Rentals: 377 Franklin Avenue 90% Rented
We’ve been watching 377 Franklin Avenue rise since 2006, wondering for much of that time what would become of the boxy modern structure. Now we know.

We’ve been watching 377 Franklin Avenue rise since 2006, wondering for much of that time what would become of the boxy modern structure. Now we know. Turns out the developer opted for the rental path and, according the listing agent Rapid Realty, nine out of the ten units have rented. One bedrooms have gone for around $1,800 and two bedrooms for $2,600; there were some parking spaces on the ground floor that have rented for $200 a month as well. These prices sound about right to you?

1) This is Clinton Hill
IT’S BED STUY, ACTUALLY
2) it’s near Pratt
MEANINGLESS UNLESS YOU’RE A STUDENT, PROFESSOR OR ARTIST
3) 1/3 mile walk to the subway (A train, Fulton Street) isn’t so bad.
IT’S BAD. WHO WANTS TO WALK 1/3 OF A MILE TO THE TRAIN?
4) Hip stuff in Fort Greene isn’t too far
DEFINE “HIP STUFF”
5) It’s new construction
WHICH IS MEANINGLESS IF THE PLACE IS POORLY BUILT. nOT SAYING IT IS, BUT JUST BEING ‘NEW CONSTRUCTION’ IS NOT NECESSARILY A POSITIVE.
Seems a bit high, but not so bad considering it looks like a nice place.
AGREE IT LOOKS NICE
4:10 here-yes, it’s (westbed) bed stuy, and a much sought after part of bed stuy given the close proximity to ch/fg/williamsburg/pratt. there’s a great, vibrant scene unfolding in this area and i’ll leave it at that-it’s not overpriced-it’s fairly priced.
every mugger in the area is just going to hang out around this place.
4:10 WTF are you talking about? This is BEDTSUY and very overpriced.
4:10, you’re way off: I live in Brooklyn Heights and have never been to westbed. But I didn’t mean to diss the area and don’t like when people do that – just was kidding around. I’ve heard great things about the area from many of my favorite posters here.
it’s not overpriced for the area. it’s the clinton hill/pratt/williamsburg swell effect. biff champion probably lives in park slope and has never even been to westbed, as people are calling it. it’s hot.
…or a bad walk to everything probably more appropriately.
overpriced for the area. a good walk to everything.
yes, brownstoners – new is so so worth it. reality check – people prefer clean spaces with nice new appliances and, horror, things like central air conditioning and laundry. shocking. not everyone creams in their pants to live in dark chopped up rooms with suffocating woodwook and gross college student style A/C units in their windows.
