Room for two
Apartments for two at The Astelle
Two-bedroom layouts built for a two-person household: a shared kitchen, two real bedrooms, and space for a home office, three blocks from the 6 train.
Two people, real room
A two-bedroom home gives two people room to share without crowding
When two people share a home, square footage is the whole story. A one-bedroom asks two schedules, two work setups, and two sets of belongings to overlap in a single room. A two-bedroom layout at The Astelle gives each person their own space to retreat to, a shared kitchen and living area to come together in, and a second bedroom that can be a real home office instead of a corner of the couch.
That extra room changes daily life for a two-person household. One person can take an early call while the other sleeps. Two people can work from home on the same afternoon without elbowing for desk space. The home flexes around two routines instead of forcing them into one, and that is what a household of two is really shopping for.

What the two-bedroom plan does for two
The two-bedroom collection is The Astelle's focus right now. Here is how the plan earns its square footage when two people live in it.
Two real bedrooms, not one and a half
Both bedrooms are full rooms with closets and windows, so neither person is stuck in an interior box. One becomes the primary bedroom and the other can be a genuine second bedroom or a dedicated home office, your call.
A shared kitchen with room to gather
The open kitchen and living area is where a two-person household actually overlaps. There is counter space for two cooks, room for a real dining table, and an open sightline so one person cooking is still part of the room.
Space for a home office
The second bedroom is large enough to hold a desk, a chair, and a door that closes, the thing a one-bedroom can never give. For a household where one or both people work from home, that door is the difference between a workday and a long evening.
Two schedules
Amenities that hold up to two routines
A two-person household runs on two clocks, and the building's shared spaces give those clocks somewhere to go. The 24-hour fitness center means one person can train at dawn and the other at night without leaving the building. The resident lounge and library give a second quiet room beyond the apartment, useful when both people are home and one needs space.
On-site enclosed parking, a full-time doorman, and a pet-friendly policy round out the practical side of sharing a home. Two people, two cars or none, a dog between them, the building is built to absorb a household of two without friction.

Questions about sharing a home here
Is a two-bedroom worth it for two people?
For most two-person households, yes. The second bedroom gives each person space to retreat to and room for a real home office, which a one-bedroom cannot. It is square footage, not luxury for its own sake, that makes sharing comfortable.
Can the second bedroom work as a home office?
Yes. The second bedroom is a full room with a window and a door that closes, large enough to hold a desk and a chair. For a household where one or both people work from home, it doubles cleanly as a dedicated office.
Are the two-bedroom homes good for two incomes?
They are sized for two people to share comfortably, and applying with two incomes or with roommates is a normal, welcome path. The leasing team confirms the application details for the specific residence you want.
How far is the 6 train?
The 6 train at 3 Av-138 St is about three blocks from The Astelle, roughly a 25-minute ride to Grand Central. For a two-person household with two commutes, that short walk to the subway matters on both ends of the day.
Can two people both work from home here?
Yes. With two real bedrooms plus the open living area and the resident library, two people can take calls and work the same afternoon without competing for the same desk. The layout is built to flex around two routines.
