Looking to swap a ho-hum rental in a blah neighborhood for something more luxurious, unique and totally convenient? Then Park Slope’s most elegant and amenity-packed no-fee rental building, Arias Park Slope, is for you.

Sail through the coldest winter months in a luxury parkside rental with amenities galore:  123 on the Park in Prospect Park, Brooklyn has pretty much everything a hibernating New Yorker could need to fend off cabin fever during a polar vortex.  Start your day with some sun salutations in the yoga studio then head over to the state-of-the-art fitness center for a workout. Later on, you can enjoy a round of billiards or game of ping-pong in the residents’ lounge, then curl up with a book or tablet by the lobby fireplace.

First things first: Yes, you can likely get a two-bedroom for the price ($4,650 a month) of this studio on Gramercy Park East, but let’s just assume you want a really fancy abode—not to mention a key to the park and armored statues guarding your front door.
