Lofts don't quite have the same vibe without an elevator that opens directly onto the space, and this $2.7 million full-floor Tribeca condo's got one. 

The two-bedroom, two-bath, in a boutique four-unit building at 88 Chambers Street, has 12-foot ceilings (in typical Tribeca loft style) and a large living room/dining area with recessed lighting and four large windows. 

There's nothing quite like coming home to a clean apartment after a long day of work. Especially when you had nothing to do with said cleaning. 

While hiring a cleaning person (whether it's a one-off service or a single person who comes on a regular basis) is certainly a luxury, it's one that many New Yorkers do rely on. But there are some tricky issues that can arise in the process. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions, and answers.

This $3,000 corner two-bedroom in Hudson Heights (the western part of Washington Heights) has prewar features, like a sunken living room and pretty decent closet space.

While the listing claims it's a two-and-a-half bedroom, we think that's pushing it. It looks more like a two-bedroom with a dining area to us. We suppose you could wall that off, but the apartment would be more enjoyable (and spacious) as a true two-bedroom.

What makes a good suburb? According to Business Insider's ranking of the 50 best suburbs in America, it's a combination of decent commute times, low crime rates, affordable housing and good schools. We'd have to agree.
