Hey Ho, Let’s Go … to Forest Hills This 853-square-foot co-op on 67th Road in Forest Hills (hometown of the Ramones) used to be listed for $20,000 more. But after only a few weeks on the market, the asking price has been hacked down to $259,000, according to Streeteasy.com. It sounds like the owners are motivated, which could mean even more wiggle room for you. All the crucial renovations kitchen and bath have been taken care of, and the unit comes with storage that rents for just $47 a month. (There’s parking, but you’ll have to get on a wait list to nab a spot.) At $410, the monthly maintenance is low, too. S. Jhoanna Robledo
