New York City can certainly be a pricey place to live. Many of the lucrative rental concessions that were given to renters in the previous year due to COVID-19 are about to expire and as such we’re seeing an increase in demand from renters who are about to priced-out from their current apartments. As such, we have not yet seen an increase in the number of concessions offered by landlords.
Thankfully, Brooklyn, as always, has affordable options remaining for renters who want to be close by to Manhattan but still far enough from the hustle and bustle of the city. Countless restaurants and gorgeous parks (McCarren Park and Prospect Park to name a few) certainly bolster this borough’s appeal. If you want quick access to the many perks NYC has to offer without breaking the bank, peruse the list below for some of the best Brooklyn rental deals this May.
