Downtown Rent Reality Check


I currently live in Carroll Gardens with roommates but am considering moving out. My ideal apartment would be a one bedroom in north Cobble Hill/downtown brooklyn (say between Bergen and Joralemon and Hoyt and Clinton). I’m flexible on other factors (I’m cool with a poorly maintained fourth floor walk-up) though of course nicer is better. A few months ago this seemed beyond my reach (I’m budgeting ~2000 plus utilies and broker fee) but judging from the brokers’ windows on Court St. rents have come down. Is it realistic to expect that I could move out and find something now?
