$522K vs $545K comparison

It's amazing how you can be 5 blocks away and for only $23K more, you can get 550 more square feet, an extra bedroom and pay less in common charges. Is it because this Park Place apartment is in a more 'prime' area of Prospect Heights, while the Washington Condos are on the fringe? Well, I'll take the fringe any day, taking into account the extra 550 sq ft for a few thousand bucks more.

This Park Pl apt that was sold tops out at $564/sq ft. The Washington Condo? $370/sq ft.

NB: early Monday note: I went to the open house for the Park Place apt. Check my notes here.
