Corcoran Co-worker Zahra Joudi’s new exclusive in Alphabet City would make a great first 1BR in NYC.  The area continues to appreciate as more services move into the area, something that stalled for a bit during the recent downturn.  As a former resdent of the area, I greatly approve of the Alphabet (I, Grant, lived on […]
