Priced out of NYC? These are the best commuter suburbs, according to real estate experts

By
Since the pandemic, it’s become increasingly expensive to put down roots in New York City. According to data from CityRealty, condo prices are the highest they've ever been, increasing 16 percent since July 2020, while co-ops have jumped 6.4 percent over the same period. Many people are even being priced out of rentals; Douglas Elliman's Jonathan Miller reported earlier this year that the average monthly rent in New York City is now roughly $5,194—more than a mortgage payment in many places. And it’s this financial conundrum that often becomes the impetus for many young professionals and families to relocate to the suburbs. They can get more space and a yard, access to beaches and hiking trails, and send their kids to public schools without a second thought. But what’s the best place to achieve this small-town fantasy? For that answer, we turned to the pros. Ahead, hear from real estate experts about the best commuter suburbs outside New York City.

By
In addition to being a visual standout as a peerless architectural creation, the four-story townhouse at 344 West 22nd Street has many distinctions. As the longtime home of New York City gallerist Barbara Gladstone, who died last year aged 89, the historic Greek Revival rowhouse has showcased work by some of the world's most celebrated contemporary artists, including Andy Warhol, Rudolf Stingel, and Richard Prince, within its walls, according to the New York Times. Its most recent entry into the 21st century was a stunning renovation designed around a sculptural spiral stair, the work of noted architect (and Gladstone's friend and client) Annabelle Selldorf. Asking $11,995,000, the home's luxury finishes and conveniences like a private elevator seem almost a quiet afterthought, though they add significantly to daily living.

For $3.75M, this ‘secret’ 1850s carriage house is hidden away in a private courtyard just blocks from Times Square

By
The 1850s carriage house co-op at 422 West 46th Street, known as The Carriage House at Clinton Court, is one of New York City's enchanting secrets, hidden in plain sight–in this case, literally blocks from Times Square. The building's lower floors, where you'll find this duplex unit asking $3,750,000, were once home to horses and carts between their rounds delivering milk to local residents. From the street, through the narrow sliver that was the original horse passage, enter a mid-block courtyard that feels more like the French Quarter in New Orleans than Midtown Manhattan. What's more, according to Untapped Cities, the property isn't merely enchanting–it's haunted.
