What you’ll get across NYC for $250,000
Hitting the NYC sales market with a $250,000 budget? Believe it or not you'll find something in every borough (yes, even Manhattan). Most of the apartments available in the city this week are one-bedroom co-ops like the one above, but as you head into the outer boroughs, you’ll find some two-bedrooms and even a five-bedroom house (!).
