An opportunity to live amongst New York’s elite on a budget
Last week, New York real estate blog 6sqft featured Manhattan’s cheapest penthouse. It’s surprisingly for sale for just £154,000 ($190,000, €180,000 or درهم698,000) and it is situated at 103 East 84th Street.

Though pets are welcome, you’d hardly want to house a Wolfhound here either: It consists of a living space measuring just 14’ by 13’10” and has the tiniest of kitchen spaces and a minute bathroom also.
Curiously the agents remark: “This apartment has been a host to many types of people in the past” whilst 6sqft add: “The current owner is a somewhat unconventional retired Catholic priest, which the faithful among you might consider a blessing”.
