Our first Upper West Side apartment is set in a prewar elevator building right near Riverside Park. Not too shabby! Huge windows and hardwood floors throughout the space provide a bright and airy feel. There’s an eat-in kitchen with lots of cabinet space, too, and a chic white bathroom. In addition, the building has shared laundry and is just a couple blocks from the 1 train. Listed by George Arana and Joel Stanger of Brown Harris Stevens.

This studio boasts 11-foot ceilings, which allows ample room for a windowed sleeping loft. Exposed brick walls and wood accents add a classic touch. The kitchen is small but mighty with a full-size fridge and oven and extra cabinet space around a corner. And the prime location — between Amsterdam and Columbus — puts you close to Central Park and 5 different train lines. Listed by Kyle Rogers of Corcoran.

Talk about charming! This Upper West Side apartment has a sunken living room, reached via a step-down with decorative railings. It’s a nice touch that adds a sense of formality to the large space. There’s also a windowed kitchen with a dishwasher and a cute pass-through window. And the king-size bedroom has three windows with two exposures for plenty of sunshine.

This unique Upper West Side apartment is part loft, part duplex. Up the open wooden stairs is a full-size bedroom that overlooks the main living area. You’ll find a walk-in closet up there, too, plus room for an office setup. Downstairs, 10-foot-tall windows keep the place bright. The corner kitchen includes a dishwasher. In addition, the building boasts laundry, an elevator, and a doorman. Listed by Avi Levi-Braha of Corcoran.

We’ve saved the best for last: a spacious 2-bedroom right on Central Park West. Now that’s the Upper West Side apartment dream! This lovely, bright unit features a renovated kitchen and blond hardwoods. Both bedrooms have big windows and plenty of room for king-size beds and then some. Building amenities include laundry, a gym, and a furnished roof deck. Plus, one month free brings the net-effective rent to $3,300. Listed by Cindy Truong of Tri Hill Realty.
