The one-of-a-kind facade of 170 Amsterdam has brought a unique style of luxury to the Upper West Side since it was completed back in 2014. The intriguing development is just as beautiful inside as it is out, and luckily this fabulous building still has homes available.

It’s no secret that New York City is lacking extra space. As the amount of residents in the city continues to grow, families of three or more are finding it difficult to locate luxury family-friendly homes. We’ve decided to make things a little easier for large families and highlight three New York City developments that have up to four-bedroom apartments available.

The Upper West Side has always been known as an area in the city that’s managed to hold onto its neighborly feel, as the rest of Manhattan continues to grow upward. The classic low-rise towers, brownstone townhouses, tree-lined streets, and beautiful green spaces like Central Park are just a few things that make the Upper West Side a highly desirable place to live. New residential developments in the UWS are not as common, but luckily some of the residential buildings in the area that still have availability rank among the most lavish in the neighborhood. Here are three rental developments that you won’t want to miss!

Find your quintessential luxury home along the historic streets of the Upper West Side.

The Upper West Side is one of the most established and sophisticated neighborhoods in the city, and it’s also home to some of its most coveted luxury rental buildings.

It’s not tough to understand why so many New Yorkers want to live in Lincoln Square—after all, this Upper West Side locality is one of the city’s most popular neighborhoods, thanks to its proximity to places like Lincoln Center, Columbus Circle and, of course, Central Park. Adding to the appeal of the neighborhood are the many shops, restaurants and markets that dot the area, all of which make sure that residents here have a great lifestyle both inside and outside their homes.

Submitted for your approval: The Chatsworth, located at 344 West 72nd Street. Constructed in the early 1900’s, The Chatsworth is one of the key apartment buildings in Upper West Side history. And now, for the first time in several decades, The Chatsworth is going on the market for a grand total of $150 million. In recent times, sales of historic apartment buildings in Manhattan have been quite rare, allowing The Chatsworth to stand in a league of its own. Furthermore, half of the rentals at the Chatsworth are rent-stabilized, with one-bedroom apartments going for just $1,600 a month on average, making the property even more valuable.

We’ve already written extensively about scarcity in the rental inventory in Manhattan. A lack of available apartments will be one of the dominant themes of 2012, mostly due to economic uncertainty. The current economic climate has had the dual effect of preventing developers from constructing new buildings, and pushing people who would otherwise buy condos into the rental market. Yesterday the Wall Street Journal published figures that quantify the market’s scarcity. There will be roughly 2,230 apartments for rent in Manhattan that will go on the market this year, the lowest amount since 2005, when the figure was first counted. And the vacancy rate for all luxury rentals in Manhattan is 1.27%.

Recently, Luxury Rentals Manhattan posed a question that anyone searching for a NYC rental apartment has surely asked him or herself: "Are Manhattan rental apartments now a rich person thing?" It’s no secret that New York City is the nation’s most expensive place to rent, and although -- given how much more expensive it is to buy a Manhattan apartment -- renting in Manhattan still seems like the way to go, it's all relative: MNS’ figures show that in May 2011, rental prices increased by 6% from last year’s average. That's overall, though, and as anyone browsing Manhattan rental listings has surely noticed by now, rental prices, while high throughout Manhattan, are highly variable, even between bordering neighborhoods. Averaging studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom costs for each part of Manhattan shows that Tribeca is New York’s most expensive place to rent, while Harlem is the cheapest. That’s not particularly surprising, but some of their findings are. Contrary to popular belief, or common sense for that matter, renting in the Upper East Side is actually less expensive than renting in Greenwich Village, the Upper West Side, or Chelsea. So what does any of this have to do with rezoning North Tribeca and lowering housing costs?
