Just realized that if the window is lower than 40" from the floor you won't be able to run a counter underneath. If so, your idea of an L-shape along walls B and A is best. Refrigerator should be in corner B/C. I'd try and get the sink towards the window along wall A to maximize natural light. Stove would be in between, probably along wall A at corner of counter.

@RappArchitecture Thank you so much! Great suggestions. We do rent our apartment, but have lived here for 6 years, hoping to live here another 6 more. Our landlord is on board with the renovations, but is leaving it up to us to help determine the best layout and functionality.

Yes, unfortunately the tall window on Wall D is only 24" off the ground and is the fire escape, so there's not much we can do there.... I agree that an L-Shape on walls B & A is probably the best option here. Any opinions on corner cabinets vs corner sink?

Thanks again!

I wouldn't do a corner sink, but that's just a personal preference. If it works best for the whole layout, then you should do it, but it does take up more floor space.

I would consider putting the sink in the corner. Corners are usually waisted space and are really awkward. We try to always get rid of them in our designs. So usually the space under the sink is hard to utilize well. By putting the sink in the corner you are freeing up 30" (or the width of a sink) space for drawers to store dishes and pots - better use of space. But yes visually, corner sink is less stylish/ modern.

Thanks so much @Reach Design. Great considerations! I suppose our new limit will be how narrow our apartment door is.... SIGH.....

I dont know what size fridge u have but if u went with somthing a little smaller than the 36 inch big ones. Then you would have a few more inches of counterspace. The 9 inch cabinets are awesome for storing baking sheets. Cutting boards and shallow pants vertically. Havung it right next to the stove helps. And u still are able to have a bit of countertop next to the stove instead of your pots and pan handles hitting the side of the fridge when you cook. And check out the easy reach base cornee cabinets they are awesome!

Oh i forgot about the window. U might just stop the cabinet at the dishwasher and then continue the countertop to the wall with the window and stick you trash can under there.
