What you’ll get across NYC for $350,000
While $350,000 isn’t the biggest budget to be armed with for this NYC real estate market, there are quite a few Manhattan and Brooklyn studios for anyone who’s just starting out on their own, or doesn’t need much space. Queens offers more space—no surprise—and there’s even an investment-only property in Staten Island that could yield over $36,000 a year.
