For many people, spring is a season of re-evaluation. And while unearthing the box of summer dresses or scrubbing that stubborn stain off the stove—wistful longing for a new apartment. It’s a fun time to round up the best weekly rentals—these three are newly renovated—and see just how fresh a new place can be.

1810 Cortelyou Rd #2L between E 18th st and E 19th st
Available: June 1
Price: $1,700 monthly rent with no brokers fee
Size: 1 bedroom / 1 bathroom
Details: Alright, so this one doesn’t look so shiny from the photos. But if you’re looking to be in the center of the action on Cortelyou, this apartment is a great location at a great price. The photos show it in a true state of “gut renovation” (a good sign!) but right now it’s littered with power tools, cardboard boxes, and paint cans. But the fundamentals of this apartment look beautiful—new wood floor, kitchen, and bathroom. There are views of Cortelyou and a fire escape attached to the bedroom window. Built in 1925, the building has 43 rental units.  It’s located only 0.15 miles from the Cortelyou B and Q trains, and under 1 mile to the 2 and 5 at Beverly Rd for an alternative option.
