Ah, the Upper West Side — it’s one of the city’s most popular neighborhoods, and for good reason. Incredible park access, great restaurants, and beautiful architecture are just a few of its virtues. Manhattan Valley is the northernmost section of the UWS. It’s bordered on three sides by phenomenal green spaces: Central Park, Morningside Park, and Riverside Park. And this Manhattan Valley 1BR is a winner, for a fantastically winning price.
Best feature: Hello, location! Our Rental of the Week is just off West End Avenue, only one block from Riverside Park and the Hudson. Better yet, it’s set in a classic prewar building with a doorman, an elevator, and an elegant lobby. There’s a nice laundry room and bike storage, too — and we haven’t even entered the apartment yet!
This Manhattan Valley 1BR is equally great on the inside. The spacious corner bedroom, for example, boasts two big windows and two big closets to match. There’s another closet in the foyer entry, too, as well as a handy home-office space. In addition, the kitchen offers custom cabinetry and a dishwasher.
Why it’s a deal: Manhattan Valley is a submarket of the Upper West Side. The median asking rent here runs a fairly high $3,300, according to StreetEasy’s Data Dashboard. That puts our Rental of the Week at $1,200 per month below average for the area — wow.

Biggest drawback: This Manhattan Valley 1BR is on the second floor, so street noise might be a concern. In addition, the living room and bathroom windows seem to face a brick wall, so there might not be much natural light. (Luckily, the bedroom’s French door allows light from the street-facing window to flow through the entire space.)
