Welcome to our annual summer Best of Brick week. Over the next five days, we'll be running some of our most well-read and favorite stories of 2017—from primers on how to find no-fee apartments, to neighborhood deep dives, to financial advice on how to buy your first apartment. We suggest you read up in order to start the fall season fully educated on all things New York City real estate.

We'll be back to a full posting schedule on Tuesday, September 5th, but in the meantime, we suggest you slather on some sunscreen, soak up the final days of summer, and catch up on some of our best stories so far this year.
