5 ground-floor apartment rentals for less than $3,000 a month
You might be thinking that a ground-floor apartment in New York City is something to avoid. They do have a reputation for lacking privacy and safety—and those are real concerns. But these apartments also have some desirable features, especially if you’re spending more time at home.
You won’t have anyone living below you—ideal if you have noisy kids (or pets) or you practice an instrument. There’s also a good chance that you’ll get some sort of private outdoor space— just in time for summer. And you might get more square footage than other apartments, especially if you find one in a townhouse or brownstone.
Of course, there are also downsides to living in these apartments: If your apartment faces the street, you might deal with more noise (or passersby peeking into your apartment—need to get shades!) And, you will certainly get less natural light than an apartment on a higher floor. But having private outdoor space might make up for that.
So if living in a ground-floor apartment sounds like a fit for you, check out these five rentals across the city for less than $3,000 a month.
