This one-bedroom condo, 308 West 30th St., #8A, on the upper edge of Chelsea, is offered at $849,000, which is below the current median sales price of $1,050,000 for similar sized units in the neighborhood. At 571 square feet, the unit isn't exactly spacious but it does have plenty to recommend it, including some additional space off the living room which could work as a dining area, home office or possibly a second bedroom.

In this episode of The Brick Underground Podcast, we take a look at what happens when your NYC neighborhood gets rezoned.

With its sprawling green spaces like Wave Hill Gardens, and Seton Park, Riverdale can feel somehow removed from New York City but if you can handle the commute, this two bedroom apartment, 3840 Greystone Avenue #4L, is being offered at $330,000 which is significantly below the current median sales price of $420,000 for two-bedroom units in the neighborhood.

Starting at around a few thousand dollars for a couple, you can rent seasonal access to the beach along with somewhere to store your beach gear, plus you get easy beach parking, a shower and depending on your budget; chairs, umbrellas, a cabana fitted with electricity and the service of staff.

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.
