Recommendations for good co-op buildings to buy apartment?
Not sure if this this type of post is allowed here, so please let me know if not.
My lease is up in the fall, and while I love renting (it’s comforting knowing I can just submit maintenance requests instead of repairing myself), the rental prices for a 1-bedroom in NYC are making me feel sick, and I think I’m ready to finally invest in buying an apartment for my next move.
Some details about what I’m looking for:
-Prefer to keep budget below $725K for 1-bedroom
-Priorities: safety, cleanliness, and living with respectful neighbors (I’m in my late 30s and would like my new home to be a peaceful sanctuary within the bustling city)
-Preferred neighborhoods are Gramercy, Flatiron, Kip’s Bay, Turtle Bay (but open to exploring other neighborhoods if others have had really positive experiences!)
EDIT: Thank you all for the helpful feedback! Seems I was approaching this the wrong way. So my revised question— does anyone have any recommendations for great buyer’s brokers for Gramercy, Flatiron, Kip’s Bay, or Turtle Bay?
