Forget Williamsburg and Bushwick! New York City’s coolest neighborhood is now Ridgewood. This Queens enclave was named the “4th Coolest Neighborhood in the World” by Timeout magazine, thanks to Ridgewood’s restaurants, shops, and walkability. Ready to check it out? Here are the top 5 rentals in Ridgewood.
We kick off our tour of Ridgewood rentals with this oversized 2-bedroom. Renovations deliver new hardwoods, a new kitchen with dishwasher, a new bathroom and central air. Flex space means there’s a home office, too. Windows in every room. Heat and hot water are included. Walk to the L train at Halsey.
The Ridgewood boom is reflected in this new-construction rental building called The Strand. Apartments there like this well-appointed 1-bedroom (dishwasher, in-unit washer/dryer) are being offered with incentives. Two months free drops the rent to $2,587 based on an 18-month lease. The building is loaded, too: Parking, gym, media room.
Crisp and clean, this freshly renovated 2-bedroom delivers lots of perks. There are new hardwoods, a new kitchen with dishwasher, AC splits, an inviting soaking tub, plus access to the building’s gym, roof deck, game room and laundry. More good news? There’s no broker fee and pets are welcome.
The transformation of the Ridgewood Theatre into compelling rentals was a bellwether development for Ridgewood’s uptick to “cool.” This brilliant 1-bedroom offers a loft-like space with high ceilings, oversized windows, blond hardwoods and central air. The former theater was uniquely transformed into an oasis of fun: Gym, roof deck, laundry room, game room and pet spa.
We end our tour of cool Ridgewood rentals with this condo-like 2-bedroom. It’s a great share thanks to a pair of queen-size bedrooms each with excellent closet space. The open kitchen boasts a quartz breakfast bar, dishwasher and in-unit washer/dryer. Love that walk-in shower in the fully-tiled bathroom. Walk to all the great restaurants, bars and shops.
