Rental of the Day: 1218 Dean Street
This two-bed, two-bath duplex at 1218 Dean Street is another Crown Heights apartment with some nice period detail. We’re digging the dark woodwork, but from the looks of the kitchen, the details haven’t been preserved throughout. The rent also comes in steep, at $2,400 a month. But if the duplex is indeed 1,600 square feet…

But if the duplex is indeed 1,600 square feet and everything is in working order, who knows. Care to weigh in?

Actually, 40 years if you include my apt years on EP between Franklin and Classon. Then again, I suspect that I’m a little older than you. 🙂
Like yourself, I would also like a wider choice of restaurants. On the other hand, with so few in my vicinity, aside from glatt kosher ones, I tend to spend a LOT less on food. Mostly, I cook for myself. Even using good ingredients, it’s a lot cheaper. But, as I mentioned a while back, CHS has no shortage of banks, bakeries, butchers, fruit stores, drug stores, and other amenities. If you spend enough, they also deliver.
Wow- 35 years here! I moved here in 2003 from Bk Hgts. Loved it- never had a problem. I do wish there were more restaurants (but they are slowly coming!)and that I had the kind of MTA access I had in the Heights, but other than that, I don’t miss it at all. Love having the LIRR station a block away!
Welcome, bxgrl. You are feisty … and we seem to have a common foe. 🙂
I can’t believe how much better CHN has become over the 35 years I’ve lived here. At the beginning of that time, when I mentioned to my (minority) students that I generally walked to the Nostrand Ave LIRR station to get the train to my parents’ house, they couldn’t believe it. They joked that seeing a white guy walking around, the criminal element must have thought I was a plain clothes detective. I never felt threatened, even then; maybe I was just naive. 🙂
thanks morralkan.I prefer to think of myself as – ummmm- feisty 🙂
And I get tired of the Crown Heights bashing- this isn’t the first time its happened. I love it here, and there is a lot of great stuff happening. I live around the corner from the apartment- the block is beautiful.
You’ve got a great attitude, bxgrl! People who live in some of the more “in” hipster neighborhoods look down on CHN and CHS, but it’s really their loss. Those of us who live here are better for their absence. That being said, the block is nice, the apartment so-so, and I agree with you and some of the “rational” guys around here that the apartment is probably smaller than described and somewhat overpriced. Then again, put up a new structure with a glass facade on a horrible block, and people turn over their trust funds to move in.
rob- you’ve never been here but let me ask the neighbors, a number of whom are gay and have lived here for years.
Yep- they all say the same thing- “isn’t that the guy who thinks visiting Europe is the same as reading about it on the internet? Oh yeah- he’s got real cred with us” *eyes rolling*
Stick to what you know, rob- buffoonery.
Maybe 2,400 btw Washington and Franklin – but not off Nostrand.

Ah, I see SnarkSat’s jaundiced electronic eyes need a little Windex.
Tybur6, now you’re getting it. if this was in one of the richie rich BK hoods and the rich renter CHOOSES to overpay cause he/she “wants” it, that’s fine by me cause the person can afford to over pay it.
I like crown heights alot and spend a lot of time there. The hood overall (ie the whole hood spanning the borders) is just OK to me. but the premium blocks (which this is among them) are pretty good. complaints about retail diversity are valid but that too is on a decent upward trend. retail density is pretty good. subway access is good. schools are so so. lots of room for improvement but by no means shitty – especially when most rents here are pretty solid.
