how soon should i start looking?


hi everyone, i will be in the market for a rental apartment in the summer(end of July/ mid-August)and need your advice on how soon i need to start looking. i live out-of-state and cannot visit the area too often, so i need to plan ahead. what would be the ideal timing to start looking and what is the latest…? one month? two weeks? i hope to do this myself without going through a broker…is a 2-4 week window enough? Many thanks for your comments.

help with using craigslist…


I wanted to ask you for your input on finding rental apartments on craigslist. I just finished school and have no experience dealing with landlords or brokers(lived in student housing…) and I guess I’m just a bit nervous about signing a housing contract for the first time. I’m sure landlords have similar anxieties about new tenants, but still, could you give me some advice on what to look for, what to look out for? Many thanks!

$1800/m in Park Slope? Possible?


Hi, we are relocating to Brooklyn this summer and would like to know if it’s at all possible to find something decent for $1800 per month in Park Slope. We are looking for a one bedroom.
