Neighborhood Little Italy
Borough Manhattan

We bump up just a hair over $2800 for our next apartment. But we think it’s worth it, for three reasons. One is a month free, which brings the net-effective rent down to $2631. More important is two: location! This is the heart of Little Italy, a neighborhood that’s just flat-out fun. And finally, three: A 2-bedroom in downtown Manhattan for this price is a rarity. And as a bonus, there’s also a new kitchen with dishwasher! Brian Stern at Bond New York is the listing agent.
