Crown Heights has a lot of new residential development these days, with the completion of several ground up and newly renovated buildings. And prices there are lower than in neighboring Prospect Heights, a popular neighborhood that like Crown Heights hugs part of Prospect Park.

Here's what New Yorkers need to know before moving to Weehawken, New Jersey.

This Midtown studio has lots to recommend it, including a recent renovation, a high-end kitchen, space-saving Murphy bed, a built-in media center, and a separate dressing area.

Here's what architect S. Lindsay Klein would do to renovate this Sutton Place one bedroom. She explains exactly how she’d add a more high-end feel, including installing in-unit laundry, putting a breakfast bar in the kitchen, and reworking the closets to make them more user-friendly.

In the last decade, Jersey City has experienced a development boom that’s given rise to new condo and rental buildings (most of which are more affordable than what you find in Manhattan), as well as new restaurants, bars, and shopping, making it an attractive option for New Yorkers looking to trade up, and those who couldn’t afford to live in NYC to begin with.

A separate sleeping area and a recent $18,000 price drop are the biggest pros of this Sutton Place studio.
