The 234 Apartment

June Jacobs has been in the beauty and wellness business for over 30 years, and a New Yorker for more than 50. Jacobs is the creator of the June Jacobs Spa Collection , offered to guests in Grand Hyatt hotels and also found at spas, resorts, and in stores.  We caught up with June to talk about her Upper East Side neighborhood , her love of wraparound terraces , and why she craves a little bit of the old New York City and a little bit of the new. Is this your dream neighborhood, or is there someplace else in NYC you’d prefer to settle? I wouldn't say that it is my dream neighborhood, but it is by far the best neighborhood for me to live in. It’s very accessible to all of the parts of the city that I want to be near, and I don’t picture myself moving elsewhere. Do you own or rent? Rent. How’d you find it? One of my close friends was renting the apartment I live in now and I was always envious of it. She got engaged and was going to move in with her fiancé, so I knew it was going for...

ARTICLE OPTIONS Throughout his early 60s, Brad Buchner and his wife, Elizabeth, lived in the kind of house that many near-retirees dream of: a peaceful, manageable ranch- style property tucked in a quiet Poconos town surrounded by trees, lakes, and plentiful open space . Costing anywhere from $30,000 to $150,000, tiny homes designed by Escape Homes enable anyone to travel around the country in a single-family home. As it turns out, however, that’s exactly what Buchner and his wife don’t want as they think about the next years of their lives. Three years ago, the Buchners packed their things and headed to Philadelphia, settling down in a Center City rental . As if ditching their longtime rural digs weren ’t enough, the pair also abandoned spaciousness, swapping their three-bedroom, two-bathroom home for precisely 345 total square feet . The transition has meant parting ways with a fully finished basement and a home office, and adjusting to an ovenless kitchenette and two miniature...

NEW YORK – Aug. 22, 2017 – With all the talk about aging baby boomers and life- extending health care advances , it might be a bit bewildering deciding which seniors housing assets are best primed for success. Lee Everett, managing consultant at research firm CoStar Portfolio Strategy , might be able to provide some clarity. Two product types – active adult communities and continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs – will be the winners in the seniors housing race both in the short and the long term, Everett says. Everett and his CoStar colleagues are bullish about active adult communities , which are age-restricted developments that offer an independent lifestyle and relatively maintenance-free housing. Growth in this segment is "just around the corner," with more baby boomers getting older and seeking alternatives to traditional homes and apartments. "We're looking at a period where there's going to be a lot of fast and explosive growth in active a...
