New York's rental market remains active

As another month begins with Governor Cuomo's New York on Pause order in place, the city's rental market remains active and adaptable. New developments have made virtual and personalized video tours a key component of their marketing plans, and one enterprising rental has even developed an app to allow possible tenants to tour the building and apply for housing. Meanwhile, affordable lotteries remain in effect with a new lottery launching at a new Bronx development. We take a look at some of the most exciting new lotteries and leasing launches below.
