Two-bedroom in Kips Bay, $2,500/month
This compact Kips Bay gem has plenty of recent renovations to make the place plenty worthy of becoming your new home. The kitchen offers a stainless steel gas stove, dishwasher and fridge, plus a pretty stone backsplash and marble countertop. It may be best suited to a family with one child, since the smaller bedroom seems a little tight. Nearby, you’ll find the 33rd St 6 train for easy travel around Manhattan, the NYU Langone Medical Center and St. Vartan’s Park for playtime with the kiddos.
