Rental of the Day: 379 2nd Street
This is not your everyday rental listing. This four-bedroom at 379 2nd Street in Park Slope has a mix of more modern looking renovations and pre-war details, but there aren’t enough pictures to get a real feel of the place. (We do love that piano, however! Too bad it’s not coming with the place.) Anyway,…

This is not your everyday rental listing.

(We do love that piano, however! Too bad it’s not coming with the place.) Anyway, the renovation feels a little soulless but everything appears to be in good shape. It’s also kinda weird that there’s only one and a half bathrooms in the entire house. Speak of the entire house, it’ll run you $7,900 a month. Whaddya think?

Friends rent a nearly identical brownstone in prime Prospect Heights for exactly a third of this. I knew that place was below market, but not that far below. But I guess places like this don’t come up often.
We have those metal poles in our cellar.
Not my cup of tea.
how the hell do you price a rental like this???
it’s not like there are good comps or a database to use.
why not ask 10K or 5K?
but agree here w BHO, this seems like a first of bad option for brownstone dreamer (or flipper) turned nightmare. second step is the short sell.
My thoughts:
– if it’s in park slope, it’s Second Street, not second Place
– prime PS, and there are few 3/4 bedroom homes
– looking at the market, they are trying to charge Cobble Hill/Brooklyn Heights pricing.
Who knows? there’s so little available, and the demand at that price point is so light, they need a little bit of luck.
7,900 American dollars to rent a little house so far from the Park seems steep to me, but things are nuts today. I guess a lot of people looking to move to Brooklyn have family money.

I think another brownstone dream has turned into a nightmare.
