Leave a Review StreetEasy NYC Rentals & Sales
Better results online
Used this for recent apartment hunt. After awhile I started getting the same 10 or so apartments. Went online and found better results that weren’t showing up in the app.

¡Amazing way to find home where u can be free!
I really was having problem with my earlier apartment and there was a lots of stress. But one day one of my friends told me about this app and after searching on the app about two weeks I finally got a good deal house for rent and the neighborhood also was good. And helped me with the stress.welrooz
Needs some TLC
It's the best way to find apartments in NYC, but navigation is kind of terrible and it's not saving to the main calendar (and no, you can't select which calendar to use). I spent a good 20 minutes trying to figure out what "Add" actually meant in relation to an open house before happening to find the events in a calendar I never use and have hidden.Show lessdagonyclark
Shrinking listings and poor use of mailing list
While the mailings say the market is becoming more of a buyer’s market, I see always the same listings and little if any pricing changes.
Emails from the company are completely off-target; I am bombarded by emails on rentals, whereas my searches should show the company I’m not a renter. I am always receiving information about properties that are at a completely different price point and location than my searches indicate are within my interest.Show lessdeisebl
Organization & Search Options Need Improvement
I used this app to find my most recent apartment but found it extremely irritating that:
1) I could not search for a building specifically within the app via a search bar. I had to first google the building and then click the StreetEasy hyperlink which then would automatically pull up the app & the information on the building.
2) I could not organize my saved listings in order of me saving them (let’s say most recent). Instead, the best way to organize listings the app offers is by “recently updated”. This means I have to dig through my saved listings to try to remember which one I wanted to review again or share with my boyfriend to check out. This equals a lot of wasted time.
3) As other users have pointed out the filters could be improved to be more like what you get on the standard website. I’d like to be able to enter keywords into a search bar or from the start of a search enter things like pet-friendly, dishwasher, etc. At the beginning of the search. Not just neighborhood and budget.Show lessapeck_nc
Beware of spam
Once you contact an agent for a listing, a whole lot of people will call you about being your buyer’s agent. The actual listing agent will rarely respond.
Also, there is no way to search for just Manhattan below 100 Street, which they should change.Pushymama
What happened since Zillow bought streeteasy? Nyc rental market is a mess!
I’ve been searching for an apartment for a few months and all I can say is - thanks Zillow for buying StreetEasy, imposing silly fees (I’m told $3/day/apt) and now turning the nyc rental market into a big mess!
I used StreetEasy for years and it was great! Now there is no single place to find apartments to rent that is inclusive and reliable. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I think The NY Times classifieds was a better system back 20 years ago... if you can’t get it right then put everything on MLS. I’m not in this business but I do know as a rental consumer I’m very frustrated.Show lessembeeny
Make it more user convenient.... for god sakes.
It would be GREAT, if it was more user convenient meaning:
1) instead of pressing the arrow to go back to apartment listing, how about just swiping right to return to the listing. It’s annoying to have to press the arrow honestly.
2) please, please, please check for scam listings. Too many times do an see apartment has been rented out from one realtor, scroll down and there goes the apartment again. Why is that!?! Realtor are copy photos?!? Fix that.
Basically be more incentive to be on the app and protects the users searching for new homes.Show lessBYRD!389
Glitches
Hi - the app works fine until we get notifications and try to activate them and it literally freezes on the “
Loading page” . I never get to see the content of the notifications ever. This is very frustrating and a big drawback and limitation. I might stop using the app because of this big problem which partly kills the purpose of the app .Show lesssw1975
Unbelievable
I'm currently in the process of looking for a place, ready to take that big step and have found the task of finding an app to navigate the rugged terrain almost impossible, until I downloaded this one, I can't explain the exact reason, but for whatever the reason, it seems like everything comes together so perfectly with this one, even though they all tend to have the same places, this app is in a class by itself.Show lessRighteous Allah
