Looking at a studio with a 'loft style' bedroom



We looked at a "micro loft" for sale yesterday on East Second Street. Today, let's check out what you might call a "micro studio" rental with a "loft style" bedroom at 105 E. 10th St. between Second Avenue and Third Avenue.



Per the Village Living Rentals listing, this studio features:

Oak strip flooring, high ceilings and crown molding.
Apartment has large, full separate bathroom.
Kitchen is also separate from the living space.
Bedroom is loft style!
There is a decorative fireplace!



There does not appear to be much headroom coming into the bedroom/living room/fireplace area… (tenants may need a "watch your head" sign…)



Asking price: $1,700.

The least-expensive apartment now in the East Village doesn't include a kitchen

Was checking out the inventory of East Village apartments for rent over at Streeteasy. Was curious to see what the least-expensive apartment was in their listings. Here it is at 57 E. Seventh St.:

~Approximately $1300 per month or $325 per week ~This is an unfurnished "Single Room Occupancy" apartment (SRO). ~This is a SMALL, Private studio without a kitchen ~Heat, Hot Water, and Electricity are Included ~Private Bath ~This Unit Does NOT Have a Kitchen ~NOT FURNISHED ~No Pets Please ~Minimum lease of 3 months.

So, OK... probably not any kind of a long-term housing solution... And really — who needs a kitchen? Well, except it's nice to have that space to store your winter clothes.

And the next least-expensive apartment in the East Village based on Streeteasy's listings? A studio at 621 E. 11th St. for $1,595. (Includes a kitchen!) Which is a pretty good deal when you consider that the median price for a studio in the East Village is $2,585, based on Streeteasy's inventory.
