Manhattan is the densest and most sought-after of New York's five boroughs — the place to be if you want to walk to work, eat somewhere new every night, and step onto a subway that reaches the entire city. Its housing runs from prewar walk-ups in the Village and Harlem to full-service doorman towers in Midtown and along the Upper East and Upper West Sides, with studios and one-bedrooms making up most of what's available. Rents are the highest in the city, but so is the convenience: most neighborhoods sit on several train lines, and you're rarely more than a few blocks from a park, a market, or a station. Renters here trade square footage for location — a smaller apartment in exchange for being at the center of everything.

One-bedrooms in Manhattan are the sweet spot for singles and couples who want a separate bedroom without taking on a roommate.
