Studio/1BR Rental Prices?
Does anyone know how much studios and one-bedrooms are renting for in Park Slope and Prospect Heights? I’ve seen various prices listed on Craigslist and brokers’ sites, but I’m assuming renters are bargaining down from these asking prices. If you’re a landlord or a tenant who’s signed a lease somewhat recently, I’m curious to know…

Thanks everyone, this is all very helpful.
The old adage, “you get what you pay for” applies here. How close is it to the train? Which train? Is there an elevator, doorman, super on site, washer and dryer in building, in the unit? The range is $1,200 – $2,250. The better the condition, the proximity to a train and the presence or absence of a doorman plays a role in the price.
Gemini is correct. A decent 1 bedroom in north slope will run 1800-2200
So I have been apartment hunting lately. What I have seen so far:
Park Slope 1BR range from $1600 (tiny ones that havent been updated recently) to $2200 for a nice brownstone or condo with amenities (stainless appliances, w/d in building etc).
Prospect Height 1 BR range from $1600 and up and peaking at about $1900/2000. Actually saw some 2BRs for around $1600. Also saw a really nice 2BR on Prospect Place in a prewar walkup building. The bedrooms would barely fit a queen and the living room was on the small side but it had great light, and had an EIK. If I moved in I would use the other bedroom as an office/guestroom.
I also saw some 1 BRs in Clinton Hill going for $1500-1600 though most were in BedStuy. The Bed Stuy ones did a really great job on renovations but the blocks werent that nice. The realtors billed these as 2BR but they were railroad style or not really useable because didnt have a closet or could only fit a twin bed. The 1 BRs that I saw that were really in Clinton Hill were actually 1.5 BR in a brownstone that hadnt been updated in a while but werent bad.
If you are willing to move to the parts of Crown Heights that borders Prospect Heights ( around Grand, Classon and Franklin) you can find a smaller 1BR for $1200-1500. Please note liar brokers are calling all of Crown Heights “Prospect Heights” right now. I saw a tiny 2BR that would be great for one person on Grand Avenue. There are many apartments in the old hospital on Prospect Place between $1200-1500 for a 1BR. If you move further into Crown Heights you can find lovely well maintained prewar apartments in the $1200 range.

LOL, BO @ 4:25. Renters can be innocent bystanders.
***Bid half off peak comps***
I rent a 2b with a 9X6 “den” on Bergen and Carlton and its $2100. Its not in great shape but the bedrooms are 16X15 and the other is 12X12.
just to add to the price points.
and also a new thing people are doing is checking the finances on the place before you rent. Dont bother renting from a place that does not have at least 20 percent equity. watch out for HELOCS and places purchased after 2005
solidago, btwn what streets are you at on 3rd Ave. A buddy of mine just rented his 3br room in gowanus for $2600.00 a month, but that was in “Prime Gowanus” btwn 8th and 9th Street.
