Combined HHI for us is 320k we have a 1BR for 2500/ month

What part of town

Our HHI was about 400k when we moved into a 3900 2BR/2Ba last summer. HHI is up by about 100k thanks to usual class year bump + crazy bonuses in biglaw this year and we negotiated to lower our rent by 400 so our rent is now 3500.

Sorry meant 2BR/1.5Ba. it's a midtown condo, owner seems chill. Doorman/elevator/laundry in building but no other fancy amenities.

Oh utilities are included too (except internet). It's a pretty good deal.
