First up on our list of Williamsburg rentals for $3,000 or less is this stylish 1-bedroom unit. For $2,850 per month you get access to a sleek kitchen with an impressive appliance package, generous bedroom with tons of natural light, and soothing bathroom complete with a soaking tub. A massive closet sits in the living space, making umbrella, bag, and coat storage a breeze. And the best part is that it’s just blocks away from gorgeous McCarren Park, where you can stroll, bike, run, or even swim.

Whimsical doesn’t even begin to cover this next home! It’s housed in a building from 1895 that immediately sets the tone with a colorful stained glass door and unique tiling in the foyer. The artistic details continue in the unit itself: each doorway is set in elegant trim and one bedroom boasts electric blue walls. Three oversized exposures flood the living room and kitchen in natural light and illuminate the stunning original hardwood floors throughout. At $3,000 per month this rental is admittedly at the top of our established price range, but there’s no doubt that you’d be paying for history and character.

If you’re wanting something a little bit more modern, look no further than this $2,790 per month loft. It features a soothing white, beige, and brown color palette, plus convenient touches such as recessed lighting. An open kitchen maximizes space efficiency, and its large, flexible layout means there are literally countless ways for you to organize your furniture exactly to your liking. A private patio is accessible via oversized glass doors off the main room, allowing for even more living and relaxing space. 

You get the best of both Williamsburg and neighboring Bushwick in our next featured rental. This apartment is full of quintessential NYC motifs such as exposed brick, gleaming hardwood, and high ceilings. It’s a true 2-bedroom home, with room enough for queen beds and extra furnishings in both rooms – not to mention the abundance of closet space provided! And the best part is that the $3,000 per month rent can be easily split with a partner or roommate.

Cozy country cottage or cool urban oasis? Turns out, our last featured Williamsburg rental is both! Unique design details such as exposed wood beams and rustic light fixtures above the eat-in kitchen counter make this apartment feel extra homey, while the built-in bedroom storage and private outdoor terrace provide the sweet convenience of city life. And at $2,600 per month, this is the most affordable rental on our list. Nice!
