Condo LIC or Manhattan Co-op

Hi, I'm debating between a 2bed 2bath condo in LIC which is selling for 750K. Specs are 1100 sq foot with nice views and a balcony. The other choice is a 2bed 1.5bath co-op in Manhattan (around Lenox hill 61st east side) for $575K around 960 square foot. The one thing I want to mention is that the LIC condos have a monthly maintenance plus property tax of $650 and the Manhattan co-op is around $1650. I’m going crazy deciding between the two. Please suggest what would be better. My husband and I currently live in Manhattan and have been for 8 years but I can’t help but love the brand new condos. Thank you in advance for anything that may help us make a wise long-term decision.
