506 Washington Avenue: Market Rate Rentals On the Way
While initially rumored to be another PACC project, the 22-unit building at 506 Washington Avenue in Clinton Hill is in fact a market-rate rental building that should be coming on line in the next few weeks.

While initially rumored to be another PACC project, the 22-unit building at 506 Washington Avenue in Clinton Hill is in fact a market-rate rental building that should be coming on line in the next few weeks. The building, which has a range of apartment sized from studios to three-bedrooms, has an unfortunate architectural pedigree, having been designed by Bricolage. (Then again, that goes a long way in explaining why the building fails to align with either neighboring facade. And those mono-brow lintels.) We tracked down one of the partners and the agent for the listing and got some info on pricing: Studios will go for $1,700 a month; one-bedrooms for $2,000; three-bedrooms for $2,300 to $2,500. The construction’s basically done but they’re waiting on the myriad inspections that must occur before leasing can begin. “We’re hoping to have everyone in by the end of the Fall,” we were told.

Is 12.26 a Troll? That bus in on Bergen in Prospect Heights, not Washington, and across Atlantic, nowhere near this building. The nearest buses are on Fulton, Vanderbilt, and Greene. Sounds like a victim of realtor smudging.
8:51 I assure you there most definitely IS a bus on Washington Avenue {at Bergen}. My bedroom was right above the bus stop. I breathed fumes every freaking day. I moved into CH about 8 months ago, and got this price. I wish I’d left Washington years ago.
There isn’t a bus on Washington Avenue, guest 6:49. But there are plenty of trucks. And whatever people are paying for rent in CH right now, I hope they won’t pay it here. What a sad, sad shit sandwich.
I used to live on that block for years, it’s filthy and loud. I find it hard to believe people are going to pay that kind of money to sit on cheesy little balconies and breathe bus fumes while watching them fix cars across the street. I now live in in Crown Heights in a beautiful 2 bd duplex for $1200. Truly absurd.
(I’m not saying fulton is bad, there’s just way too much traffic there, both foot and vehicle)
My girlfriend and I rent a one bedroom (top floor of a brownstone) on cambridge and greene and pay 1400. Guess I got lucky. I’d never pay 1700 for a smaller place with crappy contruction, that close to fulton.
Seriously…are folks really paying these prices for rent?? Gentrification is sure as heck not taking the people into consideration.
650sf 1BRs in my building closer to the Bed-Stuy border of Clinton Hill have all rented for $1850 apparently. And we’re 5+ blocks from the C train. So, as amazing as it sounds, these rents do seem in line with the current situation, esp in light of the fact that this bldg is a half block from the train.
$2000 for a 1 bedroom is the around the going rate…for now *THERE*? Really?
