I remember quite a few years ago looking at an apartment in WP. I know several people who live there and really like it. It is NOT Art Deco, but beautiful in its own right. I love passing and seeing the interior garden and water feature. It's a little oasis. It sure is close to the subway. You would certainly "NOT" see a city view from all floors and streets. This is true anywhere. If you go to LIC, they show spectacular waterfront views, but not every apartment has that. When they do, you can bet they are paying a premium for it. In WP, the fact remains that there are several apartments where the view of the Manhattan skyline is really great. Interior renderings are just that. They are renderings and so personal taste accounts for the pictures they are presenting. The apartment is the canvass and you can decorate as much or as little as you'd like. I had always thought that this was already a coop. Did they attempt a conversion before? Whatever the case, you'd be hard lucked to find an apartment with such square footage at a lower price and it is not out of line with what apartments are going for especially when one considers pricing in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Yes they are expensive. Yes, it is all an exaggeration, but that would be true in almost any conversion or "sale" as the object is to sell.
