Many New York buyers labor under the assumption that living in a well-located apartment means sacrificing green space. However, the number of garden apartments on the market indicates otherwise. The term is used to refer to apartments at or below ground level that come with a small private garden. While the lack of city views may not be for everyone, others embrace the chance to have the best of both worlds. Historic brownstones established garden apartments and set the standard, but developers of new buildings have made sure to include them.
