To continue helping the family searching for an apartment, I’d suggest Kensington and the Ocean Parkway corridor. Also, just walk around Ditmas Park, go as far south as Avenue H/I/J (gets kinda Jewish around J), and talk to people in the big apartment buildings. There are lots of places below Cortelyou, from Stratford to E.18th. I know of plenty of young professionals moving into apartments around there for around $800//month, rent stabilized. And there always seem to be craigslist listings for Kensington/Ocean Parkway in your price range.
well, to add to last post…there are SOME places around Ditmas Park (Cortelyou stop) in that price range but not many. Check here…

Try further out on the Q Train. Cortelyou Road stop. Lots of apartment buildings and a main street with businesses poised and hoping for the arrival of people who can add character.
You’ll find apartments there in your price range.

An apt of the size you’d need will probably set you back 2000 a month in FG, 1600 to 1800 in Clinton Hill / prospect heights depending on where you’re looking and 1600 in Bedstuy / Crown Heights.
Unfortunately I don’t think you’ll be able to get anything for $1200 anywhere near these neighborhoods.
11238 is Clinton Hill not Fort Greene. I live on Washington between Greene and Lafayette. By the way, Clinton Hill has very few two bedroom apartments. You should probably expect to pay $1500-$2000 in this area.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you aren’t going to find a 2BR apartment in Fort Greene for $1200. A studio costs $1300 these days. You’re going to be extremely lucky to find a 2BR for $1200 anywhere near Fort Greene or Clinton Hill.
11238 is part of FG (I used to live on the block of Greene between Fulton and Cumberland and it’s 11238 but now I’m in 11205).
I’m not terribly familiar with the 11238 neighborhoods but a 2BR for $1200 is going to be hard to find, isn’t it?
Also, you should post this on the P-Heights board, no?
FG/CH/B-S is more 11205, 11206, and 11221, if I’m not mistaken
My husband and I have been searching for a 2+ bedrooms apartment for 4 people (2 adults and 2 children) and have had the hardest time. I’m getting desperate and need HELP. I’ve even started viewing apartments in Jersey. Hopefully someone out there has some strong leads for us where we dont have to move in with anything but the rent and security- not $4000, please.
Our budget is $1200 a month.
And yet, 10:48, it’s okay to defend Bed Stuy but not PLG. Nobody here jumps all over people defending other neighborhoods like what is done regularly to those defending PLG. The proof of it is right here in this thread.
I live in PLG and am happy to provide a critique. How’s this – there’s a lack of amenities, and the council persons for PLG have been ineffective historically. Also, some of the local residents’ compulsion to play loud music in their cars and the need to make everyone else hear it too, is ridiculous.
