Free Rent at J Condo
While we haven’t heard a lot of groaning yet about the rental market (in fact news has been relatively good compared to Manhattan), eager owners are starting to do some tap-dancing for prospective renters.

While we haven’t heard a lot of groaning yet about the rental market (in fact news has been relatively good compared to Manhattan), eager owners are starting to do some tap-dancing for prospective renters. To wit: The J Condo is offering one month of free rent to anyone willing to sign up for a $2,400-a-month studio, according to this listing on Craigslist. Other incentives you’ve heard about? GMAP
“So… apartments are overpriced in Manhattan so we should be OK with the fact that they’re overpriced in Brooklyn too? Plenty of those buildings in the Financial District are offering incentives like this too, as is PCV/ST (or at least they were last year).”
Rents are out of control everywhere. I’m just pointing out that this may be an attractive alternative to someone paying 2800 bucks a month for a small dark studio in the financial district. Am I “OK” with it? Hell no. But this is reality. I’m sure we’ll see many more interesting things this coming year, as landlords scramble to keep their buildings full
that “2 bedroom” place in stuy town is a flex. It says it in the add so its really a 1bed room with a wall cutting the living room down.
also dave, hipsters dont live in the jcondos
who the heck wants to live in Stuy Town?
“Do you realize how many people are paying 500 more dollars a month for crappy studios just one stop away in the financial district?”

Hey check this out Asshats! When the dumbasses find out that you CAN live in Manhattan cheaper that Brooklyn this will be the end of the “experiment”..

The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
2,400 dollars a month for a studio? Get real. Money no longer grows on trees. The government is giving it for free but it is not giving it to renters who can give it to undeserving homeowners
fishermb – last i checked (which was 2 years ago) 1 bedroom prices were around 2,800. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were 3,000 now. really nice building though.
Does anyone have any idea what pricing is like at the Courthouse Apartments (Court&Atlantic) or the Archstone building (Montague&Clinton)? I need a 1-bedroom in May around $2,000 and would like to stay in Brooklyn Heights. Are these buildings negotiating?
This wouldn’t work for me – too far from the wintuck hardware store.
