So, I went yesterday to look at a condo in Flushing. I'm looking to move out by the end of the year and to own a place. Was pretty disappointed with it - it was small (~675 sqft), and didn't make effective use of space. Not to mention, the only affordable unit was on the first floor, and the den had a giant window that was directly up next to the street. It was in a nice area (across from the park and a few minutes drive from the main shopping district), and had all new appliances, and the complex contained nice amenities (massage room, gym, game room), but I dunno.. looks like I'm gonna have to continue looking.
The main reason I'm looking in Queens is because the taxes are much cheaper compared to Nassau (like, $2-3000 compared to $7-8000). Any good advice for condo hunting? I'm actually not even too sure what I can afford and will be meeting with my financial advisor soon.
