Frequently asked questions
How many apartments for rent are available in New York City?
Roomster currently has 258 apartments for rent across New York City - studios and 1- and 2-bedroom units spread across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Inventory turns over continuously, and Manhattan listings tend to move fastest. Outer-borough inventory is deeper and stays available longer, so if you're flexible on location you'll have more to work with.
What are the most affordable neighborhoods to rent an apartment in New York City?
For renters watching their budget, Washington Heights, Inwood, Flatbush, East New York, and Astoria are the neighborhoods that come up most. Washington Heights and Inwood sit at the top of Manhattan - studios and 1-bedrooms run $1,700-$2,200/month, with A and 1 train access to Midtown. Flatbush and East New York in Brooklyn typically land at $1,500-$2,000/month for a 1-bedroom, though the commute to Midtown takes longer. In Queens, Astoria, Jackson Heights, and Woodside offer some of the best value in the city - dense and walkable, with 1-bedrooms around $1,800-$2,400.
How much does it cost to rent an apartment in New York City?
Manhattan is expensive - that's not news. A studio below 96th Street runs $2,500-$4,000/month; a 1-bedroom is easily $3,000-$5,500 depending on the block. Go above 96th to Harlem or Washington Heights and it drops - studios from $1,700, 1-bedrooms from $2,000. In Brooklyn, a 1-bedroom in Williamsburg or Park Slope runs $2,200-$3,500, while Bushwick, Crown Heights, or Flatbush come in at $1,700-$2,400. Queens is the most affordable borough for whole apartments: Astoria and Long Island City run $1,900-$2,800 for a 1-bedroom. Always check whether heat and hot water are included - older prewar buildings in the outer boroughs often cover it, Manhattan high-rises rarely do.
Are there apartments for rent in NYC with no broker fee?
Yes - and in New York this is a bigger deal than anywhere else. The traditional broker fee ran 12-15% of the annual rent, charged to the tenant upfront. On a $2,800/month apartment that's $4,032-$5,040 due before you even move in, stacked on top of first month's rent and a security deposit. The FARE Act, which took effect in 2025, now requires the party that hired the broker - typically the landlord - to cover that cost. Roomster listings come directly from landlords and property owners, so there's no broker in the transaction. You deal directly and skip the fee entirely.
Are furnished apartments for rent available in New York City?
Yes, and they're most common in Midtown, Chelsea, the East Village, and Williamsburg. Corporate relocations, academic appointments, and short-term work contracts drive steady demand for furnished units in NYC, so the supply exists year-round. A furnished apartment typically includes a bed, sofa, desk, and kitchen essentials; many fold in WiFi and utilities too. Expect to pay a $300-$600/month premium over a comparable unfurnished unit. For people arriving in New York without a truck and without time to furnish a place from scratch, that premium is usually worth it.
What is the best site to find apartments for rent in New York?
Roomster stands out for NYC apartment searches because every listing goes through ID and address screening before it goes live. In a city where fake listings, bait-and-switch scams, and apartments that were rented out last week are genuine problems, that baseline matters. Listings come directly from landlords and property owners - no broker, no commission, no middleman. Filters for price, borough, furnished status, pet policy, and move-in date get you to the right listing faster than scrolling through pages of irrelevant results.
