In-unit laundry surpasses pet friendliness in NYC apartment searches

A new report found that being
pet-friendly is not the most
popular amenity that apartment
hunters are looking for during
the COVID-19 crisis.
StreetEasy analyzed their search
history for the month of May 2020
and compared it to the same time
the previous year.
In May 2019, searches for petfriendly
apartments were the
most popular with 29 percent of
the share of searches, with in-unit
laundry in second with 26 percent
of searches.
However, in May 2020 pet-friendliness
took a back seat to in-unit
laundry, which had 33 percent of
StreetEasy searches. Pet-friendly
apartments were 29 percent of
searches that same month.
StreetEasy acknowledges that
while in-unit laundry has been a
“holy grail” of finds for apartment
hunters, the shift in higher searches
could be due to COVID-19.
“COVID-19 has disrupted many
New Yorkers’ laundry routines —
whether they take a weekly trip to
the laundromat down the block, or
use shared facilities in their buildings,”
the report reads. “Understandably,
many are newly hesitant
to share washers and dryers with
others.
In a recent StreetEasy survey of
renters, 58 percent of respondents
indicated that in-unit laundry has
become more important to them
since spending more time at home.”
Another area that saw a spike in
searches on StreetEasy was apartments
with outdoor spaces.
In May 2020, apartments with
outdoor spaces accounted for 20
percent of the searches — in May
2019, this amenity did not even
break the top five.
