Walk-ups. We love them, we hate them, we can’t avoid them. If there’s one thing every apartment-renting-New Yorker understands, though, it’s that they tend to be cheaper than their trendier counterparts. Plus, you can skip leg day at the gym (or the gym entirely..right?) and build that staircase workout into your daily routine. But how much cheaper are walk-ups, really?
Depending on the neighborhood, living in one can save you 10-15% on average. And with NYC rents being the 2nd highest in the nation, a walk-up apartment might just be the way to go. Check out these one and two-bedroom NYC walk-ups that are cheaper than the median price of apartments in their neighborhoods.
