Apartment rentals New York with Lower East Side

The Manhattan skyline as we know it has changed as a result of the many new construction developments that have risen in recent years, and the Lower East Side has been home to many of these new beautiful buildings. The Rollins is LES’s newest addition and although it doesn’t stretch far into the sky, this 16-story rental has brought a new standard of luxury to the area.

The skyline of the Lower East Side continues to change, with L+M Partners and CIM Group’s towers at 259 Cherry Street, as well as Extell’s condo building at One Manhattan, and now, joining these two large development projects at 259 Clinton Street, Eastman Architects will bring the 724-foot, glass tower that will hold 732 apartments within the 62-stories.

Once upon a time, Philadelphia was the ‘6th Borough’, but in the decade since The New York Times ran a piece about Brooklynites moving to Philly for a more affordable & authentic urban experience, a new crop of cities have taken the moniker.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy housing is becoming scarcer. And with cold weather on the way, city, state, and federal officials are trying to assemble a pool of vacant houses to supplement New York City's shelter system. While many people have been clinging to their apartments despite not having heat or hot water, officials are worried that another wave of people, numbering in the hundreds if not the thousands, will seek shelter as temperatures fall. “We feel a real imperative to have something in place when the second surge comes,” said Matthew M. Wambua, the city’s housing commissioner. With the electrical outages and the encroaching winter season, many people are left wondering where, and how, they are going to stay warm.

The Lower East Side in downtown Manhattan is a neighborhood that invokes different things for different people. For many New Yorkers, the neighborhood still stands as one of the most saturated immigrant and working class communities in the city. For others, the Lower East Side is the place to go if you want to indulge in all that downtown living has to offer while finding some of the best real estate bargains in Manhattan. Luxury rentals in Manhattan are in as high demand as ever, and as the extravagence of the neighborhood and building amenities increase, so do the prices. According to the New York Post, rental apartments are cheaper on the Lower East Side than in Manhattan as a whole, and many New Yorkers are willing to trade in excessive amentiies for a better deal.
