Greenpoint and its North Brooklyn neighbor, Williamsburg, are always in demand. That keeps prices high, especially in Williamsburg. But deals can be a bit easier to find in Greenpoint, and our Rental of the Week is a perfect example. This Greenpoint 2BR has lots of big, sunny windows that keep things bright — with a cheerful price to match.
Best feature: Who doesn’t love big, bright, sunny windows? And this Greenpoint 2BR has plenty of them, which bounce the light off of handsome hardwood floors. Prewar touches add character, including window trim, tin ceilings, and a sharp decorative fireplace. Both bedrooms can fit a queen-size bed, and the kitchen is more than big enough for a comfortable dining set. It has stainless steel appliances as well. It would make a great share for roommates! In addition, our Rental of the Week is nicely located just two blocks from Msgr. McGolrick Park. And it’s only a few more blocks to the busy and beloved McCarren Park.
Why it’s a deal: Prices can be high in this popular neighborhood. The median asking rent in Greenpoint is $3,473, according to StreetEasy’s Data Dashboard. That puts our Rental of the Week at more than $1,100 per month below average for the area!

Biggest drawback: There is no floor plan on the listing, so it’s hard to tell exactly how this Greenpoint 2BR is laid out. It’s unclear whether the room with the fireplace is a shared living room, or one of the two bedrooms. In addition, the neighborhood does not have great subway access. It’s more than half a mile to the nearest G train stop, and nearly.
