My mortgage four a four-bedroom, three-bathroom house in what is considered "in town" in Atlanta is about the same as this.
Well, that is in the East Village of Manhattan, which is a great area, very trendy and is one of the few places on the island outside of Central Park that has real trees lining the streets... and that is actually a really good deal for that area. Hell, that building may even have a doorman.
Don't get me wrong; I love visiting New York. But I can't understand why anyone over the age of about 23 would think that being some place "very trendy" would be worth living like that. That's how people live in Bangladesh, not when they're well off in the US.
YEAH BUT I CAN WALK TO THE CUTEST SHOPS AND HOTTEST CLUBS
why'd ya leave, scotty brah?
A friend of ours used to live on the Upper East Side in what I would consider to be a minimal arrangement for decent adult living -- one bedroom, one living room, a tiny kitchen, a tiny bathroom. It was decent but not particularly lavish or anything. She was a highly paid lawyer at a prestigious firm and that's all she could comfortably afford.
I get that really young people are willing to live in shoeboxes in order to be close to All The Action, but holy damn it seems like that would get old fast.
