THE BOROUGH AT A GLANCE
Where each Brooklyn neighborhood fits.
Tap a neighborhood on the map or in the list. We start from where you will work or study, then narrow down by budget, building type and commute.
WHAT TO COMPARE
The neighborhood, the building and the journey you make most.
Brooklyn ranges from waterfront apartment buildings to brownstone streets and busy neighborhood centers, so we compare all three together.
Homes and buildings
Options include brownstone apartments, walk-ups, condos and larger rental buildings. Space and amenities can differ considerably from one listing to the next.
- Layout and storage compared with the asking rent
- Laundry, heating and building services
- Application documents the landlord asks for
- Costs due before move-in
Getting around
Check your subway route and any transfers. A neighborhood’s distance from Manhattan does not tell the whole story of the commute.
- Your subway line and the walk to the station
- Transfers on your daily route
- Evening and weekend service
- Door-to-door time at your usual hours
A SEARCH FROM ABROAD
Rent in Brooklyn without visiting first.
We start from your priorities: where you will work or study, your budget and the kind of home you prefer. We shortlist apartments that match, arrange live video tours that show light, noise, storage and the block outside, and explain each landlord’s requirements and costs before you apply.
If you are new to renting in New York, our guides explain the documents landlords ask for and what to do without a US credit history.
