What does “top-rated under $3,000” mean on this page?

How many apartments are currently in this search?

There are 10 active listings in this scope as of 2026-05-05.

What is the median rent for these listings?

The median rent is $2,252, which can help you judge whether a listing is priced toward the lower or higher end of this search.

Which neighborhoods are showing up in this search?

This scope includes listings tied to neighborhoods such as Downtown Brooklyn, Financial District, Hell's Kitchen, Hunters Point, Prospect Lefferts Gardens, and Turtle Bay.

Should I expect extra fees even if a listing is under $3,000?

Yes. A lower listed rent does not rule out application fees, a security deposit, a broker fee, or building move-in charges. Always confirm the full upfront cost.

Does top-rated mean the apartment is move-in ready or complaint-free?

No. Top-rated refers to building review scores on OpenIgloo, not a guarantee about unit condition, maintenance timing, or lease flexibility.

What should I check before applying to a unit close to $3,000?

Confirm whether the advertised rent is the net or gross amount, whether any concession is ending soon, and whether the lease renewal terms could change your monthly cost.
