When you live in one of Algin Management’s no-fee rentals, you’re likely never far from a beautiful park. Here are four of the finest green spaces—just a hop, skip, and a jump away from various NYC apartments in the Algin portfolio.

Washington Square Park near Hilary Gardens

Across the road from Hilary Gardens is Washington Square Park—a leafy spot where there’s always something going on. Street entertainers perform for passers-by. Kids and parents cool off near the fountain. Studious chess players consider their next move in the shade of the elms. Pooch owners chat while pets let off steam on the dog runs. Join in with the fun or simply take a stroll along the park’s pathways, pausing to admire the grand Washington Square Arch.

Stuyvesant Square Park near The Liane and The Townsway

This refined park is a fleeting walk from both The Liane and The Townsway—offering respite from NYC’s hustle and bustle with its attractive fountains, English elm trees, and tulip beds in the springtime. It’s a fitting location to delve into a book on NYC’s history; after all, the park is named for Peter Gerard Stuyvesant, cofounder of the New-York Historical Society. Go seek out his statue here, as well as that of composer Antonin Dvorak, who once called this neighborhood home.

Asphalt Green Park near 330 East 85th Street

If you’re looking to rekindle your love of sports—or discover a new sport to fall in love with—Asphalt Green is for you. This wedge of green space boasts soccer and baseball fields, tennis courts, running tracks, swimming pools, and lots more. You can join a league with friends, focus on individual training, or get stuck into a wealth of other activities.  Residents of 330 East 85th Street are just a 10-minute walk from these facilities. Or a five-minute jog.

Central Park near Algin Apartments

Covering a staggering 843 acres, it’s little wonder that Central Park neighbors with a number of Algin Management properties. From ARO, you’re less than 15 minutes from the tranquility of Hallett Nature Sanctuary. The apartments at 1476 and 1486 Lexington Avenue are moments from the world-class museums just across from the park, including the Cooper Hewitt and the Jewish Museum. From The Parkview, take Sunday strolls through the serene Conservatory Garden. Go on reinvigorating jogs around the reservoir’s Shuman Running Track from the brownstones on East 96th Street. 461 Central Park West, meanwhile, overlooks Central Park’s Great Hill and its North Woods—bristling with wildlife and ripe for exploration.

A green stroll is never too far away from your Algin home. Contact us to learn more about all the no-fee Manhattan apartments that are currently available for rent.

New York City’s Laurence Towers offers one- to three-bedroom residences with spectacular Manhattan views. A handful of apartments are currently available for rental; here’s what to expect from them.

It’s everything you need to rustle up meals or prepare dinner parties. Each kitchen’s modernist-style cabinetry is effortlessly stylish, and ample in size.

Living Rooms

Continuing into the living room, you’re drawn to the generously-proportioned windows. Sunlight streams in, creating an inviting, light-filled space for enjoying meals, reading books—or even performing your daily yoga routine. The windows also offer enviable New York City views—across rooftop gardens and parks. Some look out over the East River, too. Laurence Towers’ living rooms easily accommodate sofas, coffee tables and dining furniture. Some also walk out onto a terrace or balcony—perfect for coffee (or cocktails) al fresco.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms

The bedrooms at Laurence Towers command more urban panoramas: think skyscrapers, treetops, those iconic water towers—what a way to wake up each morning. Additionally, each bedroom boasts the kind of walk-in closet space that’s sorely sought-after in this part of NYC. Adjacent is the bathroom, gleaming white with brick-shaped glazed tiles. You can shower in the mornings—perhaps after using Laurence Towers’ on-site fitness center—and indulge in evening soaks in the tub. Fixtures and fittings, from vanity to towel rail, are all freshly appointed.

Amenities and Neighborhood

All Laurence Towers residents have access to impressive amenities, including a 24-hour doorman, attended parking garage and a live-in manager there to address any queries.

However, spring is about more than keeping your New Year’s resolution to hit the gym. At Sessanta, residents have access to a range of outdoor spaces designed to help make the most of balmy weather. In addition to the English garden, where the pop-pop of nearby tennis play creates a sophisticated ambiance, residents have access to the courtyard garden, a spacious, peaceful oasis, where perennial plantings create an atmosphere that’s perfect for some quiet reading time or a picnic with friends and family.

