Yesterday I took my piece of the New York City real estate pie. I put a chunky down payment on a new construction, one bedroom condo at the Toren in Downtown Brooklyn.
I’ve lived in this borough eight years. My fiancee Jason has lived here three years. He’s one of those Manhattan transplants who begrudgingly moves here and then doesn’t look back.
I know a one bedroom isn’t big but it’s a step up from the studio apartment we are living in now. And well, by New York City standards, it sort of is big. To own a piece of property in this big city is, let’s face it, big!
I hope we made the right move. I think we did. We love this borough. We love new construction and well, we love each other. The sum of all these things should add up to a happy home to come! Feeling very excited right now!
