What to look for in a one-bedroom apartment in NoHo
One-Bedroom Apartments come with specific considerations that vary by building and neighborhood. In NoHo specifically, these are the factors that matter most:

- •Closet count and configuration
- •Storage beyond closets (under-bed, pantry, outdoor storage)
