Rental of the Day: 542 MacDonough Street, #2

The kitchen and bathroom aren’t much to look at but they appear serviceable, and the living area is nicely sized with original shutters.

The bedroom seems a little small, but it will probably look bigger when (if?) that gigantic dresser gets moved out. It’s east of Malcolm X but on a nice stretch of MacDonough and a pleasant walk through Stuy Heights to the A/C at Utica. What do you think of it for $1,550 a month?

Yes it is…but with the low inventory these days many homeowners are ‘testing the waters’ with top dollar prices.
