Rental Apartments in NYC near Fusion Arts Museum

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.

A newly constructed red-brick luxury rental building located at the cross-section of Houston St. and Chrystie Street on the Lower East Side, Avalon Chrystie Place has played a major role in revitalizing the neighborhood. Built in 2005, the post-war luxury building stands 14-stories tall and has an appealing red-brick exterior with a set-back tower on the 9th floor. Avalon Chrystie Place is also home to multiple retail stores on the lower levels, including a Whole Foods on the 1st and 2nd floor.
