Homi is a video-first apartment search for New York City. Every listing is a real video walkthrough of the actual unit, filmed inside the apartment you would be renting — not a floor plan, not a staged photo set, not a stock image of the lobby. Browsing is free and needs no account.
Open the feed and watch video tours one after another, the way you would scroll any other video app. Filter by neighborhood, price, bedrooms and bathrooms to narrow what you see. Save the apartments you like, and when one is worth seeing in person, message the leasing team from the listing itself. Your message is emailed straight to the agent responsible for that apartment, and they reply to you directly.
Most rental listings show you photographs chosen to flatter a room. A Homi listing shows you the walk from the front door to the window, in one take, in the unit that is actually available. You can see ceiling height, the real size of the second bedroom, what the bathroom looks like, and what is outside the window — before spending an evening travelling to a viewing that was never going to work.
Every listing is posted by a leasing team that Homi has selectively onboarded, so the apartment on screen is one that team is actually renting.
Homi covers New York City, with apartments across four boroughs — Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Bronx. You can browse hundreds of tours by area, from Astoria and Long Island City to Williamsburg and the Upper West Side. See apartments by neighborhood for the full list of areas with tours available right now.
Nothing. Homi is free to download and free to use, for renters. There is no fee to browse, no fee to save an apartment, and no fee to contact a leasing team. You do not need an account to watch tours.
Homi films listings for onboarded buildings at no cost to the building. Agents post video tours, manage a catalog of their units, and receive renter inquiries by email. See Homi for agents.
