Was that a townhouse? Walkup? I've seen those types of houses around UES but I don't know what they are calledI'm currently searching for my own apartment now and would like to live in such a buildingI'd like to find an apartment in that type of building but I don't know what type of building it's calledthanks!
There are so many moving companies in JapanIt's difficult to choose one for youThe cost and everything else depends on your needs like budget, how wide your current room is, how far your moving is, etc.
Often they are called brownstones, especially the ones that have a brown stone facadeMany have limestone or brock facades; the more general term would be townhouseSome on the Upper East Side are still single family houses; if you were to purchase one, they probably start at about $6 million and go up into the 20 millions and moreThe great majority have been carved up into apartmentsThe nicest would be floor throughs; you could probably rent something like this for a minimum of about $4,000 per month, whether in the Village, the Upper West Side, or other neighborhoods which still has a good stock of this kind of housingYou might be able to find one where the building has been carved into even smaller units - ie, 2 per floorYou might find a studio in this case for $2,000 or easily moreAlso, although brownstones do not have elevators they are not called walk upsThat term tends to be used for 5 or 6 story buildings that in the past may have been tenement housing but are now renovated apartments.
Hikkoshi no sakai is the only one that comes to mind, but as for cost, I really don't know.
