2 Bedroom Apartments for Rent in New York City

Like NYC dwellers themselves, apartments for rent in New York City come in a dazzling variety of shapes and sizes. Manhattan apartment rental listings on Luxury Rentals Manhattan run the full NYC-apartment gamut, from cozy rental studios in Chelsea to two-bedroom rentals in Greenwich Village to sprawling five-bedroom apartments on the Upper East Side. So, how will you know which Manhattan rental listing is right for you, or which Manhattan apartment is your Manhattan apartment?

Trusting your instincts is a good start. If you're flying solo, a studio apartment or one-bedroom apartment rental is a good choice. If you're moving in with someone special -- or just a roommate or two -- two-bedroom and three-bedroom rental apartments offer additional living space and cost-sharing opportunities. Four-bedroom and five-bedroom rental apartments are among the more sought-after prizes in NYC real estate, but for good reason, since they are ideal for growing families looking for a place to call their own in Manhattan.

Luxury Rentals Manhattan's advanced apartment listing search ensures that whatever your needs and whatever your neighborhood of choice, you'll be able to find your Manhattan rental apartment at Luxury Rentals Manhattan.

The Somerset The Somerset

1365 York Avenue, Upper East Side

The Somerset Building - 1365 York Avenue apartments for rent

This neighborhood has undergone dramatic change for the better since the Somerset was erected in 1977. At that time, this was a fairly desolate stretch of York Avenue.

In late 1998, Sotheby's began a major expansion on its site. This building, which occupies the entire avenue blockfront between 72nd and 73rd Streets, has attractions of its own including superb views, a driveway, lushly landscaped entrance and many balconies.
