Late summer is one of the busiest times of the year for NYC rentals, and this year is no exception. The week’s most popular rental listings on StreetEasy are a diverse group, including a rent-stabilized(!!) 2-bedroom in Sunset Park, an Art Deco apartment in a historic Cobble Hill building, and a prewar home in Stuyvesant Heights. As usual, you can also find countless other options on StreetEasy.
In Stuyvesant Heights, this 2-bedroom inside an 1899-built multifamily home has beautiful, classic details. The big living room boasts two large windows and hardwood floors, while a decorative period fireplace and moldings throughout the room add prewar touches. The kitchen is outfitted with checkerboard floors and cherry cabinets, as well as a dishwasher. The primary bedroom is a true gem with soaring bay windows, its own decorative fireplace, and more pretty moldings.
Up and over in nearby Cobble Hill, this 1-bedroom has a different vibe but an equally pretty feel. Set in Cobble Hill Towers, a historic building with redesigned interiors, the home features Art Deco design. The living area shines with hardwood floors and two casement windows set in the corner of the room, bringing in light from two different directions. You’ll find more casement windows in the bedroom, while the updated kitchen includes subway tiling and a dishwasher. Residents also have access to the building’s two private gardens, bike storage, a laundry room, and a live-in super.
This lovely Sutton Place 1-bedroom is warm and airy. Two large windows make the living room fill with natural light. The bedroom, which connects to the living room via a pretty set of French doors (which also bring in light), has its own sizable window. There’s also a dishwasher in the kitchen and a marble tiled bathroom.
This Sunset Park 2-bedroom has the absolute best phrase you can find in a listing: rent-stabilized. It’s also been recently updated. The unit boasts a large kitchen and a number of sizable windows, including ones in the kitchen and bathroom. A great and rare find!
We’re staying in Brooklyn for this last find: a sunny and bright studio in Crown Heights at an unbeatable price. Relatively spacious for a studio, it features a small but separate kitchen area, hardwood floors, and even a hanging light fixture. The home is conveniently located near plenty of subway lines, as well as Prospect Park and neighborhood bars, restaurants, and cafes.
