    W 104th St #5E

    Two-bedroom on Upper West Side, $2,450/month

    This elegant two-bedroom abode is situated on a quiet block on the Upper West Side, just south of Columbia University’s gorgeous campus. Pretty details like herringbone parquet floors and white base molding throughout, plus a marble-tiled bathroom, lend an air of luxury to the apartment. The place is flooded with natural sunlight thanks to plentiful windows, and the high-ceilinged living room (accented by a brick fireplace) will make the perfect spot for a big, comfy couch to plop down on for family movie nights. The B, C and 1 trains are easily accessible and with a Whole Foods (and wine shop!) just a short walk downtown on Columbus Ave, grocery shopping is stress-free. Don’t forget to take the kids for a fresh-air stroll around the mostly tourist-free section of Central Park nearby!
