I took a tour of this building and first of all, it is not in Kew Gardens, it is in Richmond Hill. The reason they say that it is in Kew Gardens is so that they can try to justify the crazy prices they are asking for the apartments.

Yes, they are nice, but IMHO in no way worth what they are asking. 550K for a 2 bedroom condo with barely a living area!? Pass, please!!! Especially since there isnt a demand AT ALL in the immediate area for for that type of housing in that price range.

If you like the area and feel like throwing away money, then go for it. This place has been open for a year and is something like 30% sold. They are even trying to rent out the apartments instead of selling them. Desperate times, my friend.

Default MetroFalls

Thanks Joey for the response. My search continues.

Are you familiar with any other apartment buildings that have a "Manhattan like" feel?

I am a single guy, so I wouldn't mind a building that is not crowded with kids.

Curzon Road is in Kew Gardens. It's like a block away from Park Lane South. Richmond Hill starts south of Myrtle/Hillside Avenues.

Is this a new trend...no real living room. A friend bought a 2 bedroom townhouse whose bottom floor was basically a garage, a kitchen, and a large foyer with stairs...which turned out to be the "living room?" A small sofa and chair and the room was FULL. You sat on the sofa and stared at the opposing wall about 7 feet away. GOOFY!
