Imagine you have around $600,000 to spend on an apartment and you've narrowed it down to two co-ops in the same neighborhood. How do you make up your mind? The answer is simple: you shove them into a metaphorical cage and let them battle it out until one emerges victorious. It's time for Real Estate Deathmatch.
| Address | 96 Schermerhorn Street #3E | 122 Ashland Place #7B |
| Price | $599,000 | $510,000 |
| Maintenance | $1,095 | $1,100 |
| Square Footage | 900 | 900 |
| Beds, Baths | 2, 1 | 2, 2 |
| Floor | 3 | 7 |
It's fairly safe to say that 96 Schermerhorn Street is the nicer looking of these two apartments. Its ceilings are much higher, its windows are much larger, and it's got a very cool spiral staircase leading to the sleeping loft. That sleeping loft may be the problem, though, because a sleeping loft isn't really a second bedroom. 122 Ashland Place, a.k.a. University Towers, has a real second bedroom. And, possibly even more importantly, it has a second bathroom. It's also $90,000 cheaper.
