Here we go again. Experts are once again predicting that the Federal Reserve will soon raise interest rates.

Still missing The Sopranos? This waterfront Fort Lee, New Jersey mansion will help you channel Tony—or inner real housewife of New Jersey, for that matter. The house, which will hit the auction block on December 8 with a minimum price of $5.5 million, has views of Manhattan and sits on a bucolic, secluded 1.3 acres. The driveway alone is impressive.

We love to peruse multi-million dollar, all-glass apartments as much as the next guy, but we also appreciate condos that aren't designed just for the one-percent. And this two-bedroom one-and-a-half bath feels like something of a steal at $779,000 (monthlies are less than $500, not including mortgage payments).

This 2,100 one-bedroom in Sunnyside has pretty prewar details like hardwood floors, built-in shelving, and arched doorways. It's on the fifth floor of an elevator building with laundry facilities, a bike room and a live-in super. 

And, according to the listing, it's got Manhattan views from two windows. It's also only a couple of blocks from the 7 train, which will get you into Manhattan in about 20 minutes.
