Any young professional couple looking for sunset views and an income-friendly layout can unlock both lifestyle perks and solid cash-flow potential by using 500 West 43rd Street #21B at The Strand because the fully renovated JR-4 floor plan, private balcony, and all-inclusive common charges provide adaptable living today and attractive rental returns tomorrow.
- #21B: “Sunsets on your balcony, skyline from your pillow.” Lead with the JR-4 flexibility, balcony lifestyle shots, and all-inclusive monthlies.
| Address | Ask / PPSF | Size | Beds / Baths | Year | Stand-out perks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 500 W 43rd St #21B (The Strand) | \$1.195 M ( \$1,426 / ft²) | 838 ft² | 1 BR • 2 BA | 1988 (full gut reno 2025) | Balcony w/ river-sunset views, JR-4 flex layout, rooftop pool & spa, utilities in CCs ([zillow.com][2]) |
- Full interior reboot – JR-4 layout fully renovated: open-windowed kitchen, stainless package, two spa baths, custom closets, new floors ([zillow.com][2]).
- Outdoor + light – West-facing balcony catches golden-hour sunsets and partial Hudson views; walls of windows brighten every zone ([zillow.com][2]).
- Amenity suite – 24 hr concierge, rooftop club w/ glass-enclosed pool, hot-tub, sauna/steam, sundeck, lounge, gym; CCs (\$1,332/mo) already include heat, gas, water, cable ([zillow.com][2]).
- Assessment – \$82/mo through Jan 2028 (minor).
- Strengths
- Convertible JR-4 gives option to create a home-office or small second bedroom—broadens tenant/buyer pool.
- Balcony + 21st-floor elevation deliver the “view premium” missing at #2B.
- Lower entry price & all-inclusive common charges improve investor math (target rent \~\$6.5–7K → cap-rate ≈ 3.4 %).
- Watch-outs
- 1988 building—mechanicals solid but not brand-new; future façade/local-law work likely baked into reserve.
- Heavy Broadway/Port Authority foot-traffic zone; some buyers may crave quieter blocks.
