What apartment amenities exist for buildings in New York City?
We'll demystify this topic in the following video, my name is Chris at Hauseit.

Well there are many different types of apartment amenities in New York City for buyers to choose
from.
There are a few key amenities that everyone seems to asks for.
In order of importance, this include in-unit washer/dryer, elevator, doorman, outdoor space,
live in super, gym and hardwood floors.
From what we've seen from years in the business, having an in-unit washer/dryer and an elevator
are by far the two most important amenities to have and are the amenities that most buyers
frequently ask for.
Typical amenities in apartments and buildings in New York City.
We've listed below all possible building, meaning accessible by all residents of the
building and in unit, meaning an amenity located inside an apartment, amenities allowed by
the REBNY RLS when listing are uploaded by real estate agents in New York City.
Here we go.
Keep in mind that not all listing agents will be so diligent in including every possible
amenity when they submit your listing for upload and that most third-party websites
or have relatively limited search capabilities functionality when it comes to streaming for
amenities.
As a result, you should be more open minded when searching for homes so you don't run
the risk of excluding listings that might actually work for you that you might consider
but simply don't have the amenity which you screened for.
I mean they might actually have it but it simply wasn't included in the upload.
Typical building amenities in New York City, bicycle room, children's playroom, courtyard,
driveway, garage, high speed internet, live-in super, new construction, pool, storage, virtual

So there you have it, those are all the possible variations of amenities that can be included
in the REBNY RLS which is the defacto MLS broker data base in New York City when your
broker screens on your behalf, those are all the possibilities for both building and in
unit amenities that they get screened for and in summary please don't be too particular
in amenities when searching or having your buyer's agents search for you on your behalf
because listing agents sometimes may simply be too lazy to include all the details or
third party websites such as StreetEasy, Zillow, Realtor.com, New York Times they simply may
not have a field for particular amenity that you're looking for.
