Apartment rentals New York with West Village Rental Apartments

Beautiful Rentals for Manhattan Village-Dwellers

New York City is known for its sky-reaching towers and busy streets packed with endless things to do. But when it comes to living in the city, the most desirable places are the more quaint neighborhoods, tucked away between the tall buildings at the center of Manhattan in the West, East, and Greenwich Villages. Here are three developments still available in the Manhattan villages.

Neighbors with Zoolander: The Rich and Famous Flock to 150 Charles Street

150 Charles Street seems to be turning into quite the celebrity residential magnet—most recently Ben Stiller and wife Christine Taylor—who bought the home after selling their Upper West Side digs. The couple spent just over $15 million for the 4-bedroom 4.5-bath at 150 Charles Street, where they will live alongside their two children.

Hudson Square: The Little NYC Area That Could

NYC Luxury Rentals - Hudson SquareWhat was once New York City’s premier printing neighborhood is now one of New York City’s best up-and-coming finds. Hudson Square is a modest stretch of land bordered by Greenwich Village, TriBeCa and SoHo in downtown Manhattan. More specifically, Hudson Square (also referred to by its lesser known name West Soho) runs from West Houston Street and Canal Street and sits between 6th Avenue and the Hudson River. Hudson Square contains the largest concentrations of early 19th century Federalist and Greek revival style row houses, and as the area continues to boom commercially with investors and vendors, luxury rental apartments near Hudson Square are steadily gaining popularity.

(Almost) No Vacancy: Report Indicates Manhattan Rental Apartment Vacancy Rates Shrunk Yet Again In July

Rental Apartments NYC

The three most important words in real estate, as even non-real estate types know, are location, location and location. This would be why we worked so hard on the "Apartments Near" modality at Luxury Rentals Manhattan. But if we could add a fourth word to real estate's holy (and wholly redundant) trinity, it would be "scarcity." You don't need to be Paul Krugman to know how this works -- the fewer available rental apartments there are, the more prices tend to climb. (Scarcity has always been a big part of the appeal of no-fee rental apartment listings -- in addition to the fact that no fee rentals are a great value, naturally -- but we're already seeing the effects of an improving NYC real estate market in the shrinking number of no-fee rental apartments) The fact that Manhattan's rental vacancy rate continues to fall further and further below one percent suggests that, as previous studies have indicated, the recovering NYC rental market is going to lead to higher prices on Manhattan rental apartments. With the usual caveat that there are still plenty of good deals on Manhattan rental apartments to be found -- and with the reminder that you can browse Manhattan rental listings here to find them -- let's take a look at what Citi Habitats' new Manhattan rental market report means for NYC rental apartment hunters, and everyone else.
