In contrast, Contemporary homes make up around 15.5% of the market, offering sleek, modern designs that prioritize functionality and clean lines. Meanwhile, Modern architecture, popularized in the mid-20th century, accounts for approximately 10% of New York's rentals, featuring bold, innovative designs that often incorporate industrial materials and an emphasis on horizontal and vertical lines. Architectural style in New York is representative of a subset of listings available on Zumper over the last few years.
