The luxury apartments for rent through Algin Management give new meaning to the term “urban oasis.” With their top-of-the-line finishes and views of the park and the city, they make every day feel like a staycation. Beyond the front door, the parks and gardens easily accessible from these properties prove the little-acknowledged truth about finding nature in city living—not only do you not need to leave the city to find it, but Manhattan’s best parks offer something even the upstate landscapes can’t: deeply thoughtful landscaping created with as much care as the city’s great buildings.

There is a reason that the word masterpiece is often used to describe Central Park, and that is because, at every arch or turn in the path, there is a palpable and intentional beauty originating from the designs of Vaux and Olmsted. When you live at ARO, you are mere steps from this sprawling playground for the young and old, where trees mark the seasons and where the main loop and endless paths offer the opportunity to go for a run free from cars and the clamor of the streets any day of the week. This fall, take a stroll through the Ramble at the height of the leaf-changing season or work your way through a yoga routine in the Sheep Meadow.

Sessanta—also within walking distance of Central Park—has its own private courtyard garden, giving you a chance to spend time in nature whenever you like, with the bonus of seclusion and intimacy. It’s the perfect place to have a long, relaxed lunch with a friend alfresco or to immerse yourself in a book under the trees or read the paper with your morning coffee.

The Liane and The Townsway are both a short walk from the East River Greenway, a meticulously landscaped path from Battery Park to 120th street. A run, walk, or bike ride along its length will bring you water breezes, fresh air, skyline views of Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan, and a unique perspective from which to admire the bridges that span the water and the architectural sites of the city framed by parks, plantings, autumn trees and grasses. 

That sense of a taste of the tamed wild is a particular New York pleasure. Add to this the fact that a human-made park is an opportunity to experience nature harnessed by the imagination: nature as an inhabitable work of art becomes a part of your daily life at Algin properties!
