We kick off our tour of Lower East Side rentals in a prime spot where the area meets the East Village. With two hot neighborhoods in one, this 1-bedroom will not cramp your style! It offers high ceilings, hardwood floors, and a windowed kitchen. Plus, the double-windowed bedroom fits a king-size bed. Melinda Sicari and her team at Douglas Elliman are the leasing agents.

Two Bridges extends the Lower East Side below Chinatown to the Financial District. New development and revitalized rental buildings are giving the neighborhood new cachet. This 1-bedroom in a recently renovated building boasts hardwoods, exposed brick, and a shiny new kitchen with dishwasher. Plus, there’s an in-unit washer/dryer! Mihal Gartenberg at Warburg is the listing agent.

StreetEasy shoppers are all over this impressive studio. It’s a 500-square-foot corner unit at the Seward Park Housing Cooperative, and it lives large. There’s a foyer entry, three closets, and even room for a little home office. The separate kitchen boasts an eat-in counter and a dishwasher. And that sunny windowed corner makes for a great reading nook. Jacob Goldman at LoHo Realty is the leasing agent.

Feel right at home in our next Lower East Side rental, a cozy 1-bedroom overlooking Orchard Street. The living room’s decorative brick fireplace sets a soothing tone. Storage makes it easy to stay organized, with lots of kitchen cabinets and double closets in the bedroom. And it’s close to neighborhood favorites like Katz’s and Russ & Daughters. Moran Khousravi and her team at Bond New York are the listing agents.

We end our Lower East Side rental tour back in Two Bridges. Demand here is demonstrated by this gleaming 1-bedroom: More than 230 StreetEasy shoppers call it a favorite. Other than the charming exposed brick, everything is new. That includes hardwoods, moldings, and a brand-new kitchen with dishwasher. And the $2,200 rent is easy on the budget! David Cohen at BH Brokerage is the listing agent.