March is Women’s History Month, which gives us a chance to reflect on those who have changed our lives personally and transformed the world. Since 1987, March has been a time to highlight innovative, creative, and revolutionary women. Throughout the year, Algin Management seeks to appreciate, commemorate, and amplify the voices of all the fearless women on our team, in our social circles, and in our families. 

In fact, the founder of Algin, Albert Ginsberg, was so affected and inspired by the women in his family that he chose to name some of the most enchanting and alluring NYC no-fee rentals buildings in our portfolio after them. An unabashed family man, Ginsberg celebrated his daughters with two apartment buildings, The Liane and Hilary Gardens, and gave their mother’s name to The Pearl. Let’s see why these buildings are notable enough for Ginsberg to honor the most important women in his life. 

The Liane

Gramercy is one of Manhattan’s toniest enclaves with tree-lined streets, easy access to Midtown East, Madison Square Park, and all points Downtown, and, of course, the eponymous Gramercy Park that is the centerpiece of this old-school neighborhood. On quiet 21st Street, The Liane stands out as a convenience-filled respite from the bustle of the city. Here, you’ll find homes with all the amenities you’ll ever need, including state-of-the-art appliances, laundry, a live-in superintendent. Let the elevator whisk you from the immaculately renovated lobby to your studio or one-bedroom home where you can experience the ultimate in Gramercy living. 

Hilary Gardens

This soaring high-rise right in the heart of iconic Greenwich Village is one of the city’s most desirable locations. At Hilary Gardens, you have access to the culture and cuisine that Downtown living affords in a modern and well-appointment home. These sun-flooded studios, one- and two-bedroom homes are the perfect place for you and your family to experience it all. But you don’t have to look too far to find fun. Just head to the rooftop sky deck and swim in a heated pool* as you take in truly breathtaking panoramic views of the entire city. 

The Pearl 

The Pearl towers 23 stories above the Upper East Side, affording residents world-class vistas from their luxury homes in the sky through floor-to-ceiling windows. There’s a lot of shopping and dining to be had on the UES, but with gorgeous hardwood floors, custom kitchens, terraces, and sumptuous bathrooms, you might never want to leave, whether you’re in a one-, two-, or three-bedroom abode.

Murray Hill combines the quaint with a center-of-it-all location, which means its local shops and restaurants offer the best of the best with a personal twist. It’s easy to bring a little spark into your life and to make those days and nights romantic and fun via a plethora of shops and restaurants with pickup and delivery options for delicious meals or those ‘little things’ that transform times of day into precious moments.

There is nothing that lifts a mood like a masterfully crafted bouquet of flowers—or that more radiantly foregrounds a window filled with dusk’s glow. AAA Flowers is a family-run Murray Hill gem that provides free delivery service, even for a last-minute surprise for a friend, colleague, or loved one. For a burst of color and a sweet gesture of love or friendship, send the Heavenly Hues Bouquet, a delicate combination of hydrangea, roses, carnations, and asters that plays with varieties of yellow and powdery blues. If you want to make a statement, or even create a tropical paradise in a corner of your home, try the Tropical Flight, a tall and striking glass vase of Birds of Paradise as transporting as it is architectural. Whichever arrangement you choose, know that the expert crafters at AAA Flowers will select the freshest, most abundant blooms for your arrangement, 

With a backdrop of natural beauty, the stage is set for a meal at home that becomes a celebration when there are so many exciting and innovative local restaurants to choose from. Hill and Bay is a neighborhood favorite, which, according to Time Out New York, offers “relaxed brasserie fare” and “comfort food aplenty, including a variety of burgers, warming entrees like chicken mash kale and a range of pasta dishes.” They also offer the kinds of cocktails that combine innovative flavors with a sense of play, like the Ferris Mule’ers Day Off, which features vodka, ginger beer, and fresh lime juice. 

