No-Fee Apartment of the Week: $5,500 two-bedroom condo on the Upper West Side

By Lucy Cohen Blatter | July 13, 2012 - 2:28PM

This 1,250-square-foot $5,500 two-bedroom condo at 243 West 98th Street, between West End and Broadway, is the stuff no-fee dreams are made of (at least for those who can afford it).

There's an open house this Sunday.

Pros: The apartment has been gut renovated and has condo-style finishes (and a washer-dryer). And look at that kitchen!

Cons: Some people might prefer not to rent a condo, in case the landlord decides to up and sell the place when your lease is up. Also, the photos suggest this apartment is a little short on natural light.
