NYC Apartments, especially Manhattan Apartment Rentals, have historically been the preeminent apartment rentals in the world - professionals, celebrities and moguls have lived alongside artists, students and working families. But whereas in the past, in order to find a great apartment in New York City, one had to pay all kinds of fees, know all kinds of people, today the NYC apartment rental market is more liquid - and hence finding a NYC apartment is that much simpler. Today even a freshman in college can afford top of the line luxury Manhattan apartments with doormen, concierges, pools, roof-decks and more – oftentimes for less than the price of a dorm.

NYC apartment rentals traditionally carry a broker's commission. But thanks to the recession, many of New York’s finest apartments are now NO FEE! What’s more is that there are amazing rent concessions to be had on apartments for rent in NYC - 1 months, 2 months - up to 4 months free! We will do our best to help you find and land those great apartment deals.

But New York City hasn’t stopped being the busiest place in the world - far from it! Despite the sharp decline in prices, the hottest Manhattan apartment rental listings still go very quickly - dealing with NYC apartments and NYC apartment brokers is a legendary hassle, so having a good apartment Adviser is therefore a powerful (and now free!) tool.

Whether it’s a Classic 7 overlooking Central Park, a West Village walk-up apartment, a downtown luxury rental apartment, or an Upper West-Side Brownstone, First Properties’ mission is to help you navigate the sea of Manhattan apartment rentals and find you the NYC apartment rental that’s right for you.

First Properties has access to a plethora of Manhattan sales listings: condo and co-op apartments, townhouses and buildings.
