The median rent is $3,000, so half of the apartments for rent on this page are above that and half are below. It is a useful reference point, but your full monthly cost may still be higher after fees and utilities.

Hunters Point has 281 apartments for rent, Forest Hills has 49, Jamaica Estates has 16, and Murray Hill (Queens) and Ditmars-Steinway each have 12. The mix can shift as new units come in.

Broker fees, security deposits, application fees, utilities, and any required move-in charges can raise the true monthly or upfront cost. Lease length and concessions can also affect the real price.

Confirm the total move-in costs, whether utilities are included, the lease term, and any building rules that affect your budget. If the unit is in a newer building or has extra amenities, costs may be higher even if the asking rent fits your target.
