well since i'm a college kid i don't pay the bills but matt damon has the penthouse in my building and pays... get this... $24,000 a month
lol i thought he bought an apt... my friend used to live there before her parents got divorced.
I can't imagine that it makes sense to buy in NYC (the city, not the state in general).
I pay about 35% of my take home pay after taxes to rent a condo basically on central park (by columbus circle).
You can find decent deals to purchase in NYC but you have to think about the monthly maintenance costs. The unit I am renting has monthly maintenance right around $1,500 a month. Imagine adding that to your mortgage payment.
