Set in the heart of the Upper East Side, The Forum is a cooperative building known for having condominium bylaws and very flexible subletting rules. Amenities include a full-time doorman, private 24-hour fitness facility, garage, rooftop deck, sauna, and steam room. 10% financing, pieds-a-terre, and pets allowed. The building is surrounded by restaurants, cafes, grocery stores, and shops, and is just a few blocks away from the newly opened Q subway line.

Financial Note: This building has a long-term ground lease. Thus, the purchase price (and cash needed to close and mortgage amount) is lower than the condo competition, but the monthly maintenance is a bit higher. The desirability of this arrangement depends on the buyer's financial style. Some buyers prefer the lower upfront cash requirement and will accept a higher monthly; other buyers prefer to spend more cash upfront in exchange for a lower monthly. This is a buyer's choice.
