As of this writing, this week’s most popular listing has been saved by 284 users.

Assuming a 30-year mortgage and the minimum down payment of 20% ($164,000), total monthly payments are estimated at about $3,936. This includes the mortgage payment ($2,887) and maintenance fee ($1,049).

The median asking price for an Upper West Side 2BR is $1,695,000. That puts our most popular sale for June 29 at $875K below average for the neighborhood — or less than half of what an UWS 2BR typically costs.

Here comes the sun! Just look at that charming sunshine mosaic on this Upper West Side 2BR’s private rooftop terrace. It’s a huge and wide open space that is a blank slate for all your outdoor space dreams. The entry to get there is a bit odd — through a large window, rather than a full-size door — but for this kind of perk, does it matter?

If you can tear yourself away from the terrace, the rest of this apartment is a heck of a deal in a fabulous neighborhood. It’s less than a block away from Central Park and set in a gorgeous, quintessential UWS brownstone on a block full of more gorgeous brownstones. The upstairs bedroom has the terrace access plus big, bright skylights and would also make a fabulous home office. Downstairs is another bedroom, a bright living room, and a renovated bath. The kitchen has new stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, and plenty of counter and cabinet space.
