Listing of the Day: Parkchester Condo

2501 Saint Raymonds Ave, 2 Bedrooms - $174,000

This is a two bedroom apartment in Parkchester, which is often called a city within a city, and this is an apartment within that city within a city - got that straight? Well, in any case, what was once a hidden secret is starting to be discovered and gobbled up.

This particular apartment is an 840 square foot two bedroom at $174,000. The interior shots aren't stunning, but we're bargain hunting at this price point. Whatever the unit looks like, Parkchester itself is a pretty damn cool place to live for a reasonable amount of money.

Parkchester has tons of shopping, chief of which are its own Macy's and a Starbucks. There is also a decent amount of public space to hang at, including the ovals of the complex proper and a few fountains. And who doesn't like fountains? Should we also mention that Parkchester is going to have Verizon FiOs soon too? Well, it will.

Parkchester was built under the same idea as Stuy-Town and Peter Cooper Village in Manhattan, and has the same self-sufficient aura. Parkchester is a safe and family friendly hood with decent transportation via the 6 train and bus service. So if you're looking to own an apartment and have enough money to go out, or just need a place you can actually afford without roommates or a large inheritance or parental subsidy, check out this apartment and nabe.
