Rentals of the Day: Boerum Hill 2-bedroom Edition

glad i own. i pay less for my mortgage than any of these babies.

Good deals? Let's look at one exemplar: $1,625/mo. for 475 square feet of an apartment you have to share with someone... on Schermerhorn Street??? No thank you. I'd sublet my 500sf renovated studio in a doorman building at a better intersection in a better neighborhood, for less than that.

And to think I've been considering selling my place and jumping into the rental market...!

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Overpriced crap, one and all.

Bedford Stuyvesant one bedrooms $1000-$1600
Crown Heights $1200-$1800

Stop by any local RE office in the neighborhood of your choice and you will find many listings WAY below any of these prices.

those prices suck

ive seen multiple 2 beds in park slope in the 2200-2400 range. which is good when you have a gf and you move in with a third person

After collecting rental income, I pay $700 a month mortgage for 3 BRs+ in my house. God, do I wish I hadn't bought in 2003, when the housing bubble was bound to burst at any second!

who wants to live with all those people...

Posted by: guest at November 21, 2007 1:28 PM

I PAY NOTHING B/C I BOUGHT IN 1920 AND PAID OFF MY SHIT WHICH COST ME LIKE 5 CENT!

I don't understand. These are all rentals, not apartments for sale. Am I missing something? If these are for sale, though which brokerage?

Posted by: guest at November 21, 2007 2:22 PM

That's what I was thinking.

Mr. B, what's going on? These are rental properties! Was this just a goof?

Posted by: guest at November 21, 2007 2:26 PM

Leave Mr. B alone. As most of the folks on this site are more interested in prices .. this provides info. Of course, when all those hundreds of condos that are for sale become rentals...

sorry these are off the mark.

stop posting this shit because then owners think they can get way too much for their shitty 800 sqf basement and some idiot will rent it. And someone who rented a place in crown heights for 2100 is an idiot. You can get 800 sqf in Prime Park slope for $2400 if you even try and less in prime Prospect heights.

also not everyone wants a 30 year mortgage. Not everyone enjoys living in a single place for their entire lives.

yr city's a sucker

Who cares about rentals? I thought this was supposed to be a serious real estate blog.

Posted by: guest at November 21, 2007 2:47 PM

What's wrong with looking at the rental market? As far as I can tell, this site is about Brooklyn real estate, (which btw, very much includes the rental market) and anything that might pertain to living in Brooklyn in general.

So stop being so miserable, you miserable commenting tards.

Please tell me that you don't still do window a/c units in new construction in New York?

Posted by: guest at November 21, 2007 4:52 PM

And I am a brownstone owner with two rentals in mine (I think the 3,000 sq ft we have left to live in is large enough!) So thank you, Mr Brownstoner, for keeping me appraised of rental prices.

And for those who're complaining - if you don't like the thread don't read it!

Posted by: guest at November 21, 2007 4:54 PM

my 300sf north slope studio rents out for 1700 a month.

these are real prices, folks.

Posted by: guest at November 21, 2007 4:55 PM

Too high. You can find FSBO rentals (no fee) for 25% less for the same space if you watch CL regularly and move quickly. The key is moving quickly and having all your docs ready. Owners appreciate that and sane ones are prepared to collect less rent for zero fuss tenants.

Don't pay a broker 12% of the first year.. just setup a CL search and add the RSS feed, and then be quick to phone to see the 1 or 2 likely ones that turn up each day. Know how to use propertyshark and google maps and you won't waste trips, you'll be doing a better job than any rental broker can do for you.

Actually, Price This Apartment would be a great feature.

I'm about to rent a 750-sf floorthru garden 1 bedroom in center Slope between 4th and 5ht Avenues now -- what does that go for?

Posted by: guest at November 21, 2007 6:45 PM

I usually spend my time on Brownstoner boo hooing the fact that we missed our opportunity to buy and will forever be renters, but we're in a real two bedroom Center Slope for $2200. All of a sudden I feel really lucky.

Posted by: guest at November 21, 2007 7:15 PM

you think these prices are here?

half my friends rent 4200, 4800 i bedrooms in manhattan.

2 bedrooms are over 5k and studios are around 2000-2500.

these are the prices.

once you realize this, you will see why so many people who are interested in staying in nyc long-term are clamoring to buy.

Posted by: guest at November 21, 2007 9:02 PM

yes, of course. they are shocking indeed. they've even gone up a ton in the last 7 years i've been here.

in 2000 it was still not unreasonable to find a 1000 a month studio.

that is no longer really possible.

i can never figure out how these people afford such rents.

Posted by: guest at November 21, 2007 9:48 PM

Prices in Bay ridge are much more affordable. Studios are still 900-1100 and a real onebedroom in a coop building can be had for $1200-1500. A bit of a longer strip but we have plenty of nice brownstone/limestone buildings too

Posted by: guest at November 21, 2007 10:18 PM

"i can never figure out how these people afford such rents"

Six figure salaries.
