Over the past decade or so, open-plan apartments have seen an incredible rise in number and popularity, and it would be natural to wonder what's not to like about this. After all, it allows incredible natural light to make its way to all corners of the home. It also makes for excellent flexibility and creates the appearance of greater square footage, which is especially important in a city like New York.
However, there is something to be said for traditional layouts like the classic six. Some architecture aficionados and history buffs have always preferred this model over the more modern open plan, but it has taken on greater significance in these troubled times. With whole families holed up in New York apartments until the quarantine restrictions lift, the clearly defined rooms can make for clearly defined zones for work, study, recreation, and privacy as we try to make and stick to new routines. And in a worst-case scenario, being able to close a door and stick to one room in the home can make self-isolation easier to follow.
Below, see a selection of traditionally laid out apartments throughout Manhattan. Staying inside is somewhat easier to abide with such gorgeous views and architectural details to enjoy. When we can all go out again, they are excellently located near some of New York's best parks, shopping, dining, and cultural institutions. And while the news has been scary as of late, these prices are not: All apartments are listed below $2 million.
