4 of New York's Priciest Condos

Hunting for a condo in New York City has never been for the faint of heart. With some of the priciest real estate in the world, shopping for a new living space in NYC can present a financial challenge to all but a very select group of the extremely wealthy. However, even the wealthy need a little help in looking over the options.

Budgets for Billionaires
720 Park Avenue may not sound like a bargain hunter's neighborhood, but with an asking price of just $27,500,000, this condo would definitely qualify as one of the more affordable in the selection of top end NYC condos.

This is a 14 room condo built in 1929 by Rosario Candela. With 80 feet of frontage onto Park Avenue, the unit gets lots of light and offers a wonderful cityscape view. There is a 30-foot living room, three fireplaces, original plaster moldings and herringbone floors. All in all, a nice little spot for the budget conscious.

A River Runs By It
There is also a 7,687 square-foot condo on the 14th floor of the Superior Ink building, located at 400 W. 12th street,  that offers a panoramic views of the Hudson River and lower Manhattan.

Designed by Robert A. M. Stern and developed by renown Related Properties, this yet to be finished unit is listed at $35.75 million. With construction still underway, this would be a good time to suggest any special amenities you might have in mind.

A TriBeCa Treat
Yes, there really is something nice south of Columbus Circle, and it can be yours for somewhere in the neighborhood of $45 million. This is the penthouse at 145 Hudson and was designed by James Carpenter to look like a crystal box in the sky.

The 7,500 square-foot, four bedroom, four bathroom duplex features a large wraparound terrace, museum quality insulated glass, and walls that allow art work to avoid damage from the sun.

A Walk in the Park
If you're looking for something a little closer to the park though, there is a nice little place at 50 Central Park South, just above the Ritz-Carlton, which is listed for $77.5 million.

This is a nice unit with two-levels, featuring a 900 square-foot living room on the 31st floor and offers one of the nicest views of Central Park of any of the NYC condos available. At that price though, you'd better hurry.
