Our ears are buzzing. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a website where people volunteered information about their buildings and their rents (like that parking space website a few years back)? Perhaps it already exists, but we thought people might like to know that, according to one reader, Chelsea is not over yet:
My building in upper chelsea has 800sf 1 bedrooms going for around $2000 a month, and 550sf studios from 1400-1800. Many of the apartmeents have great views, concrete or wood floors, and some have 12ft ceilings. I like the building so much i just bought a place in it.
You don't have to live in the boonies to get a deal; just on the fringes of other neighborhoods.
These are not spacious, but remember: Location, location, location. (Thanks, Doug!) MGR

well, where is this irresistible apt. building?
550sf studios from 1400-1800.
Guess thats why I'm still in Downtown Jersey City, just 18 min away, paying 925 for a one bedroom w/ a dishwasher and laundry on each floor. But I do LOVE Chelsea.
i agree with sarah, who cares how good the deals are if we dont know where it is??
I'm a few blocks north of the natural history museum, about 150 feet off central park west.
paying $1400 for a first floor studio.
boring nightlife, but a truly beautiful neighborhood.
