One thing should be for sure — God willing, you won’t be complaining to the community board about your noisy neighbors<\/a>:<\/p>\n

New Yorkers with a zest for life — and $1 million to spend — are dying to move into a luxury condo building with a killer view of Green-Wood Cemetery and its 560,000 permanent residents.<\/p>\n

About a third of the condos at the ritzy “Simone” in Windsor Terrace overlook the cemetery and some of its famous graves — artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, editor Horace Greeley and political titan William (Boss) Tweed.<\/p>\n

“A lot of people haven’t said anything about the cemetery,” said Corcoran sales associate Andrew Booth. “Or they say they like it because they know nothing will ever be built on it.”<\/p>\n

Booth said 19 of the building’s 35 condos are in contract — at prices ranging from $275,000 to $999,000 — and buyers can expect to move in by early next year.<\/p>\n

. . .<\/p>\n

Brooklyn residents yesterday seemed to envy their new neighbors’ graveyard views, but some were deadly serious about the once-blue collar area’s skyrocketing housing prices.<\/p>\n

“I can’t see paying that much anywhere, never mind next to a cemetery,” said Lang Price, 54, an attorney who lives nearby.<\/p>\n

“But that’s what the market has done to real estate in this city. People will pay anything to live anywhere.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
