This week, readers visited Brick Underground for a guide to the best New York City neighborhoods to invest in this year. With most buyers sitting out the market because of Covid-19, now is a good time for investment buyers to scoop up properties.

Also of interest: The story of a Queens couple that lost their jobs. They are breaking their lease, selling their furniture, and moving to Florida because of the pandemic. They see little future for themselves in NYC now, so they're moving for cheaper rent, more space, and to be close to family.
