Rental of the Day: 981 Putnam Avenue
Here’s a fancy reno close to the J at Gates Avenue in east Bed Stuy. By Brooklyn rental standards, it seems high end. It’s a duplex with three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a private deck and access to a big shared backyard. There’s central air and heat too. Asking rent is $3,500. But at the end…

when i lived in williamsburg – it was 20 minutes swipe to turnstyle to get from Marcy to Delancey – so i call bullshit on this 10 minutes to manhattan from the ass-end of bed-stuy.

YEs, the Jtrain is a great means of transportation to MAnhattan, but Its no one that’s new to Brooklyn but you I guess. Rentnext to the J corridor, hasn’t reached 1166 a bedroom. Its about 1k per bedroom currently.
Next to the L stop or the G stop rents have reached 1200 plus a bedroom. Not here.
So thanks to Rebbeca for pointing out the ever exceeding asking per bedroom.
