Interesting prices since many of Penn's employees who'd want to use this 
couldn't get the money Penn gives because it's so much.  Only 19/34 are 
purchasable under Penn's mortgage programs.

Hmmm,

The prices seemed rather high to me, too, particularly since it's a condo, and 
you have to pay maintenance plus mortgage, plus you have to abide by the 
condo owners association rules. It seems that, for this neighborhood, the high 
price outweighs the cost of convenience factors. Is Penn expecting a bunch of 
new medical school hires to move into these units? Certainly an efficiency 
for 
$270,000 is excessive - that's Manhattan pricing.

What do the rest of you think? Are these maybe asking prices, to be lowered 
once real buyers come along??

Certainly an efficiency for $270,000 is excessive - that's Manhattan 
pricing -- I don't think so, based on my weekly review of the NY Time's Real
