Apartment Hunting
A friend and I have begun researching the apartment market here in Manhattan looking for something less scuzzy than where we live now, yet affordable (a hideously relative word in NYC). So I was looking at places via the net tonight through an agency that I know is reputable.
The first apartment I clicked on was actually a three bedroom, but I thought I'd take a look just out of curiosity. Curiosity kills!
It was listed for sale at $7.5 MILLION dollars. Not only that, the MONTHLY tax and building maintenance fee is almost $7700. Yes, $7700. (There is no punctuation missing.)
Sweet jesus.
Either that is going to be an anomaly, or we're going to have to recruit roommates by the dozens and live like the Mexican pickle harvesters.
