Maximizing Your Railroad Apartment's Potential
Railroad apartments, with their distinctive long and narrow layout where rooms connect in sequence like train cars, are iconic to New York City living. These historic floor-through apartments, dating back to the mid-19th century, present unique challenges and incredible opportunities.
What makes railroad apartments special? Their linear design creates natural separation between living spaces while maintaining an open flow. However, they often feature outdated layouts, poor lighting, and inefficient use of space that modern families need.
At Zicklin Contracting, we’ve mastered railroad apartment renovations over three decades. We transform these unique spaces into bright, functional homes that respect architectural character while meeting modern lifestyle demands.
