Boerum Hill and North Park Slope
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…
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!
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.
78th precinct is larger than Park Slope, so the officer writing at 5:42 may be absolutely correct.
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.
I WOULD MOVE TO BoCoCa But that is me.
outdoor space but not on the ground floor? add $1000.
PS is also at least 20 short blocks by 5 long blocks at this point. BH is tiny.
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.
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).

Boreum Hill also has higher crime and crappy schools. Nice urban area though, but not exactly the North Slope…
