Real Estate in Literature

[kelber at mindspring.com]

Interesting essay.  I'm surprised this book wasn't mentioned:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Hazard_of_New_Fortunes

It has a great description of the difficulties of (middle-class) apartment hunting in late 19th century NYC, that holds true to this very day.
