Affordable & furnished apartments in Greenpoint

Take a stroll through this neighborhood nestled between Long Island City and Williamsburg, and you’ll have no shortage of things to do and people to see.

Greenpoint is a neighborhood in the northern part of New York. The area is still actively developing. You can already find here a large number of cafes and restaurants (we will tell you a little more later, there is something to talk about here), parks and a beautiful promenade. It seems like everything you need for life is here. Greenpoint is ideal for those who want a quiet and measured life.

But there is still one problem — the average rental price in Greenpoint is high, and has been rising from year to year for the third year in a row. For example, the average rental price for an apartment at the end of 2020 in Greenpoint was approximately $2,650. A year later, the price rose to $3,500. Now the price has shot up again. Finding Greenpoint apartments with everything you need for life may be somewhat difficult. But we will help you solve it. We will also tell you more about Greenpoint and its apartments. Perhaps you will change your mind about coming here and choose another area. For example, think about living in Ridgewood — a quiet and peaceful area. This area is located not too far from Greenpoint, if that matters to you. In addition, the problem of high rent here is not so serious. But, unfortunately, Ridgewood will not be able to offer you a picturesque view of the East River.The choice is yours.

Let’s talk about Greenpoint

Greenpoint has a truly informal atmosphere. Polish traditional restaurants and cafes stand next to innovative live music venues. Why did we mention Poland? The area has a large population of Polish Americans. Therefore, if you ever wanted to try dumplings, bigos, or galantine (traditional Polish dishes) — you can find it all here.

The Greenpoint residents are also known for their solidarity and are always willing to speak up if local authorities make life more difficult for them or act against them. It also houses a large number of former warehouses that have been converted into art galleries and workshops. This suggests that a large number of creative personalities live in Greenpoint.

You can also join hipster culture or visit modern places if you want! Greenpoint has a large number of bars and cocktail venues with their own breweries. In addition, these establishments offer tables outside almost all year round. There are indeed many places to visit here. Greenpoint is one of the hippest neighborhoods in Brooklyn.

And next door to Greenpoint is Williamsburg, with a gorgeous waterfront on the East River and some beautiful views of Manhattan. Also here you can find a large number of trendy restaurants, shops, and cafes. These restaurants try not only to follow trends but to create them and make others follow the latest fashion. Security in the area is also pretty reliable — you have nothing to worry about.

All of this allows you to see and taste things you won’t find anywhere else in Brooklyn. So who wouldn’t want to find Greenpoint, Brooklyn apartments and experience new and fascinating things? But, unfortunately, nothing is perfect.


What are the cons?

As already mentioned, life in Greenpoint apartments is not cheap. This doesn’t just apply to rent. In addition, this area can hardly be called quiet. High traffic, a lot of people — all this will not suit those who are looking for a quiet life.

But if you want to experience dense urban life, living in a Greenpoint apartment is perfect for you. Along with this, you also get access to a number of benefits and the developed infrastructure of the area.

You should also pay attention to your job search. If you fail to find a job in Greenpoint, getting a job in another area will be problematic. The journey can take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour, or even longer if the workplace is too far away from your apartment.

If Greenpoint apartments do not suit you, try to find housing in another area where it will be easier to work. For example, you might want to consider the Bushwick neighborhood. Finding a job will be relatively easy in Bushwick, and there are also jobs in nearby areas. However, this neighborhood is even more expensive. But if you can afford it, there are many benefits to living in one of Brooklyn’s most exclusive neighborhoods. Among them are a high level of security and wide access to different amenities. A favorable location will help you find everything you need for a comfortable life. Bushwick is Ridgewood’s «neighbor», if that matters to you. It won’t be that difficult to find a suitable job in such circumstances.


So where can I rent in Greenpoint?

People want to find Greenpoint apartments in NYC at a reasonable price while still remaining comfortable. Unfortunately, it’s not easy to put it together. Especially if you try to find housing on your own without such experience. In this situation, it is advisable to contact a company that offers rental services. They often offer competitive rental prices and offer at least some sort of safety guarantee for rental apartments.

One of the largest and probably the most well-known rental companies in New York stays the Outpost Club.

What to look for when choosing a rental company?

Pay attention to the details of the services of a particular company. For example, Outpost might offer you the following:

  1. Furniture — everyone wants to rent furnished housing! That’s why whichever place you rent with Outpost, you will find all the necessary furniture and other amenities in the apartment.
  2. Safety — automated Nest Systems will monitor you and your property in the apartment. You have nothing to worry about.
  3. Bills — you must be tired of filling out all these papers. They will be filled out for you.
  4. Cleaning — surely you are tired of not only filling out bills, but also cleaning up the apartment. Don’t worry, all your common spaces will also be clean. But we’ll talk about that a little later.
  5. You can rent an apartment without furniture — then the rent will be even cheaper.

Have you heard of shared apartments or co-living spaces? It’s when you rent an apartment with several other people. Each of you has your own room, but you share the kitchen, hallway, and so on. Having each of you pay a part of the rent makes it much more affordable.

But perhaps you are worried that your neighbors will not be very good people? Or that they will give you problems? Or for some other reason? Let’s talk about this further.

Outpost in more detail

More specifically, Outpost is not just a rental company. This is a whole community. And this community holds regular events for all its members. BBQs, movies, cycling, and so on. These are all effective ways to make new friends in a new apartment. Perhaps some of them will come from the other side of the Earth and you will experience a new culture?

Everyone who wishes to join this community must pass a mandatory background check for each member entering the apartment. And you will go through this too. It means that your neighbors will at least be decent people and won’t cause you any trouble.

But if you are still afraid, you can call your best friend or partner. And rent an apartment together in Greenpoint. You can choose to rent an entire apartment for yourself. This option is more expensive, and no one will clean the apartment for you. But the whole apartment belongs to you only!

If you are not confident in our judgment, you have the Internet at your disposal. You can find many reviews on Trustpilot or any similar site you personally trust. Read the news, and study the reviews about Greenpoint apartments — this will help you make a more informed decision. We know that you will make the most appropriate decision for yourself. Happy moving to Greenpoint!

Stayed at the Williamsburg, Brooklyn NY house for 2 months this summer. Great experience - this house has killer amenities [rooftop, free laundry, movie theater and downstairs work area that no one ever uses and is great for remote work].
