Great Starter 1BR in the East Village (Alphabet)
January 18, 2012
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.

Anyone who has spent even five minutes thinking about buying a house likely spends 3 days on sites like www.streeteasy.com perusing the market and for fleeting moments living out their pent-up dream house fantasies (“why yes I would a waterfall in the bedroom!”).

Quick Tip – Urban Gardening Meets Recycling
May 5, 2011
We’ve all see the wooden pallets lining the street outside of stores, waiting to be picked up by someone, ANYONE really. The other day, I almost grabbed one to use in my backyard as a trellis, but my girlfriend slapped my hand away as we had a trip coming up to the garden center and […]
