The following are the co-op buildings we've surveyed.

Please note that this list is far from comprehensive. In fact, a very large proportion of buildings in Manhattan (and practically all prewar buildings) belongs to this category.

NOTES

Buying a co-op is different from buying a condo in several respects:

  • Most buildings are older
  • Most co-op apartments are cheaper than comparable condos
  • Maintenance fees, on the other hand, tend to be higher than in comparable condo buildings
  • Technically, you don't own your apartment, you own shares in the building. The number of shares is usually determined by square footage.
  • Most things (starting with getting admitted into the building) require board approval. Co-ops tend to be restrictive with allowing renovations, especially those that are considered disruptive to neighbors.
  • For the same reason, renting out your co-op apartment may be difficult. It all depends on the co-op board.
Renting in a co-op is also a possibility, but you might have to be approved by the co-op board first, which may be quite a process. Again, it all depends on the board!
