Unwind in Style: 21 New York City homes with serene soaking tubs

Assortment of NYC apartments with baths with deep soaking tubs

Friday, Jan 17, 2025 By CityRealty Staff, CityRealty contributor

Soaking tubs are synonymous with relaxation, and during these cold winter months, when commuting and outings feel more taxing, a soaking tub is one of the best luxury items to help you recharge. Installing a soaking tub in your NYC apartment is a commitment, but with careful planning, it can be a highly rewarding upgrade.

A soaking tub is a deep bathtub designed for full immersion, offering a relaxing and therapeutic bathing experience. Unlike standard tubs, soaking tubs prioritize depth over length, allowing bathers to submerge comfortably and unwind. They come in various styles, from freestanding and clawfoot designs to space-saving corner or alcove models, making them adaptable to a wide range of bathroom layouts.

Popular brands include Kohler, known for its sleek, modern designs; American Standard, offering durable and budget-friendly options; TOTO, celebrated for its minimalist Japanese-inspired aesthetics; and Signature Hardware, specializing in freestanding and statement tubs. High-end options from brands like MTI Baths and Victoria + Albert cater to those seeking luxury materials such as stone or copper.

In our fast-paced city, where space is at a premium and stress levels can run high, adding a soaking tub to your apartment bathroom can be a transformative upgrade. Beyond their functional appeal, soaking tubs also elevate the aesthetics of a bathroom, creating a spa-like atmosphere.

NYC bathrooms are often small, making it crucial to choose a tub that fits comfortably without overwhelming the space. Corner soaking tubs or compact walk-in models are excellent options for maximizing functionality in tight quarters. Another consideration is weight—soaking tubs, especially those made of materials like cast iron or stone, can be exceptionally heavy, particularly when filled with water. In a city dominated by pre-war buildings and older constructions, ensuring your floor can support the weight is critical. Consulting a structural engineer to assess load-bearing capacity is a wise investment before installation.

Whether you’re renting or buying an apartment, you’ll likely need permission from your landlord or condo/co-op board to install a new tub. Some agreements may include stipulations about remodeling or plumbing alterations. Additionally, if energy costs for heating water increase significantly, you may need to negotiate with your landlord about covering those expenses. For owners considering a renovation, integrating a soaking tub into a larger bathroom remodel can streamline the process and reduce disruption.

For prospective buyers not looking to tackle the work of renovating and installing a soaking tub, the listings below feature two dozen active apartments with soaking tubs already installed, offering a serene escape within the comfort of your home.
