East Village rentals don’t get much huger than this top-floor 4-bedroom beauty! Yes, it’s a walkup, but look what you get in return for a little stair-climbing: skylights, a dishwasher, and an in-unit washer/dryer, for starters. On top of that, there’s a gorgeous spiral staircase leading up to one of NYC’s top holy grails: a spacious private roof terrace! Listed by Sandra Makarchuk of GZB Realty.

The Niko is a new luxury building just off Avenue D, with easy access to East River Park and the diverse eateries of Alphabet City. This high-floor 2BR is flooded with light thanks to oversize windows. Other impressive features include white oak flooring, a dishwasher, in-unit laundry, and two big walk-in closets. The building also has a fabulous shared roof deck. Listed by the Niko Leasing Team at C&C Apartment Management.

Old meets new in this appealing 2BR unit. There’s lots of exposed brick for atmosphere and a glamorous new marble and stainless steel kitchen. Besides a dishwasher and in-unit laundry, it also boasts two queen-size bedrooms on opposite ends of the apartment for privacy. What more could roommates ask for?

Not only is this 1BR super-spacious, it also has oversized windows throughout that keep the brick-heavy interior feeling bright and airy. The fully equipped, L-shaped kitchen is a showstopper, and the bathroom houses a stackable washer/dryer. The walkup building is pet-friendly. Listed by Randall Smith of R New York.

Here’s another 1BR from Randall Smith of R New York, at a slightly lower price point but still pretty great. In this East Village rental, you can entertain from your big, open kitchen (with dishwasher!) while your guests relax with a drink at the breakfast bar or in the bright living room. There’s a washer/dryer in-unit, and the building is pet-friendly.

Modern amenities abound in this condo-like elevator building on the corner of Avenue A & 2nd Street. The unit’s interior boasts a queen-size bedroom, an open kitchen with stainless steel appliances (including a dishwasher), and a new bathroom with a glass walk-in shower. There’s a doorman in the lobby Monday through Friday, and the building has both a shared laundry room and a live-in super. Listed by Caitlin Trevino and Natallia Bryleuskaya of Platinum Properties.

Last but not least, the lowest-priced of our East Village rentals proves that cool doesn’t have to cost a fortune. While this is a studio, a wall divides the kitchen and bathroom from the main living area, creating a nice degree of separation. A huge pass-through window maintains a sense of openness, and there’s even room for a separate dining area. Built-in shelving provides lots of storage. Listed by Taylor Brady of GP Properties.
