    New Development: 270 Greene Ave

    Posted on August 29, 2010 | No Comments
    We weren’t expecting much from 270 Greene Ave. We had actually gone there the past weekend but missed the open house by 15 minutes. We did however get an eyeful of its cinder block exterior and surroundings. The abandoned liquor store on the corner, overgrown...

    When thinking over what kind of apartment we wanted to buy in NYC invariably coops were discussed. We quickly dismissed them since neither of us were interested in running through the gauntlet of the board. Yet, we couldn’t help but notice some of the great...
