Imagine you have around $750,000 to spend on a place and you've narrowed it down to two apartments 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: | 182 Saint Marks Avenue #3/ | 535 Dean Street #412 |
| Price: | $740,000 | $695,000 |
| Monthly Costs: | $826 | $937 |
| Square Footage: | 1,200 | 1,200 |
| Beds, Baths | 3, 1 | 1-ish, 1 |
? The more conventional of the two apartments, 182 Saint Marks Avenue is a three-bedroom prewar co-op with a marble-mantled fireplace, a bay window, and some very nice wood doorframes and window treatments. Just a classy place all around. As the brokerbabble puts it, "This gorgeous home has abundant to brag about!" Okay, now it's ruined.
? A slightly cheaper, significantly less partitioned 1,200-square-foot apartment is up for grabs in Newswalk Phase 3 (a condo building with actual amenities, if that's something you're interested in.) The wide-open loft features 12-foot ceilings and enormous windows. One downside: a truly unattractive facade.
