where to live in new york (Boston, Rush: 2009, apartment, condo)

[kid407]

Hi:

I feel like moving to new york. I currently live in Boston, and I'm 20 years old. Where would the best place be to buy a condo in new york for lets say under 3 million dollars? I would like for it to have a nice view, and preferrably be on a high floor. Central location, all that good stuff. I just dont really know waht area to look for since new york is so huge.

thanks a lot

If you a single young professional you want to be in downtown. There is a lot of new construction, all glass with a lot of amenities. If you like to be classy, you may want to be in Park Avenue or Fifth Avenue or Central Park West. But there are a very few condo, most of them are coops, where you have to show your income and pleanty of liquid assets. Also, keep in mind, that you have to have a mortgage pre-approval letter, because when you put an offer on apartment, you have to show it. It a very active market, very different from the rest of the country.
If you need more information, I would like to help you. You can call me 917-592-6810

You have to be a little more specific about what you're looking for. Do you want to be near the Park in Manhattan? Do you want to be downtown? These are all very different neighborhoods. Are you looking for pre-war? Post-war? How big? And not every young professional LIKES downtown.
