Lumber Yard Condominium via Compass
It would seem that there's always a trade-off in New York City. Condos and co-ops provide incredible convenience with central locations and often many amenities under one roof, but this can mean sacrificing space and privacy. Townhouses offer both in spades, but at a significant price in terms of finances, maintenance, and responsibility.
Fortunately, there is a middle ground: Duplex apartments allow New York households extra room to spread out, and even private outdoor space for some lucky residences. And while this may sound like an unaffordable luxury, none of the following listings are priced above $2.5 million.
