Before embarking on a real estate search, it's smart to get an idea of what one's budget will be able to cover in various locations. This is an especially interesting exercise in New York, where the same amount that buys a one-bedroom in a cool new condo can buy a more spacious home in an older, less glamorous building. Below, we examine what $1,500,000 can get in 20 Manhattan and Brooklyn neighborhoods.
