Go to Craigslist and try the "no fee" or "by owner" section first under the Upper West Side section to try to avoid a broker fee. Truth be told, you probably won't be able to avoid a broker, but you never know. The vacancy in New York right now is under one percent so brokers are really ruling the roost right now and they charge 10% of a year's rent. If nothing comes up under the no fee section then try all apartments or go directly to a brokerage website to see all of their listings. Citihabitats and Bond are the two biggest in the city.
