Would-be New York buyers planning to make a daunting down payment can find any number of articles with advice on achieving this goal. However, the down payment is just the beginning. Not only will there be mortgage payments, but real estate taxes and monthly maintenance (for co-ops) or common charges (for condos) must be factored into the equation...and can add up rather quickly.

This sounds scary, but it's not entirely hopeless. The city has several programs in place that can give homeowners a property tax reduction, which will in turn allow them to save hundreds of dollars a year. The following condos all over New York offer tax abatements on top of high-end finishes and luxurious amenities.
