Rental of the Day: 562 Court Street

This eight-unit baby nestled next to the BQE was originally conceived as a condo, but it recently popped out as a luxe rental instead. The two-bedroom, two-bath apartments are all around 1,000 square feet and renting between $3,200 and $3,500, according to Brown Harris Stevens broker Helen Van Rhyn. The rents aren’t cheap, but the units get amazing light and all the finishes are excellent, like the ones you’d find in a new condo or luxury rental, said Van Rhyn. People have been a little wary of being so close to the highway, but I think that’s going to change since Carroll Gardens has become such a hot commodity. Think it’s hot enough for a building that looks like this to command these rents?
562 Court Street Listing [Brown Harris Stevens] GMAP
I don’t think I’ve ever seen the peanut gallery so united. Even the broker/owners posing as guests are afraid to post something positive.
Is this a subtle new tactic by Mr Brownstoner to get a group hug going or something? find the cheapest disaster listing imaginable, then promote it with a straight face?
Can you imagine what the suckers will feel like when they view the BHS listing, don’t even notice there is no picture of the exterior, and then go to see the apartments?? It’s hillarious, they’d be walking down the street looking for the building, getting closer and closer to the looming BQE, the roar of the traffic starts to drown out their conversation, and they’re thinking WTF, it can’t be that building so close to the BQE that you could get hit by a car in your living room!!
“If this isn’t a sign of the apocalypse, I don’t know what is.”
Nah, a real sign of the apocalypse would have been if this place had succeeded in selling out as condos.
These rental listings are kind of embarrassing for an SVP of Brown Harris Stevens, no? And after reading the broker’s statements above, BHS’s respectability just went down a couple of notches in my mind.
i saw an ad in the same area for a 2000 sqf house/warehouse with a garage for $3000
If this isn’t a sign of the apocalypse, I don’t know what is.
just looked at their listing. funny how there are no pictures of the exterior…
“all the finishes are excellent, like the ones you’d find in a new condo or luxury rental” doesn’t look like it in the photographs. they look like finishes that imitate the ones in contemporary condominiums.
I had some interaction with Van Rhyn recently, and was underwhelmed, to put it mildly. She’s dreaming if she thinks these prices are going to fly in this location.
