In the $5 million to $8 million price range you’ll find truly incredible multi-bedroom apartments that have earned the luxury title for good reason. It’s common practice for real estate brokers and observers to reserve the term ‘luxury condo’ for units priced above the $5 million threshold, and even a cursory glance at these luxury condos for sale in Manhattan will show you why. These apartments are predominantly found in brand new luxury condominium buildings that were specifically designed to attract families who wanted to stay in the city as opposed to moving to the suburbs, so they went to great lengths to provide everything a Manhattan apartment buyer could want. Quite simply, you’ll find very few apartments like these anywhere else in the city, the country, or the world.
