When perusing real estate listings, it's important not to get intimidated by the sticker prices. A closer look can show true bargains in the form of the price per square foot, and low maintenance costs and real estate taxes can take the sting out of a high listing price. The following apartments come in at surprisingly low listing prices for New York, and at a fraction of their neighborhood median price.
