If they lowered their prices and they lost their lease and a TD bank moved in that would be sad.Victorianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-25752754074440822902012-09-21T07:57:18.189-07:002012-09-21T07:57:18.189-07:00Its not generally known that there are a surprisin...Its not generally known that there are a surprisingly large number of relatively (well by New York standards) apartments on the Upper East Side. They are not large and often several blocks from the one, overcrowded subway line, but in terms of housing it may be the affordable neighborhood in Manhattan now below 110th/ 96th street. Actually we did a recent apartment search and didn't see much difference in the availability of apartments in our range between Carnegie Hill and East Harlem, its just the East Harlem ones were a little bigger.<br /><br />However, if you are middle class and take advantage of the relatively cheaper rents, you put yourself in a situation where if you eat out, do any shopping (well not by internet), or even go to a bar you have to leave the neighborhood where you live. Because everything is priced for elderly ladies with large investment incomes. And store hours are gauged for those same ladies, so if you work a M-F, 9-5 job you will have a hard time finding places providing basic services that are still open by the time you get home.Ednoreply@blogger.com
