This five-bedroom, two-bath apartment in a Crown Heights brownstone has some lovely prewar details and recent updates. The apartment, listed by the owners, has new bathrooms and a new kitchen with stainless steel appliances and breakfast bar. There are two decorative fireplaces with interesting detail, a pier mirror, and a screen with some ornate fretwork that will hopefully get a new coat of paint.

The living room isn’t separate from the kitchen, but it seems like a spacious, long room. Also, the bedrooms look decently sized and have built-in closets.

However, $1,100 a room might be a little ambitious for this part of Crown Heights. What’s your opinion of it for $5,500 a month?

  1. I guess you could still consider this the “western’ part of Crown Heights, which is probably why the rent is so high–still—to me it’s incredibly steep, more a statement about rents in the area, than anything else. What would the rent for the same space have been around 10 years ago? Maybe $1100? I guess a group of five or six could find it reasonable, but if Crown Heights continues its march to gentrification—what might it be in a few years…?.
