Discussion about 448 West 37th Street #8C
I am a broker who took a client to this unit and wanted to say that this unit is very misrepresented in this listing. The ceilings are not 14 feet, tax is higher than stated here, there are lot lined windows which will soon be blocked, and seller is listing this unit with different unit numbers for some reason (it was previously listed as 8CC). It looks like a homeless shelter, has not been touched or cleaned in the last 20 years, so think twice before taking any clients to this unit.
Ceiling height tends to be one of the most misrepresented metrics and has been that way for decades. Ceilings over 9 feet tend to look higher than they actually are so people don't bother measuring and just overstate. One of the easiest ways to make a better estimate is to look at a doorway and using the standard door height of 6'8" estimate how much higher the ceilings actually are than that.
