We head to Upper Manhattan for our next NYC apartment for $1600, a gut-renovated studio just outside beautiful Fort Tryon Park. The unit, set in an elevator building with laundry, features shiny hardwood floors and a big walk-in closet. But the real star is the brand-new kitchen, with granite counters and stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher. Two weeks free on a 12-month lease brings the net-effective rent down to $1533. Listed by Evan Osur at Living New York.
A bit further downtown we find this sweet perch on desirable West End Avenue. It’s one of only 16 units in a compelling, castle-like 1918 building.
