Is renting an apartment the most economical and frugal way to live in New York City or its surrounding areas? Much of the population believes this to be so. Of these, very few are aware of condominium ownership benefits in Manhattan, Queens, and New York City's other boroughs.

One thing I have found in looking for luxury condominiums is that there isn't much "luxury" in condominiums at all. I have seen a select few, and although they're touted as a short distance from Manhattan, it was too much of a commute for a person working in the city. Even that, the surrounding neighborhood did not have much by way of entertainment or restaurants for a social life whatsoever. Looking for a condominium can be a choice that is not made right away. Research and checking into your investment is something you do and that means being let down by potential places.
