Upper West Side

This very charming one-bedroom inside a historic Upper West Side townhouse is renting for an even $3,100/month. It has a decorative fireplace with mahogany mantle, (something you don’t usually see at this price range), original hardwood plank floors, and 10-foot ceilings. It also comes with a dishwasher. Its location is another major pro: It sits on 73rd Street, just steps from Central Park and near the 1, 2, and 3 trains at 72nd Street.
