Indeed, New York City can be a pricey place to live. There’s a surge of demand from incoming renters, but a lack of supply. We’re seeing less concessions from landlords and prices are going up across the different boroughs.
Brooklyn, however, might still be a more affordable alternative. Countless restaurants and gorgeous parks (McCarren Park and Prospect Park to name a few) certainly bolster this borough’s appeal. So if you want quick access to the many perks NYC has to offer without breaking the bank, peruse the list below for some of the best Brooklyn rental deals this August.
