For Aspiring Downtowners: Where You’ll Get More for Your Money

Admittedly, I still dream of living in Downtown Manhattan. As an Upper West Sider, while I appreciate walking on quiet streets and living near a vast amount of green space in Riverside Park and Central Park, I definitely dig the vibe south of 23rd Street.

Back in 2008 when we were searching for an apartment to buy, my husband and I aimed to live in Chelsea. As a matter of fact, we came pretty close to buying a co-op on 24th between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, but we couldn’t pull the trigger because the price was higher, and the space required more work than comparable apartments farther uptown. Disappointed, we figured everything happens for a reason, so we started to focus our search on the Upper West Side. I guess Chelsea wasn’t meant to be, because here we are, six years later, living in the heart of the Upper West.
