5 Manhattan two bedrooms for rent in non-doorman buildings asking under $2,650
This no-fee, rent-stabilized two bedroom, one bath in Hudson Heights is listed for $2,600.
If you’re searching for a rental apartment in Manhattan right now, you are probably well aware that there are fewer listings available. And to make matters worse: Rents are higher and there are fewer concessions compared to a year ago.
But there’s a big difference between doorman and non-doorman buildings, according to the latest Elliman Report, these two categories are behaving like they are in two completely different markets. Last month, the median rent in non-doorman buildings increased by 3.9 percent to $2,650 compared to November 2020, while doorman (a proxy for luxury) buildings saw an 18.3 percent increase to $4,398. This means if living in an amenity-laden building isn’t on your must-have list, you have a better chance of finding a cheaper rental if you focus your search on non-doorman rentals.
Brokers tell Brick Underground that two bedrooms are particularly popular because New Yorkers still working from home are looking for more space. There are 312 two bedrooms under $2,650 (the median rent for non-doorman buildings) currently listed on StreetEasy.
