I'm guessing remote work, or a high position in the midwest or some other place?
In SF/Seattle/NYC, 250K is not enough for a studio apartment.
- Grazester 2y agoThat is nonsense. That's more than enough to afford a studio in New York City. You can easily afford a luxury studio with a doorman and a pool making half of that!
- marcuskane2 2y agoIs a "luxury studio" a real thing in NYC real estate or was this a joke? The term itself sounds absurd and oxymoronic to me, but also I know NYC housing is absurd and I can imagine that there are places that do nice interior finishes on studio apartments and call them luxury so maybe it's real?
- Grazester 2y agoA door man is considered a luxury here bud and an indoor pool is as luxury as you get.These apartments also include a patio, a washer and drier.
- HDThoreaun 2y agoThere are tons of apartments for less than 250k in nyc right now, just gotta accept the bronx or maybe far out queens. https://www.zillow.com/new-york-ny/?searchQueryState=%7B%22pagination%22%3A%7B%7D%2C%22isMapVisible%22%3Atrue%2C%22mapBounds%22%3A%7B%22west%22%3A-74.13065718103026%2C%22east%22%3A-73.8199500887451%2C%22south%22%3A40.72634756398208%2C%22north%22%3A40.87837981068342%7D%2C%22usersSearchTerm%22%3A%22New%20York%20NY%22%2C%22regionSelection%22%3A%5B%7B%22regionId%22%3A6181%2C%22regionType%22%3A6%7D%5D%2C%22filterState%22%3A%7B%22sort%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3A%22globalrelevanceex%22%7D%2C%22price%22%3A%7B%22max%22%3A250000%7D%2C%22mp%22%3A%7B%22max%22%3A1267%7D%7D%2C%22isListVisible%22%3Atrue%2C%22mapZoom%22%3A13%7D https://www.zillow.com/new-york-ny/?searchQueryState=%7B%22p...
