Tribeca was the most expensive neighborhood for rentals in 2024 with a median asking rent of $8,295, according to StreetEasy.<\/p>\n
Following Tribeca, SoHo ($6,100) and Flatiron ($5,900) rounded out the list of the top three priciest neighborhoods for those wanting to rent in Gotham.<\/p>\n
Brooklyn then made the list at No. 4 with asking prices in Dumbo coming in at about $5,750.<\/p>\n
And beyond wanting to live in Manhattan over any other borough, New Yorkers \u2014 and aspiring New Yorkers \u2014 were on the hunt for several amenities.<\/p>\n
Renters searching for an apartment in the Big Apple were hoping to find a place with in-unit laundry, dishwashers, a pet-friendly spaces, laundry in the building (if the first one didn\u2019t work out) and an elevator, in that order \u2014 wouldn\u2019t that be nice?<\/p>\n
\u201cPets allowed\u201d saw a 200% year-over-year increase in search volume among rental listings, \u201coutdoor space\u201d jumped 128% and \u201cpool\u201d rose 61%.<\/p>\n
These new additions are likely happening over the bridge in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n
Dumbo had the largest growth in rental inventory in 2024 growing 82%.<\/p>\n
The Bronx pulled through with Mott Haven jumping 63% now offering 2,653 rentals.<\/p>\n
But Brooklyn continued to have the biggest expansion with Greenpoint increasing by 36%, East Flatbush growing 32% and Prospect Lefferts Gardens developing 25%.<\/p>\n
Despite the growth, searching for an apartment in the city is as difficult as ever as wannabe renters compete to secure any space \u2014 much less an affordable one.<\/p>\n
In August 2024, the median asking rent for apartments in Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, and Brooklyn was $3,425 \u2014 a $76 increase from a year ago.<\/p>\n
The Big Apple\u2019s median rent price is nearly double the national median of $1,753; it is one of the only major cities where rents are still rising, with the exception of a few neighborhoods.<\/p>\n
A study from StreetEasy found that house hunters searching for a new lease to sign may want to look at Prospect Lefferts Gardens in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n
There, the median asking rent in October hit $2,850, marking a 5% year-over-year decrease \u2014 the largest annual decline tallied city-wide in the report.<\/p>\n
As the search for affordable housing continues, renters may need to get creative with their searches or consider moving to up-and-coming neighborhoods. But for those who have already secured a good lease, they can take comfort in knowing they are part of a lucky few.<\/p>\n
