Frequently asked questions

  • How many apartments for rent are in Greenpoint now that the waterfront has been rezoned?

    The 2005 rezoning changed the numbers dramatically. City planners expected about 10,500 new homes across the 175 rezoned blocks of Greenpoint and Williamsburg; developers have built more than 19,600, with another 2,500 permitted, most of them in waterfront high-rises. In Greenpoint that means a new layer of towers along the East River on top of the older stock inland: tenements, frame houses and railroad apartments around Manhattan Avenue. The two markets barely overlap on price, so decide which one you want before you search. Roomster's live tally of Greenpoint apartments for rent is 1, and the waterfront's share keeps growing as Greenpoint Landing's remaining towers open.

  • How much does it cost to rent an apartment in Greenpoint after this year's increases?

    Greenpoint rents have climbed fast, with the overall average up about 19 percent in a year to roughly $5,530. Studios average about $3,690 to $4,060 depending on the source, one-bedrooms land between $4,800 and $5,360, and two-bedrooms run from about $6,050 to $7,130. Much of the gap within each size is old against new: a railroad one-bedroom in a walk-up off Manhattan Avenue and a one-bedroom with a balcony at Greenpoint Landing are different products. Studios and small one-bedrooms for under $3,500 a month mostly turn up in prewar buildings east of McGuinness Boulevard and near the Nassau Avenue G, while the waterfront towers set the top of the market.

  • Can I rent an affordable apartment at Greenpoint Landing?

    Yes, if your income fits. Greenpoint Landing, a 22-acre development on half a mile of East River waterfront, is planned for about 5,500 apartments, roughly 1,400 of them permanently affordable. In April 2024 the city opened 374 affordable homes at 35 Commercial Street, a 22-story tower, for households earning between 30 and 110 percent of area median income, with studio rents starting just over $400 a month and 57 apartments set aside for formerly homeless New Yorkers. These apartments are filled through NYC Housing Connect lotteries rather than ordinary listings, so register there and watch for new buildings on the site. The market-rate towers beside them, such as the 745-unit Eagle + West, rent at the top of the neighborhood's range.

  • Are there apartments for rent in Greenpoint with an easy Manhattan commute?

    Yes, but the easy commute depends on which edge of Greenpoint you rent on. Apartments on the northern blocks near McGuinness Boulevard and Box Street are a short walk from the Pulaski Bridge, whose protected bike and pedestrian path crosses Newtown Creek into Long Island City, where the 7 train at Vernon Boulevard-Jackson Avenue reaches Grand Central in one stop under the East River. Apartments by the water near India Street have the ferry at their door. The central blocks rely on the G, which means a transfer for most Manhattan trips. Ask yourself which of the three you would use every day, then time the walk from the apartment, since a ten-minute difference to the bridge or the landing decides whether the commute works.

  • Are there rent-stabilized apartments for rent in Greenpoint?

    Some, mostly in pre-1974 buildings of six units or more, many of them along Manhattan Avenue and the side streets near it. Ask the landlord, or request the unit's rent history from the state, before you sign. Stabilized leases that begin between October 2026 and September 2027 carry no increase after the Rent Guidelines Board's freeze. Much of Greenpoint's housing, though, is small two- and three-family frame houses, which fall outside stabilization and usually outside Good Cause Eviction too, because the law exempts owners of ten or fewer units. In the waterfront towers, buildings completed in 2009 or later are exempt from Good Cause for 30 years, apart from their income-restricted units, so market-rate renewals there are a matter of negotiation.

  • What fees and utility costs come with renting an apartment in Greenpoint?

    Fewer fees than a few years ago. Under the FARE Act, effective June 11, 2025, a broker the owner hired cannot pass the commission to you, and many Greenpoint walk-ups are let directly by small owners who never used a broker. State law holds the security deposit to a single month's rent and the application charge to $20. The costs to watch differ between the two markets here. In the waterfront towers it is monthly amenity and package fees on top of rent. In older frame houses and walk-ups it is utilities, since heat or hot water may run on a gas or electric bill in your name rather than being included. Ask which utilities you pay before comparing rents, because a cheaper apartment with tenant-paid heat can cost more over a winter.
