If Williamsburg is the neighborhood that makes you feel like home, then it is time to look at the real estate. Take a close look at the samples below. The higher priced ones are on the waterfront with the great views. Compare the prices of the condos and co ops. You can get a larger co op for the same as you would pay for a smaller condo, basically because with a condo you actually own the apartment and can make renovations, while with a co op, you do not own the unit, you own shares in the corporation. This is where you have to decide what is important to you. And of course a lot depends on your budget. If you need more room, but the condos in your price range are small, then the co op is the right choice for you. If space is not an issue, the condo would be the best choice, based on the re sale value. Of course, you also have to consider your personal taste. It does sound complicated, but when you walk into the one place that is meant to be your next home, you will know it.
