Williamsburg Apartment for Rent -- 250 Bedford Ave

Our rental of the day is a pricey one-bedroom within the Brooklyn Social, a new-ish rental building at 250 Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg. If it looks familiar perhaps you’ve seen it before, or maybe you’ve just seen one of the 900,000 so-called luxury apartments in similar buildings that have sprouted all over Williamsburg in recent years. (That’s an admittedly unscientific count.)

This one is fairly representative of the breed. Its living room and bedroom are reasonably large but not too large, with a floor-to-ceiling window in the former. The floors are white oak. The kitchen has brushed-nickel fixtures, a stone countertop and stainless-steel appliances of German manufacture.

The bathroom has a European look, with an oversized showerhead and heated marble floor. There’s a washer and dryer.

There are a bunch of units up for rent in the building, and it bears noting that the photos here are generic shots that don’t line up with the floorplan for this particular unit.

As the building’s name might suggest, they’re big on common spaces. There’s a gaming lounge with a pool table, a screening area, a communal dining area, a pair of inner courtyards, and a pair of large furnished and landscaped roof decks. Other perks include a doorman and bike storage.

All told, “the ultimate designer and all-inclusive Brooklyn lifestyle resides” here, per the listing, from Drew DeMaio at Aptsandlofts.com.

The rent on this one is $3,411 a month, with no fee. They’re giving a free month on a 13-month lease, which at first sounds like a good thing, but it’s less of a boon when you note that the given price reflects the free month, so if you stay longer than the initial lease the monthly rent will be higher.

And it’s not cheap to begin with, but on the other hand, it’s not out of line with what other such places are charging, and we’d be surprised if some young financier didn’t step up and claim it.

What do you think of the price, and the place itself?
