I feel you but even that 800k price is crazy 😳. I feel like if you can afford this for a condo, you probably can work remotely and so don’t need to be close to the city lol

Yep :/ it is in a condominium not a cooperative though, so whoever buys it can rent the apartment out whenever they want and sell it to whoever they want for however much they can get.

I mostly just like that its simply a regular old modest building that was built for normal people. You don't really see that anymore with new buildings, its all ostentatious luxury (or luxury appearing) buildings almost exclusively aimed toward highly-educated childless professionals and not a broader mix of people, often with unnecessary amenities and units that are over-sized and under-bedroomed.
