The results are in! Of StreetEasy’s top 10 NYC neighborhoods to watch in 2021, the number one hot ‘hood is… Greenpoint, Brooklyn. As more New Yorkers work from home and find public transit less important, this appealing area is becoming increasingly popular. And prices are lower than in neighboring Williamsburg. Here are 7 great Greenpoint rentals available right now.
Our first Greenpoint rental is a massive 3-bedroom in a well-maintained house that dates back to 1930. The original hardwoods and decorative ceilings are standouts. Other features, such as the wood paneling in some rooms, might not be everyone’s cup of tea. But with three roommates paying less than $750 per month each, that’s easy to overlook!

Here’s another $2,200 Greenpoint rental, and this one really checks all the boxes. Plenty of sun? Check. In-unit laundry? Check. New appliances, including a dishwasher? Check. Plus, the bedrooms in this 700-square-foot home are on opposite ends of the apartment, allowing for great privacy. Listed by Tony Worrell of REAL New York.
This newly renovated unit has two large bedrooms, one in front and one in back. It’s outfitted throughout in gorgeous dark hardwood floors. That color scheme continues in the kitchen with dark cabinetry. An earth-toned backsplash brings a chic feeling to the whole thing. And a stainless steel dishwasher never hurts, right? The bathroom is also brand new, with a glass-walled shower. This Greenpoint rental is listed by its owner, who can be reached on the listing.
Next up is a 1-bedroom with a bonus room that could be used as a dining space or a home office. That’s a rare feature at this price point. Also rare? Loads of storage space and granite counters in the brand-new kitchen. And if transportation is a must-have for you, this place definitely delivers. It’s less than a block from the G train.

This 1-bedroom Greenpoint rental has a feature we haven’t seen yet. It’s right near McCarren Park. So you’ll always have room to social distance or soak up some sun. The apartment itself is also remarkably bright, with nice tall windows. The finishes are not super-updated here, unfortunately. But think of that as a plus, because it means you get to enjoy the vintage decorative fireplace. Listed by Matthew Taylor of Realty Collective.

And here’s another great spot right near McCarren Park. This modern Greenpoint rental is a duplex, with a spiral staircase connecting the living area to the bedroom. The result is a layout that’s super flexible, with space for a home office, den, or even a second bedroom. The building is also stacked with amenities, including laundry and a gym.

We have a thing for old fireplaces, but hey, who doesn’t? The final Greenpoint rental on our tour has a great one, the towering focal point of a spacious living room. But there’s more, including glossy hardwood floors, high ceilings, and a kitchen skylight. And it’s all just one block from McCarren Park. Listed by Matthew Morris of Highline Residential.
