Hello wonderful and helpful people of brownstoner.com

I am looking to move to the Brooklyn area within the next 2 months. I have found a few neighborhoods I am interested in including Clinton Hill, Fort Green, Greenpont, and Williamsburg. I have been to all 4 areas and I am looking for a reliable and honest realtor in those areas. I’ve searched online and taken advice from other friends, but I was just wondering if people could point me in the right direction, I’ve tried looking in the times as well as craigslsit, but I am not having any luck with finding what I want at the price that I want ( I am looking for a 1br between 1200-1400 hopefully with some utilities included (hopefully), is that possible in the areas I mentioned above?) If anyone could help or knows a trusted realtor I would greatly appreciate the information.
Happy Holidays!

She’ll never find something for that price in Astoria…
sorry you fell its annoying but i need help so just dont read it.
These posts are so annoying.
Try Astoria Queens. Safe, greek/italian immigrant neighborhoods, quick to manhattan (N/W train), and affordable. I’m in cobble hill now but started in Astoria when cost was more of an issue.
We’re renting our apt in Lefferts Garden for about your price range including all utilities. Subways near us are the Q, B, D, 2, and 5 trains. Very sweet neighborhood with beautiful homes. Starting in mid-January/February.
I have friends who found a great place in greenpoint for 1400 a month (2br) so i thought it would be easy to find a one br for that price. being near the G works. and I can get to work by using te G. I’ve been warned/told about stayign out of Bay ridge being african american, but thanks for the advice
Move to Bay Ridge. You can find a very nice 1 bedroom at that price range. It is a very safe area. It is also convenient to shopping, restaurants and transportation. The N express or D express stops at 42nd and 6th Ave.
Caitlin — I know this isn’t your ideal situation, but at that rent you can get a much better place with a roommate. Since it sounds like you are new or unfamiliar with the city, this might allow you to get to know the areas better, and really let you focus in on what you want. Not to mention splitting utilities, and all that good stuff. Plus, having a roommate puts you in a 2BR in not such an outlier community, where your safety won’t be as much of a concern. (But always look out for yourself, no matter where you go in NYC.)
Good luck!
