Upper East Side

I'm crazy about the Upper East side. Hoping to stay in this area when we finally find an apartment. I'm not sure why I love this neighborhood so much. Perhaps it has something to do with all the cool architecture? The people here can be so-so, of course depending on which direction you go. I love Madison AVENUE. It's great for shopping - but 'some' of the people there can be a bit too snooooooty for my taste. Not that I dislike them or anything. No offense to those living on Madison AVE. - that's why I said 'some' people. 

Anyhow - every so often I frequent real estate sites & came across a gorgeous town home here on the Upper East side. You can actually check out all the details here on StreetEasy. Way beyond affordable in my world, but no ONE says I can't look & say "WOW".

Anyone else in LOVE with the East side of NYC? Or do you have another favorite area in NY you prefer?

Kelly Wearstler's Home for Sale......(Via Made By Girl)

Did you know that Designer Kelly Wearstler's Mansion is on the market??

I love how ShelterPop said it best...and I quote, "If you have $46 million dollars and love animal prints, this one's for you." Her mansion is situated in Beverly Hills, California (of course). She purchased the property with her husband about 5 years ago for ONLY $25 million , well not only....but now she's going to profit a good chunk of change. Good job Kelly! Below is a glimpse of Kelly's 11,000+ sq. foot home, enjoy!

The 'not so good' housing market

Although the real estate market seems to suck pretty bad here in Las Vegas, it doesn't seem to ever slow down in New York City. After looking at these pictures, I'm wondering why I'm not still there. Ok, I'm dreaming right now.... I know. But its very depressing to sellers here in Las Vegas (like myself) to not know when our market will pick up again and we'll FINALLY be able to sell our homes for a justifiable price. I own two homes here in Las Vegas and I would love to sell the one I'm renting!! But as I've mentioned, the market is sooo depressed I may have to sit still. So I guess the only thing to do for now, is wait and dream.....

*All images come from one of the coolest real estate sites about NYC. Stribling.
How's your housing market?  Is it as bad as Las Vegas??
