New York City Rentals near Cascade Center for Teaching and Learning

The Lower East Side features some of the New York City's hippest shopping destinations and best restaurants, a nightlife scene that ranges from cool dives to exclusive nightspots to cutting-edge music venues. What the LES did not have, until 2008, was a top-tier luxury rental building. That changed when the Ludlow opened on the bustling corner of Ludlow Street and East Houston Street. The Ludlow instantly became a Lower East Side landmark, thanks to an eye-catching design by architect Costas Kondylis, but it also rocketed to the top of any list of elite Lower East Side luxury rentals.

Greenwich Village has long been a symbol of Manhattan’s bohemian past, but over the past few years the neighborhood has grown into a cozy and affluent part of the city, with several luxury apartments for rent available. These downtown Manhattan apartments offer New Yorkers a combination of urban flair and high-end convenience. 2 Cooper Square is an excellent example of this kind of living; standing 15 stories tall and containing 144 apartments, it is an ultra-luxury living space that is surrounded by an aura of hip city living and grit.

Built in 2006 as one of the first new luxury rentals in the Lower East Side, Avalon Bowery Place is a luxury rental building standing 9-stories tall and containing 206 luxury apartments. Avalon Bowery Place, located at 11 East 1st Street, is a modern building that stands out in a neighborhood where such buildings are few and far between. This isn’t a bad thing though, because the Lower East Side is a diverse neighborhood that still has the grit of earlier New York days while simultaneously providing some of the best cultural options in the city.