Tiberias is a completely kosher Murray Hill restaurant that draws crowds, whether they keep kosher or not, due to its commitment to the finest, freshest ingredients. A splash of the Mediterranean via the Middle East, Tiberias offers pizzas that feature the best of these regions, such as Greek feta cheese, halloumi cheese, and wild mushrooms. They also offer a wide range of seafood entrees with elegant touches, like the baked sea bass with a white wine reduction, and a full sushi menu featuring some of the freshest fish around, which you can order a la carte or in a combo platter. This is also the kind of place where you won’t want to skimp on dessert. Try the Oreos on Fire, which features fried Oreos atop a savoiardi cake doused in espresso, and your celebration in the heart of Manhattan will be complete. 

Embrace the coming of spring with a romantic evening in Murray Hill! Looking to begin a new life in this esteemed neighborhood? Contact the Algin leasing team and discover your new home on Murray Hill today!

Located at the corner of Waverly and Mercer Streets in the heart of Greenwich Village, Hilary Gardens puts residents in the center of the world’s greatest city. This doorman building’s grand entrance and lobby create a passage between Manhattan’s iconic streets and spacious, light-filled homes, where large living room windows reveal the cityscape. For even better vistas, residents can head up to the building’s rooftop deck to enjoy sweeping Manhattan views.

Originally built in 1976, Hilary Gardens has undergone a full renovation, bringing the building’s lobby as well as the kitchens and baths in the residences up to modern luxe standards. The 24-hour doorman and on-site valet make sure that each resident’s return is smooth and comfortable as they welcome them into the lobby, where 20-foot ceilings make an immediate impression. 

The residences themselves are perfect for entertaining, working from home, or just relaxing with family.

During the summer months, all residents at Hilary Gardens have access to the building’s grand rooftop deck, which stands 35 stories above the street. The large temperature-controlled pool* and wide rooftop deck look out on a panoramic view of Lower Manhattan, framed by the East and Hudson Rivers and anchored by the superlative height of One World Trade. Between epic views, the large pool, and ample space to relax on chaise lounges, the rooftop deck at Hilary Gardens feels a million miles away from the sidewalks below.

But that’s what makes living at Hilary Gardens so special. Residents can grab a meal at one of their favorite spots on MacDougal Street, take a stroll through Washington Square Park on their way home, and be standing on the rooftop deck 15 minutes later. So, why not head over to the availability page and secure your new Greenwich Village rental at Hilary Gardens today? For a limited time, Hilary Gardens is offering two months free on a 14- or 26-month lease, making now the right moment to select your new place to live!

Looking for a new, no-fee rental in NYC? The first step is to take a virtual tour of the apartments available at The Townsway—giving yourself a feel for the size and quality of these covetable NYC residences. Like what you see? They’re available for immediate occupancy in 2021. Let’s get a taster of the one-bedroom and studio apartments on offer right now.

A Wonderful One-Bedroom Home

A virtual walk around Residence 8M shows off this light and airy one-bedroom rental. From the comfort of your current home, picture yourself rustling up something delicious in this Townsway kitchen, fitted with stainless-steel appliances and custom cabinetry. Take an online stroll—across the hardwood floors—into the living room, visualizing the sofas, prints, and plants you’ll use to make this apartment a home. Do the same in the bedroom, with its capacious walk-in closet and Manhattan skyline views. You’ll notice there’s an additional walk-in closet in the hallway outside the bedroom. Then admire the freshly appointed bathroom with European tiles and updated fixtures. Something else to admire is the price of this one-bedroom apartment: just $2,695 per month.

A Superlative Studio

Step into Studio 1E, and you can immediately picture yourself hosting socially distanced gatherings with your close family. The bedroom walks out onto a private ground-floor patio, ensconced by a smart wooden fence, lending privacy and quietude. This kind of outdoor space is a real find in New York City and will prove perfect for mulled drinks around the fire pit in the winter and BBQs and picnics in the spring and summer. Studio 1E’s interior is equally welcoming: the open-aspect kitchen—again, with stainless-steel appliances and custom cabinetry—looks out over the bedroom and living space and forms an inviting and practical place to work, rest, and play. Elsewhere, walk-in closets provide ample storage space. All this, for just $2,650 a month.

