REAL ESTATE
Report shows what prospective renters are looking for the most in NYC

New Yorkers looking to move
should prepare for what looks
like another year of spending
a lot of time inside when searching for
new that “dream apartment.”
In late February, StreetEasy
released data showing that New
Yorkers are prioritizing home amenities
while searching for their next
apartments.
The real estate website reported
that in 2020 almost one-third of all
searches on StreetEasy ticked the
box for an amenity filter, up 22 percent
from 2019.
StreetEasy also revealed the most
popular amenities New Yorkers
currently value while searching for
their next apartment: in-unit washer
and dryer, pets allowed policy and
an elevator in the building.
Though these three amenities
dominate the top of most New
Yorkers’ wish lists, other features
such as central air conditioning
and private outdoor space, have
seen a search increase because of
the pandemic.
In December of 2020, StreetEasy
added a plethora of new filters New
Yorkers could use while searching
for their next apartment.
One of these filters included what
type of view the buyer or renter
wanted, such as a city view, water
view or park view. It appears that
more time spent at home means
fewer New Yorkers are satisfied
looking out their window at a brick
wall or having a direct view into
their neighbor’s living room.
Licensed real estate salesperson
Reba Miller said New Yorkers are
valuing privacy above all while
searching for their next city apartment
during a pandemic. “Privacy
has been key as of late,” she said.
“Balconies and terraces are extremely
sought after. I’ve also been asked
about private elevator access, and
the number of units in a building
more often since COVID. The more
private, the better.”
Private outdoor space is the
seventh most searched for amenity
up from public outdoor space which
comes in at number 10.
