    Seek solace from the hectic rush of lower Manhattan in this two-bedroom abode, just north of the Upper East Side. The building boasts luxury aspects, including dark hardwood floors, a 24-hour concierge/doorman and—the clincher—in-unit laundry. The spacious kitchen has plenty of counter and cabinet space, simplifying dinner prep for you and the gang, and if you'd rather dine al fresco, the rooftop deck has a BBQ terrace where you can fire up the grill on a balmy summer night.

    Imagine the clean, cream-colored walls with white trim in this Upper East Side apartment as your blank canvas. With spiffed-up wood floors and pretty French doors to work with, you'll be able to transform the simple quarters into a customized home for you and your family. The king-size bedroom is perfect for parents, and the twin is just right for a little one.

    103 4th Ave

    Two-bedroom in Park Slope, $2,600/month

    Create a cozy escape for you brood by filling up this wide-open living space with comfy furniture and an overstuffed couch. The apartment is located in the family-friendly neighborhood of Park Slope, but within walking distance of the Atlantic Ave subway hub, which provides access to several lines that take you wherever you need to go. Mom and Dad will surely want dibs on the master bedroom, complete with a skylight, but the full-size room leaves plenty of space for little ones to grow. An extra plus: The brick fireplace is merely decorative, but you won't need the extra warmth with central heating in the building.

    Two-bedroom in Williamsburg, $2,400/month

    Affordable living in Williamsburg isn't easy to come by these days, but this apartment sits smack dab in the middle of the nabe—a prime location flush with great restaurants and shops. Just a block from the J, M and Z trains, this two-bedroom gives rambunctious youngsters room to move around—plus a backyard with a place to store their wheels for family bike rides. If the kids (or dog) are prone to making messes, you'll love having a washer and dryer in the unit, plus tile floors that only require a quick Swiffer for clean-up.

    85 Clay St #1R

    Two-bedroom in Greenpoint, $2,600/month

    Tucked away in the eclectic and quiet Greenpoint 'hood of Brooklyn, this two-bedroom provides everything a small family could need. Windows shed lots of light on the sleek wood floors, and the whole place is tricked out with modern touches like opaque glass cabinets and a private balcony. No need to lug the kids' dirty clothes down the block—onsite machines will be your savior on laundry day. Built-in air conditioning won't hurt either when the suffocating summer heat comes to town.
