Rental at 26 West 87th Street - 3Br Townhouse Duplex

that's still way too much i think for this market. i'd see that renting for more like 7,500 or 8k.

6 K maybe

Well, as I told my husband, I would be surprised if it went under 8k. We recently looked at a 2300 sq/ft classic 7 and in comparison, this duplex felt massive. The rooms are so expansive, the ceilings are so high. The space is just great. Layout is a bit awkward, but you could work with it. The new (renovations) meets old also detracts from the value, IMO. Though, I think compared to other asking prices, this one isn't too far off.

Just more general info in case anyone is interested: They're still working on the stoop. Can't paint it until warmer weather, so it too is a big eyesore. The owners aren't doing anything with the garden level right now. The garden, which I don't believe is accessible, needs work. There is one other family living in the upper portion of the TH (related to the owner, I think).

LOL. 6k...not sure. You should see it. The space is impressive. ;) We're totally taking it if it goes for 6k!!

Actually, after further consideration, the lack of closet space would make this a challenge, especially if you have children (and all the good stuff that comes along w/ them ;). You could invest in nice wardrobes and storage systems, but who wants to do that with a temporary place? Hmm, maybe this will drop more than I thought. We shall see...

agree, if that gets close to 6k we will race you to the broker.

uws100- did you see the space? did you like it? worthy of $9500?

wonder what it went for, http://www.streeteasy.com/nyc/rental/458515-condo-26-west-87th-street-upper-west-side-new-york?email=true
