Apartment rentals New York with Long Island City Apartments

Flushing Meadows-Corona Park is once again the subject of controversy after MLS stadium proposals have kept the park in the headlines for the better part of a year. Though, the discussion isn’t centered on prospective tenants this time, but rather its current ones – primarily, Citi Field and the Mets. Queens’ flagship park is failing to meet cleanliness standards of other similar sized parks, and maintenance is underfunded despite playing host to the New York Mets and the U.S. Open. Councilwoman Julissa Ferreras cites Citi Field’s incredibly low yearly lease of $155,000.

Rents in Manhattan have been soaring over the past few months, with several rental records being broken and New York City’s real estate sector enjoying a flurry of activity. But the most recent market report released by Citi Habitats suggests that the surge in rents is finally taking a breather, with average rents stabilizing in September as compared to August. In some neighborhoods the rents have actually dipped slightly too. However, there’s a catch—while the rents have plateaued, they're still holding strong at their extremely high rates. Additionally, landlord concessions for rental apartments such as a month without rent or no brokerage fees are now more rare than they've ever been, indicating that Manhattan renters don't need extra incentives to sign a lease.
