Time for a maritime move? Check out the listings at these 17 NYC Ferry stops

Apartments located within walking distance to a NYC subway stop are always touted as attractive. After all, fewer steps to the train mean a shorter commute to work.

But what about the NYC Ferry?

Don’t overlook proximity to the cityโ€™s public network of ferry boats as a perk. If you’re on the hunt for a new apartment, and your office happens to be near a ferry stop, consider one of the neighborhoods featured on this map:

Methodology

Released on a monthly basis, the RentHop Best Deal series aims to provide renters with useful market insights and a chance to identify rental gems currently available on the market. These listings are hand-selected by the team at RentHop based on a few factors, including layout, apartment size, features, and more importantly, price โ€” such listings will be on average 10% – 30% below the median asking price of other similar-sized listings in the same neighborhood.

Note that, given the fast-paced nature of the rental market in New York, certain listings may receive applications and be taken off within days on market. If you are interested in scheduling a showing or have further questions, please make sure to submit an inquiry via the inquiry submission form located on the listing page.
