New York's offices, theaters, restaurants, clubs, and gyms may have shut down in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, but that is not to say that the city has turned quiet. Quite the contrary - according to a Gothamist/WNYC analysis of 311 calls from the beginning of March through mid-April, residential noise complaints are up by 22 percent as compared to this period last year. Perhaps this is not surprising in a city where many people spending a lot more time in apartments with thin walls and units on all sides, which makes it all too easy to hear the neighbors' music, television, and conversations.

In such an atmosphere, it can be tempting to escape to an isolated farmhouse until this is over. However, there is another way that allows people to stay in the city. We take a look at full-floor apartments throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn that allow for greater privacy, not to mention better light through extra exposures. Some might think this type of apartment unattainable, but all of the following listings are priced below $3 million.
