Don’t let the dwindling days of August fool you: It’s still patio season in New York City. Sure, you could celebrate by heading to your favorite restaurant with outdoor seating or visiting a friend’s rooftop deck. But wouldn’t you rather be soaking up some rays in your own outdoor space? Well, now you can: We’ve rounded up five of the very best — and affordable — NYC rentals with private outdoor space as part of their amenity lists. So slather on some sunscreen and start browsing! And if none of the below pique your interest, there’s so many more available apartments on StreetEasy.
We’re starting our list of NYC rentals with private outdoor space for under $3000 at the top end of our budget. This 1-bedroom apartment in Sunnyside is sleek and spacious, with tons of recent renovations. $2995 per month gets you gorgeous light wood kitchen cabinetry, a shiny breakfast island, and a picture-perfect bathroom. The massive living area has enough room for a sectional couch and leads directly out to a considerable private balcony that’s just begging for some plants. Bonus: the building offers parking, laundry, and a gym.
If you prefer vintage digs to modern abodes, we’ve got the perfect rental for you. This Sunset Park 1-bedroom is bursting with old school Brooklyn charm, from the bay window focal piece in the living area to the crown and panel molding throughout the home. A queen-size bedroom is accessible through a set of glamorous french doors. Beyond that lies the real reason we’re all here: a colossal backyard, complete with furnishings and a grill! Don’t miss the opportunity to rent this ideal barbecue spot for just $2300 per month.
We’ve got another cool contemporary offering for you, this time in Bed-Stuy. $2750 per month grants you access to a chic black-and-white color scheme throughout the unit, plus a space-efficient open kitchen. Storage is plentiful in the queen-size bedroom, and spa-level relaxation is at your fingertips with the soaking tub in the bathroom. The outdoor space options are plentiful, with both a private balcony off the living room and access to a shared rooftop deck.
Check out this handsome Hamilton Heights studio offered at $2395 per month. This dynamic corner unit is flush with natural light thanks to its numerous floor-to-ceiling windows. A deep closet in the main room provides storage galore, and the updated kitchen is a home chef’s dream. The private balcony offers sweeping Manhattan views, perfect for pensive sunset moments.
We truly saved the best for last with this unique Stuyvesant Heights 1-bedroom. We’re drooling over the gleaming parquet hardwood flooring and elegant wainscoting. Not to mention its massive 1,050 square-foot size that allows for separate living and dining areas. It’s $2900 per month to rent this slice of serenity, but personally we think the price tag is worth it for the private brick porch alone.
