanks!!
You should be able to walk around the city and spot out the newer buildings and then go from there...
The problem is I'm not in the city yet.
Its always a good idea to see the apartment before you buy even though for the price you're willing to spend you wont get anything squalid but you should not buy sight unseen.
right, but I would like a rough idea of what I am looking at before I arrive in New York
One good place to look is in the Real Estate section of the New York Times -often new luxury buildings will take out large panel ads displaying rents, amenities and availabilities. I always check this every year I renew my rent to get an idea of market prices.
I think your $2500 studio price is more than reasonable (alot of luxury 1 bedrooms come clost to that price.) With your spending power you might want to check out a Related building (www.related.com). They have some of the nicest rentals in NYC and you definately won't have to worry about mold.
Easy as pie...
Hi James,
I'm a broker here in NYC. Your budget of $2500 for a newer studio and the fact that you have such an open area to live within leaves you with tons of options. In fact, you can get into a luxury, doorman hi-rise in many of these areas without paying a fee. Feel free to email me w/ any questions.
Cheers and good-luck!
ezra4!!