All the Added Bonuses

While The Townsway’s virtual tours are ideal introductions to the apartments, they can’t show you everything the building has to offer. They don’t, for example, show you the 24-hour doorman, the dedicated laundry room, the live-in resident manager who’s there for any questions and requests, or the on-site parking*. The tours also don’t show you the slew of Manhattan shops, bars, and parks situated on the doorstep of these no-fee apartments. Then again, if—as we think—you like what you see, you’ll be calling in early in the New Year to see The Townsway in person.

All residents can enjoy the full suite of luxury amenities in this 35-story tower, from the year-round fitness center and 24-hour doorman to an outdoor pool and sauna in the warmer months.* Of course, proximity to Washington Square Park, the Downtown dining scene, and the historic charm of the Village is just icing on top.

Sessanta is offering a three-month concession for an opportunity to live large in this elegant Upper West Side residence and take advantage of its exclusive amenities. Swim a few laps in the indoor pool, stretch and strengthen in the yoga and Pilates lounge, or unwind with a game of billiards in the media lounge. And when the weather warms up, practice your backhand at the tennis court with US Open finishes. All residences feature premium finishes, top-of-the-line stainless-steel appliances, high ceilings, and sweeping city and Hudson River views.

The Upper East Side residences at 330 East 85th Street are available now with a two-month concession on 14- or 26-month leases.** The tasteful, modern white-brick edifice complements the interiors in each of its studio to two-bedroom homes, with meticulously appointed details— from the bathroom’s modern fixtures to stainless-steel appliances in the contemporary kitchens. 330 East 85th Street is close to the best of New York City—from Central Park and Museum Mile to the East River, with a host of shops and restaurants (a number of which are currently offering outdoor dining) lining Second Avenue just steps away from your apartment.

If you want a central Manhattan location, there’s no better place to look than the lively neighborhood of Murray Hill. Residents have easy access to Wall Street and Midtown’s business hubs for work, as well as the unique culture of the East and West Villages, Chelsea, and the rest of Downtown. To top it all off, no-fee Murray Hill rentals from Algin Management afford you access to one of NYC’s most important features: food, food, and more food. 

No matter what no-fee Algin Management property you reside in, you’re always a short walk away from some world-class international cuisine. So, let’s take a grand tour of some of the delectable international delicacies without ever leaving Murray Hill. 

Holding off on travel plans to our southerly neighbor, Mexico? Just take a quick—under five-minute—stroll from 530 Second Ave. to Park Avenue South and indulge in the delicious and authentic Mexican dishes of Dos Caminos. Start with their freshly made tortilla chips, paired with a salsa flight ranging from mild to muy picante, or street-food-style “bocaditos,” like cheesy fundido dip or crispy taquitos. Dig in and get ready for the house specials of rich and spicy enchiladas, enveloped in handmade tortillas smothered in savory sauces, or a sizzling fajita. You’d be remiss in visiting Dos Caminos without ordering their “made-to-order” guacamole and their expertly prepared signature margaritas. Best of all, if you don’t feel like dining in, Dos Caminos is currently offering takeout.

If you’re in the mood for some genuine Italian food, we suggest you try a dish or two from Tarallucci e Vino. This isn’t your typical “red sauce joint”; it’s part of a restaurant group, initially focused on European expats, that’s been around for almost 20 years, and for a good reason: the food is unparalleled. Bring a bit of Abruzzo home when you order delivery from Tarallucci e Vino to your apartment at 148 East 30th St. Indulge in cheese and cured meat with a Salumi E Formaggi board or go meatless with a transcendent lasagna made with an “Impossible Meat” ragu. Recently, Gambero Rosso hailed this spot as one of the “Top Italian Restaurants in New York.”

Sushi and sake lovers in Murray Hill worship the delicate, almost artistic rolls and sashimi at Sushi Yasuda. One Zagat review hails its culinary artistry as the sushi “of your dreams.” And the best part is you can have it ordered straight to your home. 

If you feel like forgoing dining out or ordering in and want a more hands-on approach to dinner, skip the grocery store and go straight to the source of delicious food. Lebanese restaurant ilili serves at-home cooking kits of their fare. Impress your family with a fall-off-the-bone roast chicken or a distinctive and succulent braised lamb.

When you’re in Murray Hill, you’re surrounded by some of the most incredible food in the city—and the world. To find the ideal home for you, contact Algin Management’s team for more information about their no-fee rental apartments today.
