This two-bedroom, upper duplex rental at 20 Willow Street isn’t in pristine shape but it definitely has some old-school charm. Without a floorplan, it’s also a bit difficult to tell exactly what’s going on with the layout but the old floors and windows are character-ful and a terrace, however small, never hurts either. The monthly rent is $4,000, which isn’t unthinkable for a two-bedroom place a block from the promenade. Think it’ll get close?

  2. It’s still a six lane highway completely cutting off Battery Park city from the rest of Manhattan. If you’re going to complain about the location of the BQE, you can’t ignore the West Side Highway or the Tunnel traffic which funnels right into Battery Park City.

  3. The West Side Highway is inland of Battery Park City. It has also been landscaped and made to behave more like a boulevard than an expressway. Again, I am not trying to disparage Brooklyn. I am merely offering some context for the prices. Even if the market rates BH way above other neighborhoods in Brooklyn, at some point it still has to make some kind of sense in the larger market. Otherwise, I am curious to hear what sets the ceiling on the Brooklyn Heights market? Since the inventory is so small, why is this just $4000? Why not 5 or 6? What kind of people rent there and why? I am not being sarcastic, genuinely curious.
