I need the name of a good managing agent for a 24 unit building in the Park Slope/Prospect heights area. Preferably someone who has dealt with an active board. Building is 3 years old.
Much appreciated

My husband and I rented a large one bedroom loft apartment on Pineapple Street in BH for two years and the rent was $3,000 a month.
Brooklyn Heights is very expensive. I cannot imagine what the rental on a three bedroom apartment would be.
A young lady I used to work with is renting in Prospect Heights and she just had a baby.

I found this website very helpful.

Good luck with your search.

Many, many thanks to all for sharing your insights and advice. To answer your questions: -- we can do about 3500 and maybe stretch to 4 if we're not using a broker. My husband has to be there by 630, but won't be working nights.

"Please, wall street people don't have evenings - they work. Never see their small children during the week. And the commute time home doesn't matter (even if they did have some evening time) because they take black cars home in the evening hours."

It's just as long if not longer to take a car home in the evening to Bay Ridge. Or whatever too-far location is being plugged. Plus Wall Streeters do not work nights.

The only Wall Streeters who don't see their families during the week are the ones who live way out. Thus the huge revival of prime Brooklyn neighborhoods - people want far less commute time nowdays.
