What $2,700 rents in NYC right now

Welcome to Curbed Comparisons, a weekly column that explores what one can rent for a set dollar amount in various NYC neighborhoods. Is one man’s studio another man’s townhouse? Let’s find out! Today, we’re looking at apartments renting around $2,700/month.

Bushwick

A renovated two-bedroom in Bushwick is going for $2,700/month, though that price reflects two months of free rent added to a yearlong lease. The apartment has brand new appliances (including a washer/dryer) but still has some of the old exposed brick. The building is a couple of blocks from the Kosciuszko Street stop on the J train.

Hamilton Heights

East Village

A renovated East Village one-bedroom with no broker’s fee is renting for $2,725/month. The bedroom is king sized, and there are ceiling fans in the living room and bedroom. The apartment is located on the corner of Second Avenue and 3rd Street in prime East Village.

Brooklyn Heights

In Brooklyn Heights, a one-bedroom in a building on Montague Street is renting for $2,700/month. It’s not the newest apartment, but it does have plenty of pre-war charm—a decorative fireplace, inlaid floors, and more. It’s a quick walk from there to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, and there are plenty of transit options nearby.
