Back at the beginning of the summer,
The Wall Street Journal noted that three-bedroom apartments in 2 Cooper Square were going for $20,000 a month, which would make these
the most most expensive apartments in the neighborhood.... not true, seeing as there
was a $25,000-a-month penthouse around the corner on First Street...
Speaking of First Street... somehow, this three-bedroom apartment at 38 E. First St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue escaped my expensive home radar... It first hit the market in September... and
it remains on the market for $30,000 a month...
I'm trying to figure out if this is the most expensive monthly rental
ever in the neighborhood... If you have any info to support this, please let me know...
Uh, anyway, what exactly do you get for that kind of money every month?
