The Williamsburg Buildings Where Apartments Rent the Fastest

We pulled the full rental history of all 3,877 buildings in Williamsburg. In the 57 most active ones, the fastest-renting buildings go for nearly a third below the neighborhood median — and they disappear in days.

June 10, 2026·6 min read

Some Williamsburg buildings rent an apartment within days of listing. Others sit for over a month. We wanted to know whether that speed means anything for your wallet — so we pulled the complete rental history of every building in the neighborhood and ranked them by how fast their units actually rent.

The pattern is striking. Among the 57 buildings that rent regularly, the fastest quartile rents for 32% below the Williamsburg median of $3,309 per bedroom. The slowest quartile rents for 23% above it. Apartments that are priced to move, move — usually in under a week.

The catch: the deals near the top of this list are gone before most people see them. So we let you turn on alerts for any building below — we'll email you the moment a unit lists there, often before it reaches the big platforms.

Speed is a price signal

When a landlord prices an apartment below what the market will bear, it rents almost immediately — there's a line of qualified renters happy to take a deal. When it's priced above market, it sits, collects price cuts, and eventually rents to whoever's left. Days on market is essentially the market grading each building's pricing in real time.

That's why the gradient above is so clean. The buildings in the fastest quartile aren't fast by luck — they're fast because they consistently list below the neighborhood rate. If you can get into one of them, you're getting a Williamsburg apartment for meaningfully less than your neighbors pay.

The real deals: fast and cheap

These are the standouts — buildings that rent in under two weeks and price well below the neighborhood median. 367 South Fifth Street rents in a median of 5 days at 43% below market. 148 Meserole Street goes in 5 days at 45% under, and 33 Montrose Avenue at 48% under.

The deepest discounts belong to 123 Boerum Street at 56% below the median, 197 Johnson Avenue at 53%, and 102 Scholes Street at 52%. These aren't luxury units with concessions — they're older, smaller-footprint buildings that quietly price below market and fill fast. You will not win one by browsing on the weekend.

Fast doesn't always mean cheap

Most of the fastest buildings are also the cheapest — but not all. 101 Bedford Avenue rents in a median of 10 days at 60% above the neighborhood rate, and One Domino Square goes in 18 days at a remarkable 111% above. These are high-demand amenity buildings that move quickly because everyone wants them, not because they're a bargain.

Speed tells you a building is in demand. Pairing it with the price-per-bedroom column tells you whether that demand is about value or about views. Both kinds rent fast — only one is a deal.

"$/bed" is the median rent per bedroom; "vs. market" compares it to the Williamsburg median of $3,309.

How to actually get one

Here's the problem with this list: the better the building, the faster its apartments are gone. The deal buildings near the top rent in a median of 4 to 8 days. By the time a below-market unit shows up in a normal apartment search, the qualified applications are often already in.

The only way to compete is to know the moment a listing appears. Turn on alerts for the buildings you want using the button next to each one above — we'll email you the second a matching apartment goes live, often before it reaches the big platforms.

Methodology

This analysis is based on the complete rental history of all 3,877 buildings in Williamsburg, drawn from the RentReboot database of publicly available listings. For each building we measured "days on market" — how long a unit was listed before it rented — across rentals closed in the 12 months ending June 2026. We include only buildings that rented at least 4 units in that window and have more than 3 units total, which filters out stale and very small buildings. Rentals that closed in 0–1 days are excluded as pre-arranged (the unit was listed after a tenant was already found), not real market time. Rent per bedroom treats a studio as one bedroom; the Williamsburg median used for comparison is $3,309 per bedroom. Rankings reflect the median across each building's rentals, so a single outlier doesn't skew the result. Published June 2026.
