Is Palermo right for you?

Palermo suits buyers who would rather live in a smaller, lower-key building than a high-rise, the kind of place where neighbors get to know each other.

For anyone who wants restaurants, coffee and nightlife within a few blocks, the location is hard to beat.

What to weigh before you buy
