Hi Brownstoners,

We are looking to rent a large 2BR (1000 sq ft+) or a 3 BR in Boerum Hill or North Park slope. A private outdoor space is a must. No ground floor. We would prefer a condo but would consider a brownstone in nice condition with modern appliances.

Question: What would you estimate the rent to be on something fitting this description?

We are working with a broker, and he tells us that $4000-$4500 would be the price range.

What do you think?

Thanks!

  1. I’d go to the building at the corner of Atlantic and Court. It has a garage and amenities. I think you’ll even be able to avoid a broker’s fee.

  2. The crime stats are taken right from the precincts, so they are correct. Just google for both brooklyn 84th + 78th precincts. Precinct maps are also available. Regarding precint size, the Boerum Hill precinct includes Downtown Brooklyn, Brooklyn Heights and Vinegar Hill.

  3. Those stats are incorrect. I’d like links to the NYC gov website, please.

    There hasn’t been a murder in Park Slope since 2005. I know this because I am an officer in Park Slope.

  4. 11:50 Guest comments that Boerum Hill has higher crime. Compartive crime stats don’t support that statement. 2007 Crime Stats for Boerum Hill (78th precinct) and Park Slope (84th Precinct).

    Murders: BH =1 and PS = 2.
    Rape: BH = 7 and Park Slope = 4.
    Robbery: BH = 171 and Park Slope = 228
    Fel. Assault: BH = 84 and PS = 166.
    Burglary: BH = 201 and PS 158
    Grand Larceny: BH = 401 and PS 652.
