More Than One Butter-Yellow Bathroom
 

This week, we’re looking for reasons to forgive the unforgivable (we’re talking about pricing, of course). There’s a $7,500 two-bedroom in Park Slope (but windows everywhere!), a $5,000 one-bedroom in Brooklyn Heights (but behold that parquet!), and a $4,800 one-bedroom in Bed-Stuy (but the stainless-steel countertops!) To offset the painful pricing, I found a truly perfect $3,200 attic apartment in Jackson Heights and two butter-yellow bathrooms.
