Hidi ho neighbors! @ you said what 0_o & boberic
I’ll be there in February on the 12th floor. I wholeheartedly agree with you both. Sure there’s a nostalgia associated with living like the Huxtables in a brownstone and crown molding and original woodwork look very nice but having a brand new dishwasher in an apartment and not having to lug my laundry every weekend at the laundrymat was a huge appeal to me. I never had a garbage disposal before in my life so I can’t comment on that. And to pay less for it? Of course the commute will be shorter, two less stops and one less transfer. Not to mention Stevie Wonder gets his hair did in the salon that’s in the building…I’m just sayin’
And yes, it does get expensive at the Avalon when you go higher up. I recall looking into a higher floor and it was way too expensive.
dirty_hipster @ 9:52pm, Dec. 9: Starting prices @ The Brooklyner are for the first floor of living spaces which start on the 5th floor. Unit prices increase $5.00 per floor. When you get above the 15th or 17th floors, there’s an additional $35 clearance fee. The $35 clearance fee may only apply to the east facing units due to the fact that you will have absolutely no view until you get to the 17th floor. Pricing then reverts back to $5.00 per floor for floors 18 – 25. Currently, Clarett Group has released floors 5 – 25. The leasing agent informed me that floors 26 – 50 would be released at a later date and most likely with a higher base price. “Select†units have washers and vented dryers. There will be a centralized laundry room in the building.
Williamsburg would be more fringe considering it’s subway lines are awful. You can only go lower Manhattan or to 14th st. That’s it. You can’t go above 4th street at all from there. And if you live on the L line then it really sucks because you’re stuck with a transfer no matter what. And when you’re out late at night, the worst thing about taking the train is ever having to transfer late at night.
At least with this area around Flatbush the trains actually go uptown and you’ve got more options. A cab ride would also be more reasonable since you’re just over Manhattan Bridge.
Snark – Garbage disposals are awesome – quit hatin!
It just looks a little suspicious when all of sudden, not one, but two people, log in for the first time to loudly defend a building. It also looks weird when those two same people latch on to praising the same odd amenity.
So fine, you’re both just folks moving in. My apologies for inferring anything to the contrary. Enjoy your new home.
“I’m paying 1900 for a one bedroom, which compared to the market seemed entirely reasonable. I guess having a better view is worth an extra 600 a month?”
1,900 is a fair price, especially if there are free months rent on top of that. that might also explain the discrepancy btw the Brooklyner and Avalon, as the Brooklyner might be renting out the lower floors at the moment.
As far as Avalon goes: Apartments on the higher floor are typically way more expensive than the lower floors – I forget the exact formula but I think it might be $25 extra per month per floor you go up.
In an attempt at full disclosure… I just checked the prices at Avalon’s website, the cost of the currently available apartments are way more expensive than what I’m paying for my apartment on a lower floor. I’m paying 1900 for a one bedroom, which compared to the market seemed entirely reasonable. I guess having a better view is worth an extra 600 a month?
I stand by the fact that it’s a great building. I can no longer in good faith defend the rents though.
are they giving out free PCP when you sign a lease at this building or something?
Jeez – chill out dudes, or go rub one out while looking at the above picture.
