All of the Fordham construction for next 20 years will leave the building without adequate light, no views, and no peace. The Amsterdam House on the West side is also a low income housing (see link to story about drug raids below) Given the high monthly fee & taxes, the listing prices in the Alfred seem high and a risky investment for years to come. Low 700s should be the right price handle, at 800s it is an immediate loss of 100k+ in equity! Does anyone have any experience with the building and it's management....ability to rent at a competitive, with all of the listings around?
