5 NYC no-fee rentals in new developments with lots of amenities
This Crown Heights no-fee one bedroom is listed for $3,575 with two months free on a 14-month lease.
If you’re looking to rent an apartment in New York City and want to avoid paying a broker fee—typically 12 to 15 percent of the annual rent but in today’s competitive market it can be even higher—you will want to check out brand new rental buildings, where you have a lot of no-fee options these days that will help you save up thousands upfront.
Right now there are 428 no-fee apartments in new rental developments listed on StreetEasy, and some are also offering several months of free rent, a concession that’s hard to come by now. You can find these apartments across NYC, but most are in Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn and Queens. But of course since these are new apartments with lots of amenities, your rent will be higher than in a no-frills rental building.
What are the perks of a new development? Your place will most likely have central air, a dishwasher, in-unit laundry, and maybe even private outdoor space. Most of these buildings also have amenities like gyms, parking garages, co-working spaces, courtyards, roof decks, and doormen.
