Agreed this is a huge exaggeration. You can buy a studio in midtown Manhattan for $300k or a 2 bedroom in Boston for $500k.

- bally0241 5y agoA 2 bedroom in Boston for $500k, where are you shopping, Dorchester?
- thehappypm 5y agoJP and Brighton, nice parts of town.
- AceyMan 5y agoI don't know those markets much but, prima facie, those numbers seem like hooey. Citations definitely needed.
- thehappypm 5y agoZillow it yourself. $300k is the going rate for a studio near the UN in Midtown. $500k goes far just outside the downtown core of Boston in places like Brighton or Jamaica Plain or Dorchester.
- drnonsense42 5y agoFrankly, you’re the one exaggerating. The above poster is discussing “high quality” apartments. 300k will get you 250 sqft or freshly plastered bullet holes.
- thehappypm 5y agoHonestly, why comment if you don’t know what you’re talking about? Two seconds on Zillow you can see tons of properties for $300k that are neither 250sf or plastered with bullet holes. One of many examples: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/205-E-63rd-St-APT-10H-New-York-NY-10065/72528520_zpid/ https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/205-E-63rd-St-APT-10H-New...
- reducesuffering 5y agoA $2k/mth HoA??
- thehappypm 5y agoThat usually includes taxes and utilities in New York.
- ahtihn 5y agoThat sounds incredibly high for a place worth 300k. I'm thinking it's only 300k because of that 2k/month on top.
- drnonsense42 5y agoEverything else aside, you’re claiming you know what you talk about when you make a post about midtown and send a link to UES? I don’t think you know the city at all
