Rental of the Day: Newswalk Two-Bedroom
This two-bedroom rental in Prospect Heights’ Newswalk building is asking a hefty $6,000/month. There’s plenty of space—2,000 square feet, according to the listing—and the photos give the sense that it has a nice, lofty feel. The building also boasts a doorman, gym, and a roof deck.

This two-bedroom rental in Prospect Heights’ Newswalk building is asking a hefty $6,000/month. There’s plenty of space—2,000 square feet, according to the listing—and the photos give the sense that it has a nice, lofty feel. The building also boasts a doorman, gym, and a roof deck. (We’ve also heard there’s a big construction project going on very close to the building, but that may not count as an amenity.) Anyhow, does the asking rent seem reasonable to you?

“Nucking futs.”
LMAO! And I agree with Snark. I pay 2/3 the price for a 2 bedroom on the Brooklyn Heights-Cobble Hill border with a garden. As Crazy Eddie would say, the price is INSANE!
How close it it to the construction?
No amount of rent is reasonable to live in that AY construction zone when you can rent elsewhere. I’m not sure you could even pay me to live there.
I’m guessing this is what happens when an owner looks at their monthly mortgage + maintenance charges + profit margin to determine a suitable rent, instead of looking at what the local market can bear.
Nucking futs.
Oh, there it is.
Hard to get a sense of the space/layout/light with just the pictures.
Well, it’s obviously a high end apt and building….but $6000 is too high. Not sure if by as much as Maly’s saying — 30-35% — hard to judge this kind of apartment in that neighborhood. But definitely too high. (Uh, unless they get it….then, obviously not too high, ahem….)
What happened to the listing?
Well, don’t need to see the listing to know that that price is nuts.
now we see why they weren’t eminent domained out of existence.
too much $$ flowing thru the chute.
$6000 a month rent? Prospect heights? Reasonable? Not even close.
