Co-living companies remove a lot of the friction involved in renting with roomies—the companies stock the pantry, clean the linen and provide a community. The Brick Underground Podcast considers the details of different co-living spaces, how they works and how the brands are defining themselves. We are also going to look at some of the legal issues that can arise from the co-living model.

This co-op, 308 East 79th St., #2F is in a prewar building at the upper edge of Lennox Hill and is offered at $595,000 which is below the current median sales price of $798,500 for similar-sized units in the neighborhood. That said, it is due for some upgrades, which will add to the price tag.

The Upper East Side is on buyers' radars. It also topped Brick Underground’s list of best neighborhoods for first-time buyers. The neighborhood has a sizable co-op inventory and pricing stability.

Three waterside facilities are discharging oil into Newtown Creek, further polluting the already toxic federal Superfund site and Bay Ridge could get its first historic district—the designation would protect 54 limestone Renaissance and Colonial Revival townhouses dubbed Doctor’s Row.

This one-bedroom unit, 389 East 89th St., #7G, is offered at $1,580,000 and although that's well above the median price of $740,000 for one bedrooms in the neighborhood, the unit is being offered with three years of paid common charges on contracts signed before June 30th, 2019.
