Our first NYC apartment for $350K (or less!) is practically an engraved invitation to first-time buyers. This Hudson Heights 1-bedroom requires a down payment of just 10%. And look what you get! There’s a large, open living space and three closets. The new kitchen sports a breakfast bar, a dishwasher, and custom cabinets. High ceilings and great natural light are nice, too. Add in-building laundry and easy access to Fort Tryon Park and subways, and you’re in business.
We stay uptown for our next NYC apartment for $350K. Coming in under budget is this lovely Park Terrace East co-op. Old-school details include original hardwood floors. And do not underestimate the original tiled bathroom with soaking tub! It’s retro, but it’s in top condition. The renovated kitchen boasts cherry cabinets, stone counters, and a dishwasher. Corner windows and other features add a lot of dimension. A very tempting choice in Inwood!
