Q. I’m thinking of buying a new condo. What are the biggest construction quality problems these days? What should I worry about inside my apartment in terms of finishes, appliances, soundproofing, etc.? How can I keep from getting suckered?
A. Our experts agree that you’re wise to keep a sharp eye out for potential problems—starting with the windows.
Every NYC block is its own village, which is why it can be risky to slap a label of any kind on an entire neighborhood. AmNewYork tries it anyway in a recent round-up of slumber-friendly neighborhoods.
Just as a hearty assortment of restaurants that deliver is an important neighborhood amenity for apartment hunters to consider, the bodega/corner deli situation can also impact your day-to-day quality of life, especially if you're farther than a couple of blocks from a grocery or drug store or one of those fancy new hybrid Duane Reades.
So what makes a good bodega? Funny you should ask.
