Brooklyn is a popular borough for renters who seek large units, amenities, and proximity to hot spots across the city. The borough features many neighborhoods with unique communities, and renters flock to Brooklyn to evade Manhattan’s pricing.
This month, the average rental price for a New York City apartment increased to $4,150. Renters can still appreciate a less competitive market with lower prices and will find more opportunities as the market warms up. The following units under $2,500 offer eat-in kitchens, exposed brick, and access to building amenities.
