If you're going to live in a cool part of town then you're going to need equally cool housing. In a city like New York, there's no shortage of cool parts of town, and now that The Orchard
is leasing in the Lower East Side
, you can live in a place as forward-thinking as the neighborhood it’s in.
Situated across from the recently-opened Essex Market, The Orchard is walking distance from the Delancey St/Essex St FMJZ stop. That makes it easy to get to other parts of the city. Although, when you're also walking distance from ChinaTown, Little Italy, and NoLita, there may be little reason to leave! Make sure to check out Baby Grand, recently named one of Time Out New York's Best Karaoke Bars in the City, and Double Down Saloon, the punk rock bar that serves a famed, mysterious concoction known as Ass Juice (perfect for pre-gaming before seeing a show at neighboring Mercury Lounge).

Despite The Orchard's proximity to endless dining and entertainment options, the coolest, most relaxing place to be is often going to be your own home. Constructed with comfort in mind, The Alexander Gorlin Architects-designed building features open floor plans, floor to ceiling sound-insulated glass, heated floors, and central heating and AC. Everything is top of the line, from the Bosch appliances to the marble bathrooms with rain showers. Most apartments feature a private outdoor terrace. They range in size from 125 to 360 square feet. Residents also have access to a furnished roof deck.
With the Orchard, you’ll be able to go out whenever you please but have a home that’ll keep you from ever experiencing the fear of missing out. In fact, it’s the people passing your residence on the street, who see the full-height glass walls, dark metal spandrels, and red-accented mullions, who’ll experience FOMO.
As of early March, the building has six apartments for rent
with studios starting at $3,518/month, one-beds from $5,345/month, and a three-bedroom penthouse listed for $15,615/month (treat yo-self!). We recently ranked The Orchard as one of the top ten rental buildings on the Lower East Side
. Current rents
in the neighborhood have studios coming in at a median of $3,600/month, one-bedrooms at $3,995/month, and two-bedrooms at $4,050/month. Clearly, this is no longer your grandmother's Lower East Side.
