My favorite apartment ever belonged to a friend of mine in Brooklyn. It had to have been — at most — 550 square feet, but it was decorated in such a clean, modern way and laid out perfectly. You felt like you were in an actual studio of some sort, with a really trendy and hip artist at the helm.
On the other hand, an employee of mine just signed a lease for a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment. The building is 1986’s finest construction and looks like it hasn’t had a dollar invested since then. It includes precisely zero amenities. The nearest real city is 109 miles away. Price? $2,605 monthly.
