My new apartment, version 1

It's version 1 because this is very much the "piles of stuff" edition.

New living room. What's missing? A bed! That's right, I now have an entirely separate bedroom.

The old place looks kind of lonely though. 

Goodbye treehouse balcony. You were a great place to sit and read.

The gorgeous sunset last week. This is from the old place but the new one has almost the same view.
Don't worry, my new apartment has a balcony too. It's doesn't have as many tree branches right outside (more open air vibe than treehouse) but it's got plenty of space for the lounge chair and a great view.

PS. What am I supposed to call a co-op unit in a multistory building? House doesn't work because I think of that as a single-family house with it's own roof. Home is fine but not very informative. It's not technically a condo because the co-op is a different ownership form, but I think people are familiar with condo for a walls-in type of ownership. Anyway I bought a co-op unit in the highrise building at River Park and now I'm going to live here.

Congrats on the purchase and move!
Often people will say "My apartment" here, whether it's a condo, co-op or rental.
Usually the fun surprise is when you visit and they have features that usually only owners have (think: surprise washer/dryer, or a nicely remodels kitchen).

New York is weird. :-p
