Went to four open houses this weekend — one in my neighborhood and three in Park Slope.  It is somewhat appalling what a tiny amount of space seems to be the norm for my price range.  One apartment had an amazing roof deck that completely dwarfed the apartment itself.  The nicest apartment of the day was small as well, but in excellent shape.  After leaving I called to confirm the one oddity that I noticed — there was only one closet in the whole place.  The largest apartment I saw was in such disrepair that I would have had to spend plenty just to get it liveable, not to mention that the entire building seemed a little crooked, like it was leaning downhill on one side.  By the time I got home, my apartment felt absolutely palatial.  I’ll be packing in the apartment-viewing over the weeks to come.
