What to check when comparing 1-bedroom apartments in Upper West Side, Manhattan

Use building reviews to check for elevator issues, noise, maintenance response, and lease renewal patterns before you apply.
The Upper West Side is a 1-bedroom-heavy market, but 2-bedroom options are also common, which can affect pricing and availability.
