In fact, New York is so enthralling its population continues to grow at astounding rates, with 447,565 new residents joining the city’s ranks since 2010 alone. However, when it comes to finding the perfect place to live, not every apartment is created equal. If you’re looking for the ideal spot to call home, look no further than these dreamy NYC residences:

EVGB
Downtown luxury is finally available in rental form, thanks to the East Village rentals at EVGB.
