Here at One Block Over, we’re usually hunting for good deals on housing in New York City. Sometimes, though, we all just want to window-shop. To help with that, here are five of the most gorgeous apartments now available for rent on StreetEasy. None are cheap, but all are a feast for the eyes — at least we think so. So browse away, or check out more NYC apartments for rent.

Yes, that wall of windows and the cast-iron facades outside mean we’re starting in SoHo, in a gorgeous building on West Broadway. This floor-through unit has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and, as the pictures show, plenty of slick space for living large. The privilege of doing so will run you $8,000 a month, alas.
This is the view from a corner 1-bedroom unit now available on the 17th floor of the Royale, a white-glove condo building on East 64th Street in Lenox Hill. The apartment’s interior is none too shabby, either, with huge windows and a marble bathroom. But we wouldn’t blame you for spending most of your time on the balcony of this $4,000 pad.
If you like private roof decks and don’t mind stairs, this Chelsea 1-bedroom could be the place of your dreams. The top-floor unit in a unassuming building on 14th Street has been rehabbed into a stylish retreat in the sky. We’re talking high-end appliances, dark wood floors, and a even a nifty spiral staircase up to the spacious, private roof. The landlord is now offering one month free on a one-year lease, with a gross rent of $4,400.
Here is an apartment that manages to be both beautiful and practical. We won’t call a $4,033-per-month apartment “affordable,” but this 2-bed, 2-bath Park Slope unit seems to have enough features — floor-to-ceiling windows, a washer and dryer in-unit, a doorman — to justify its price. Especially when you consider how nice it looks.
