304 E 20th St

Studio, $2,050

304 E 20th St between First and Second Aves, Gramercy/Flatiron
Included: Heat and hot water
Broker’s fee: 15 percent of annual rent ($3,870)
To move in: First month’s rent and one-month security
The highlights: The apartment is located in a well-maintained brick building that sits on the corner of the block, across from a public basketball court. The bedroom windows face north, and are large enough that they definitely require blinds in order to sleep in on a weekend morning.
The hang-ups: The basketball court and a nearby NYPD station—which does increase the safety factor—could generate a fair amount of noise.
