This Park Slope triplex has just about everything anyone could want in a brownstone apartment: 13 foot tall ceilings on the parlor floor, five fireplace mantels and one working fireplace, stained glass, mahogany pocket doors and plaster medallions. The home, at 260 Garfield Place, is large, with five bedrooms, 2.5 baths and a large deck off the kitchen.
Such glorious digs do not come cheap, of course. We featured this triplex as a Rental of the Day in 2013. The asking price then was $12,500 a month. It hasn’t gone up much in two years. Asking rent today: $12,750 a month. Does that make it a good deal?

Beautiful place, but it would be nice to get central air for $12,750 a month! Window units are loud, inefficient, and ugly.
This is NYC. Yes there are lots of “foreigners sent here on a year long assignment and the company is footing the bill.” And celebrities too.
Also – all the people buying townhouses need a place to live for a while they do year-long gut renovations on their new digs.
The bigger question to me is: why did the landlord only raise the rent by 2% in 2 yrs? Certainly the townhouse market in Park Slope has gone up a lot more than that recently?
lovely!
If the world operated only in terms you understood, we would probably be without electricty, cars, indoor heating or cooling since you likely don’t understand all the mechanisms of engines/turbines/thermodynamic theory that makes it possible, flight, computers, or modern art.
Markets are more intelligent than the participants.
