32 West 40th Street

Unbeatable location - a doorman elevator building right on Bryant Park.  The building literally opens onto 40th street right between 5th Ave and 6th Ave, where you see the ice rink in the winter and the grass lawn in the summer.  You are walking distance to just about every subway line, a Whole Foods half a block away, and a Citibike station on the same block.

For those who know the area, Lady M and Royce Chocolates are directly downstairs (they are commercial tenants of the co-op).  The sidewalk in front is also the filming location of the infamous wedding scene between Big and Carrie in "Sex at the City", the movie.  It is a one-of-a-kind apartment with no comparable apartments nearby.

I am the owner and have lived in the building for over 10 years - there is no broker fee and this is the only apartment I have to rent out.  However, it is a co-op. so you will need to disclose quite a bit more about your financials than most landlords require.  There are also co-op fees, which we will need to split to cover your move-in.

Because of the co-op fees, this apartment is most suitable for someone renting for at least 12 months (the last two tenants each stayed 3 years).  The apartment does NOT easily flex into a flex-2.  It is designed for a couple or a single individual. No pets allowed.

The fees will ONLY be charged once your lease is approved, but amounts to $1850 in fees (move-in, board interview, processing, review, and sublet fees).  I  can cover the fees but we would need to raise the monthly rent.  If you plan to stay multiple years, it's much better to pay the fees now and lock in the low rent.

We just recently renovated the apartment with fresh paint, flooring, new closet doors, fixtures, refrigerator, and more.  It is move-in ready.

This apartment's rent is 39.04% cheaper than the median rent of $4,798 for a 1-bedroom apartment in Midtown South, New York, NY.

The median is solely based on the area and the number of bedrooms. Listing-specific characteristics such as the number of bathrooms and the amenities will also impact the price.

The apartment is a unit offered at a monthly price of $2,925. This is a luxury doorman / elevator building. The person posting the listing did not specify that any pets were allowed. It may be the case that pets are ok and the manager simply has not yet filled out all the details. For your convenience, there are shared laundry machines in the building. The kitchen conveniently includes a dishwasher. This is a No Fee apartment, meaning the manager or agent should not ask you for a broker fee (there may still be deposits and other move-in fees paid to the landlord).

We have 4 photos of this particular unit, building, and surrounding areas.
