Rental of the Day: A Room in 830 Prospect Place
Every once in awhile we like to see what rooms in shares are asking around Brooklyn. This one is in a three-family building in Crown Heights and the kitchen and bathroom is shared. (What it doesn’t specify is how many people you’re sharing with!) While we’re totally smitten with this building, the room itself isn’t…
Every once in awhile we like to see what rooms in shares are asking around Brooklyn. This one is in a three-family building in Crown Heights and the kitchen and bathroom is shared. (What it doesn’t specify is how many people you’re sharing with!) While we’re totally smitten with this building, the room itself isn’t big and the original asking rent of $780/month was pie in the sky. Now the rent is down to $660, still on the higher side for a place between Nostrand and New York Avenue. What do you think this will go for?

this is how people wind tied to radiators and turned into sex slaves for the week before they get tired of it and call their mom back home.

Grown ups live in places they can afford and not places dictated by trend.
DeadCat, how big is your apartment?
I can’t imagine someone is going to pay a broker’s fee to rent a room in house. Never mind the weekly rate, the problem is the set-up. The house is set-up as a rooming house, but registered as 1 family, the rent varies between $145 and $170 a week, do you get a lease? What kind of fee are you expected to pay? How many roommates do you get sharing a bath and a kitchen? It would have to be spectacularly cheap to make up for the likelihood something will go wrong.
oh – is this a weird SRO?
since when do people use brokers to rent out rooms?
craigslist baby. half the fun is interviewing all the weirdos.
SRO’s are looking like a juicy investmt
