Will Studio Fever Spread to Brooklyn?
Studios are no longer the ugly ducklings of the Manhattan residential market, according to the cover story in the real estate section of yesterday’s Times. Sales of studio apartments—long considered untrustworthy investments and far less attractive than one-bedrooms—have been all the rage this year, with their per-square-foot prices besting one-bedrooms’ in a number of neighborhoods….
Studios are no longer the ugly ducklings of the Manhattan residential market, according to the cover story in the real estate section of yesterday’s Times. Sales of studio apartments—long considered untrustworthy investments and far less attractive than one-bedrooms—have been all the rage this year, with their per-square-foot prices besting one-bedrooms’ in a number of neighborhoods. Brokers say that as developers have shied away from building new studios (and as many have been combined with adjacent apartments), demand for them has increased. But will the trend cross the river, where people have traditionally moved to get more space for their buck? Signs don’t necessarily point to yes. At marquee new condos like On Prospect Park, for example, developers have gone in the opposite direction, combining units for larger layouts. As more gigantic condo buildings come on line in Brooklyn, think developers will start adding more studios to the mix?

Clearly one with a little too much time on his hands….

That’s “motherfucker” dumbass. Learn to spell. You ought to think about seeking out a refund on that education.
New York is going down the drain alright – semi-literate people like “The What” are actually able to hold down a job!
at least 500 a month of that is tax deductible, 4:22.
at least.
1:16
assuming 20% down, the mortgage is 1460 a month. maintenance would be at least $300.
cost of owning is still more than the cost of renting.
Fuck you muthafucker I got one of the finest educations muney can buy!!

OK, “What” and 11:43 and 12:38, I am an journalist and editor and I just can’t take your TERRIBLE spelling and grammar any more!! It’s utterly shameful that adults could have such an awful, awful grasp of their primary language! Furthermore, your pathetic spelling and grammar actually make your posts confusing. There are 6th graders who write better than you guys! I realize that Internet spelling and grammar standards are very low, but this is ridiculous. I can see why the American educational system is ridiculed. STAY IN SCHOOL for God’s sake!!
“It’s not because there is no apartments, it’s because of fucking greed.”
“Please don’t say ‘you shoulda brought’. ”
“I was born and raised is Brooklyn.”
The What: are you sure you were born in Brooklyn? You write English as if it was your second language.
I’m a gay guy.
You’re gay, the what!!!???
Hot??
“You need to find a hobby, go to Prospect Park, fine yourself a lover, SOMETHING that will bring a little happiness to your life.”
