It’s no news that New York City is one of the most expensive cities in the nation. In fact, according to RealtyHop’s October Affordability Index, households in NYC have to set aside over 82% of their annual income toward homeownership.
While many properties come with a price tag of $1 million and more, there are some beautiful apartments available for less than $750K. We hand-selected a few options for you to consider if you are thinking about buying in NYC now. Perhaps Bed-Stuy, Astoria, Fort Greene, or the Upper West Side could be your next home!
