Did Neal move apartments between Broken and the events of Manhattan. Perhaps getting the Storybrooke postcard inspired him to move?
Neal’s apartment- Broken
Neal’s apartment- Manhattan

It’s such a big difference though. It’s not something minor like different wallpaper where you could probably say Neal redecorated. He’s moved his desk and apparently created an extra room at the same time. 😆

Keeper of FelixThere is also a other entrance. I thought he moved. You know after hearing of the curse to be broken. He moved that his father could find him, when Rumpel asks Pinocchio, where he is. Emma said that he is on the run and trying not to give hints of himself. Maybe he thought the old appartment is too easy to find, because more people did know him.

It’s the same apt.
Notice the bookshelf and part of the Cleaner’s and Hatter’s sign behind the pic of Emma and Henry
They just never showed the other room – the foot of his bed is ‘pointing’ at it.@Gypsy wrote:

They just never showed the other room – the foot of his bed is ‘pointing’ at it.I doubt they originally intended to have another room back in “Broken”, with his bed sharing the same space as the living room. I think this is just a case of a change coming out of plot necessity: K&H didn’t want Neal to lay eyes on Henry the moment he burst through the door, so they had Neal’s apartment expanded so they could have Henry hide there until the right moment comes for father and son to meet.
That set could have been in NY since they really did film in NY, though they said that was more gorilla style. But, in-show it makes plenty of sense because Neal could have gotten spooked after August showed up and he moved. Either way, it’s too obvious that it’s not the same place… considering in Broken he had a studio apartment and in Manhattan he now has an actual bedroom.
I was trying to make a case in my mind of Neal just moving the furniture around, but the problem of the extra room kind of negates that, I agree that the change was borne of necessity. They just needed more space for the scenes to play out as written,
The layout of the main room, with the door directly across from the window, (which looks like the same window) is still the same, and in both you can see the green hallway outside his front door. So I’d say they just expanded the set out of necessity and hoped no one would notice.

Terrible feng shui to have the foot of the bed pointing at the gaping void of a doorway between rooms. No wonder he had nightmares.
