Address: 327 W 85th St. #5D

Price: $2,500

Neighborhood: Upper West Side

Best feature: This is a rear-facing apartment promising peace and quiet, but it has plenty of large windows looking out onto the scenic, leafy neighborhood. The cozy living room is covered in exposed brick, including a decorative fireplace. Plus, the unit can come furnished for an additional $300 a month. And for walkers, bikers, and rollerblade enthusiasts, the Hudson River Waterfront Greenway is located just a block away.

Biggest drawback: This apartment sits on the fifth floor of a walk-up building, which means lots of steps each day. On the bright side, your calves will never look better.
