They're co-ops. You own shares in the corporation for your specific unit and are given a 99 year lease. Super common up in places like New York.

If an apartment on Park ave is going for under 600k, you need to buy it immediately

Yes, I work in the mortgage industry and high rises always have huge HOA and CoOps make them even higher. I rarely see CoOps outside of NY but it’s super common in the city

Condo HOA dues are generally calculated by SF of the unit.
$ 6,975 / month for a 1400 SF is $5.00/SF - - insane.

The highend condos in BR (Crescent, Perkins Rowe…) HOA dues are in the 50 cent/SF range or approx $700/month

This is common. The HOA owns the property. The "buyer" is really just renting.

That has to be a typo. A 1400 sq ft condo in Manhattan easily goes for $1.2 - $1.5 million.

Probably because NYC has one of the most powerful economies in the world. If NYC got hit by a meteor, our country would collapse.

Here I am thinking the "typo" is that they added an extra zero

and all the comments say the "typo" is that they didn't add enough zero's

Is Park Place a high-end condo?

It's a co-op. Pretty common up there. You don't own the actual property. You own stock in the company that owns it.

It is not uncommon to see these low price/high maintenance cost for pied a terres in NYC. It’s likely 100% cash purchase as well and your finances as well as every aspect of your life will be evaluated to let you become an owner in the co-op. It’s less about being able to afford the unit than does the co-op want you in their club.

Many condos in established building still require 40% or 60% down payment. Financing/buying a home in NyC is different animal.

The only co-op in NOLA that I know of is the building on the west side of the Columns.

Aren't HOA fees not tax-deductible? Would suck to pay $7000/month and not be able to write it off.

This is in the Beekman. The building is basically run like a hotel. Valet, concierge, housekeeping, gym, etc etc. That’s why the HOA is so high.


So what does the OT think annual gratuities for the staff?

HOA dues would be more than the mortgage payment. No way that’s right
