If you’re on the hunt for a new NYC apartment, you may have seen the terms "junior” or “flex apartment" flying around. Wondering what that is? We’ve got the definitions here to help you decide which type of Manhattan apartment is right for you.  

At StuyTown, a junior or flex apartment is designed with additional walled-off rooms for extra private space that can be used as a home office, den, or additional bedroom. These apartments provide a more affordable alternative than "true" two, three, or four bedroom apartments, giving you more flexibility and options. Apartments like these are great for roommates and allow you to split a more affordable rent while living  in the East Village, the heart of Manhattan. The next time you’re trying to hang a curtain or use a room divider to create room separation, consider moving to a StuyTown flex/junior apartment instead. 

You can still expect the same features of all other StuyTown apartments in your junior or flex apartment, like renovated kitchens, ample closet space, hardwood floors, and sun-filled rooms. Plus, you’ll get to take advantage of all of the amenities that StuyTown has to offer, including StuyFitness, Five Stuy Cafe, the Oval Lawn, basketball courts, and more on our 80-acres.
