Factors to consider
As a foreign emissary, there are several factors to consider when searching for housing in New York City. Location is paramount, but understanding property types is equally imperative.
Manhattan cooperatives are practically off limits to many diplomat buyers because of board approval requirements. Condominiums and townhouses may offer more flexibility.
Types of properties
Understanding whether to pursue a co-op, condo, or townhouse shapes your entire search. LEVEN advisors walk clients through the tradeoffs with honest, experience-backed guidance.
