Top Rental Properties for Singles in New York City

Upper East Side, Financial District, Midtown, Gramarcy Park/Murray Hill

Regina Sass
A single person looking for an apartment to rent in the Borough of Manhattan New York City has some great neighborhoods to choose from. The Upper East Side, one of the hottest spots in the city, The Financial District, right in the middle of everything downtown, including Greenwich Village, and Midtown, convenient to the many office buildings.

One thing to do when looking for an apartment is to take in the overall picture. You have to look at what your total budget will be for a month. Then see what each apartment building offers such as utilities included, if they are then you can go for a higher rent. And the extras. For instance if you like to go to a health club and the apartment building has one, then you won't have the extra cost of joining one. Be sure to ask questions. Make a list before hand and make notes. Apartments go fast in Manhattan. A lot of the buildings have been converted to co-ops and condos, so you may have to put your name on a waiting list. For a single person, the most popular are the studios and one bedroom. There is another thing to take into consideration, and that is a roommate. If you take a look at the difference between a studio and a two bedroom, divide the price of a two bedroom in half and see how much less it is than a studio, having a roommate can result in a considerable savings. The ones listed here are a good representation of the rents in Manhattan. The prices can change. The real estate market is famous for that. Good luck hunting.
