Skip the Subway! 5 Rentals Near NYC Ferry Service

We start with a treat: A spacious 3-bedroom in a quaint Astoria townhouse. And we do mean spacious — there’s 1,300 square feet of room to spread out! There’s a fantastic kitchen, great windows, and in-unit laundry. And the NYC ferry landing is just three minutes away. More waterfront fun is nearby, too, including Hallett’s Cove Beach and Socrates Sculpture Park. This apartment is for rent by its owner, who can be contacted on the listing.

This Fort Greene 2-bedroom might be the home you and your roomie are dreaming of. It’s set in an old-school building and has lots of charming exposed brick. There’s a big, renovated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher. Plus there’s a laundry room in the basement, and a shared backyard, too. The location is close to the NYC ferry service at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Listed by Matthew Morris and Devin Pownall of Highline Residential.

Red Hook is not convenient to subways. But happily, the waterfront neighborhood is well served by NYC ferries. This floor-through unit is just a few blocks from the river. It’s super-close to the restaurants and bars on Van Brunt Street, too. (Including the beloved Red Hook Lobster Pound!) But the kitchen is the real star here. It’s outfitted with a five-burner stove, a dual dishwasher, and a vented washer/dryer. Listed by Abraham Calderon of Corcoran.

Calling all loft lovers! This industrial-chic 1-bedroom feels equal parts warehouse and luxury condo. The sleek kitchen’s finishes match the vibe, as do the huge casement windows. The bathroom is gorgeous too. And there’s in-unit laundry nestled into its own adjacent closet. The NYC ferry stop in Greenpoint can get you to both 34th Street and Wall Street.
