New sky-reaching developments seem to be joining the boroughs of New York constantly, but much of what the new residentials hold can be found in some of New York’s finest developments from just five years ago. Here is a list of three thriving rentals that all currently hold availability.

House39 is a beautiful new addition to Midtown, offering residents unrivaled luxury and comfort in the heart of Manhattan, surrounded by everything they could need to make themselves at home in NYC.  Developer Fisher Brothers along with Handel Architects and designer Rockwell Group, have brought this 36-story building to Murray Hill which offers 372 homes at 225 East 39th Street.

Need a home on the bustling streets of Midtown, but still want an oasis where you can escape the hectic city? Murray Hill is perfectly centered in the middle of Midtown while also being just a short walk away from several parks and the East River. One of the neighborhood's newest developments, Theater House, is not only located in a convenient location but also features amenities and lavish finishes that elevates this new tower into one of the best places to live in Midtown

In 2013, several new high-demand buildings hit the market and leased to capacity at an extreme rate. If you missed out, or just weren’t looking to move in 2013, don’t worry; we know what rental buildings will be opening in 2014. From Downtown, to Midtown, to Uptown, here are some high-demand apartments that will be brand new for 2014.

Murray Hill has long been the neighborhood of choice for renters wanting affordable, luxury living options in Manhattan, and the area will soon be having a new building to add to its repertoire: an 18-story mixed-use tower at 200 East 39th Street. The new building, which is a project by SK Development, CB Developers and Ironstate Development, will have 91 apartment units in studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom sizes, along with retail spaces on the lower floors.

Apartment rents in New York City have been falling for the past few months, and if a new report by real estate marketing consultant Nancy Packes is to be believed, the market is being kept affordable thanks to the influx of new renters, who, thanks to their lower incomes, are forcing landlords to keep rents cheap in the city. These new renters, who are mostly young and employed in creative pursuits like art, design and technology, are flooding into the city, and they are emerging as the ones controlling the rent swings in New York City.

So, here’s the deal: yes, Manhattan is known for having high rents, but if you’ve set your mind on living in only this borough of New York City, now is a good time to score some great deals on apartments here. A report in The Wall Street Journal says that rents in Manhattan declined again last month, thereby making January the fifth consecutive month to see a drop in average rents.

If you are looking for an apartment to rent and you’re finding the rents in most Manhattan neighborhoods to be too expensive, the latest rental market report from MNS suggests that you start looking in the Murray Hill and Harlem neighborhoods for your new home. According to the report, while most of the city continues to face an inventory crunch and, therefore, a rise in apartment rents, these two neighborhoods are standing out from the rest by asking rents that are still, surprisingly, affordable and reasonable in this volatile market climate.

After finding it difficult to find a Manhattan rental that fit both their budget and their specifications, it was rather commonplace in the past for New Yorkers to take their apartment hunt to Brooklyn instead. However, these days, a reversal of this trend is happening—recent rental reports suggest that with apartments in Kings County seeing a surge in rents, many apartment hunters are realizing that they may be getting better deals by renting homes in Manhattan itself.
