A QUICK LOOK
Over the last month, the average rental price in Brooklyn decreased by 0.97%, from $2,818.15 to $2,790.68. The average rental price for a studio unit decreased by 0.94%, from $2,267.91 to $2,246.48. The average rental price for a one-bedroom unit decreased by 0.82%, from $2,690.72 to $2,668.72. The average rental price for a two-bedroom unit increased by 0.73%, from $3,431.75 to $3,456.82. Year-over-year, studio rental prices are up 3.43%, while one and two-bedroom rental prices are up 3.36% and 1.77%, respectively. Overall, the average rental price in Brooklyn is up 2.72% from this time last year.
This past month, most analyzed neighborhoods experienced month-over-month price drops, which can be expected for this time of the year. Out of all tracked unit types two-bedrooms performed the best on a month-over-month and per neighborhood basis, with prices increasing in nearly half of all tracked neighborhoods. During December, the most expensive neighborhood to rent in was DUMBO, while the most affordable neighborhood was Bay Ridge.
Similar to last month, rental pricing had increased year-over-year, which indicates there is still some healthy demand in the Brooklyn rental market, even in the more-fringe neighborhoods like Bushwick (+6.48%), Prospect Lefferts Gardens (+5.03%), and Crown Heights (+2.95%).
• Remaining relatively stable, the average rental price in Bedford-Stuyvesant fell by 1.05% this past month.
• Following a slight drop in pricing last month, the average rental price in Boerum Hill increased by 1.01% during December.
• Thanks to an impressive 3.51% increase in two-bedroom pricing, the average rental price in Brooklyn Heights increased by 0.83% during December.
• Rental pricing in Bushwick remained stable during December, increasing by just 0.04% since last month.
• Continuing the trend seen over the last two months, the average rental price in Clinton Hill fell by 2.19% during December.
• One-bedroom and two-bedroom units in Cobble Hill saw their rental prices increase by 1.06% and 3.35%, respectively. However, due to an increase in smaller-sized listings, the average rental price in Cobble Hill fell by 9.21% during December.
• After a stable November, the average rental price in Crown Heights fell by 0.38% during December.
• Further succumbing to rental market seasonality, the average rental price in Downtown Brooklyn fell by 1.52% during December.
• After last month’s correction, the average rental price in DUMBO rebounded by 1.97% during December. The majority of this increase can be attributed to larger-than-normal units that came onto the higher-end of the rental market in DUMBO.
• Following last month’s increase, the average rental price in Fort Greene experienced a correction of 1.71% during December.
• Rental pricing in Park Slope remained stable during December, increasing by just 0.05%.

The Report Explained
The Brooklyn Rental Market Report™ compares fluctuation in the borough’s rental data on a monthly basis. It is an essential tool for potential renters seeking transparency in the Brooklyn apartment market and a benchmark for landlords to efficiently and fairly adjust individual property rents in Brooklyn.
The Brooklyn Rental Market Report™ is based on a cross-section of data from available listings and priced under $10,000, with ultraluxury property omitted to obtain a true monthly rental average. Our data is aggregated from the MNS proprietary database and sampled from a specific mid-month point to record current rental rates offered by landlords during that particular month.
