Prices range from $75,000 for a one-bedroom apartment up to $275,000 for a nine-room duplex-plus maintenance charges of as much as $2,000 a month. A U.N. Plaza apartment can be a profitable investment; a three-bedroom suite that cost $65,000 in 1966 was sold two years later for $155,000-a profit...
