Top 10 NYC neighborhoods to watch out for!

As New Yorker’s increasingly look across the East River for housing, Brooklyn and Queens will emerge as dominant markets in New York City in 2025. Both buyers and renters are prioritizing home amenities more and more, suggesting demand is likely to rise in neighborhoods where new developments are abundant but offered at lower price points than in Manhattan. 

We define our top 10 NYC Neighborhoods to Watch in 2025 as those that saw the greatest increase in searches on StreetEasy® among buyers and renters from 2023 to 2024. Six of the 10 neighborhoods are in Brooklyn. Three neighborhoods in Queens scored a spot, a decline from five last year, with the final spot going to Manhattan.
