184 Kent Open for Business
Curbed broke the news yesterday that 184 Kent, the once-controversial candidate for landmarking, has begun leasing with an eye towards March 1 move-ins. There are currently 22 listings up on StreetEasy ranging in monthly rent from $2,270 for the most modest one-bedroom to $6,425 for the swankiest three-bedroom.

Curbed broke the news yesterday that 184 Kent, the once-controversial candidate for landmarking, has begun leasing with an eye towards March 1 move-ins. There are currently 22 listings up on StreetEasy ranging in monthly rent from $2,270 for the most modest one-bedroom to $6,425 for the swankiest three-bedroom. As Curbed points out, however, these listing numbers are slightly misleading as they show the adjusted cost after accounting for the owner’s throwing two free months of rent into the deal. The finishes look very nice to us and the location’s great if you are into the Williamsburg thing and enjoy the waterfront.
Rentals Unveiled at Williamsburg’s 184 Kent [Curbed]
Seven Windows To Go at 184 Kent Avenue [Brownstoner]
Park Slope is actually a great neighborhood for singles, as well as young families. Singles meet, marry and remain in the neighborhood. Despite the high visibility of young families, the neighborhood is really very mixed- and that’s a good thing.
Rob- your comment on Washington Hgts and Inwood is really wacked out. Can you please limit your comments to what you know and go get a hug from whats-his-name?
“The building does look like a prison.”
It’s a 100 year old warehouse – what did you want them to do to it – knock it down and build brownstones?
Chicken,
I’ve been trying to debunk that myth for a while now. If you can believe it, there are more people with children under 5 in Williamsburg than there are in Park Slope.
Only 24% of people in Park Slope are married with children.
It’s quite obvious when you spend any amount of time in the neighborhood how filled with singles it is. New York Mag and Gawker don’t care about facts…they’re all about the story.
The prices are ridiculous.

I thought Park Slope was all about the babies. How comes there’s so many singles there?

The largest numbers of single people in Manhattan are found in Washington Heights and Inwood — almost 110,000 individuals.”
that’s cuz the men dont stick around up there after the baby is born.
those statitics are stupid cuz all gay and lesbian people are considered “single”
so are players and ballers, ho’s and mo’s!

So interesting…it says that Park Slope has one of the HIGHEST percentage of single people…almost 60%!!
***
“There are 3.8 million single people in New York City (more than the entire population of Chicago).
52.7 percent of people over age 18 in New York City are single and 37.3 percent have never been married. This compares to 40 percent of the people in the U.S. being single and 25 percent never married.
Manhattan still has the highest share of singles: 61.4 percent. And 45.9 percent of those over 18 have also never been married.
The Bronx follows Manhattan in number of singles: 57.6 percent and 41.6 percent never married. Next is Brooklyn with 52.4 percent single and 37 percent never married.
More than 555,000 single people in New York City, age 20 to 44, live with their parents (305,000 of those are men).
Outlying districts, such as Park Slope, have high percentages of singles — 59 percent or 58,000 individuals.
The Upper West Side and Upper East Side have the lowest concentration of singles — 60 percent and 53 percent respectively – but still high compared with other cities in the United States.
The largest numbers of single people in Manhattan are found in Washington Heights and Inwood — almost 110,000 individuals.”
Rob,
Over half the city is single. We have an enormous single population in NYC.
Please don’t be bitter that YOU can’t afford 2700 a month. While the price is absurd, there are single people who can and do pay that much per month on rent.
The average price of a Manhattan 1 bedroom is 3,000. Do you really think every single one of those apartments are filled with couples?
