Apartment hunting in New York is difficult enough as it is without having to come up with the money for a broker's fee on top of everything else. From trying to find a somewhat affordable place to trying to lock down a good deal, a lot of leg work goes into finding new digs in this city. If you're looking to move soon, see if any of these five apartments match your criteria. The rents may be high, but the broker's fee is so low it's non-existent.
If you're looking for a place with exposed brick, then you probably won't do better than this charming studio apartment on Mott Street. It's old-fashioned charm is offset by strikingly modern appliances including a built-in fridge and steel microwave and oven.
