A couple of years ago, we knew a lot of people who were moving to Kensington because rentals there were significantly cheaper than in lots of other parts of Brooklyn. When we checked out Craigslist for this batch of rentals, though, none of the apartments seemed like steals. Are there still deals to be had in the area? Here’s what we saw, clockwise, from upper left:
1. Mult. 1-bed, 1-baths, 600-850-sf, terraces, $1600-1700; 955 Coney Island Ave.
2. 2-bedroom plus study, EIK, remodeled bath, $1,900; East 5th St. at Ditmas
3. Spacious studio with new kitchen, wood floor, $950; Ocean Pkwy at Ave. C
4. 1-BR plus office, apx. 1,000-sf; prewar detail, $1,675; East 10th St. at Caton
5. 4-bed, 2-bath, gut-renovated floor-thru, $2,800; Beverly Rd. at East 7th St.
