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?

you can get cheaper rentals closer to trains in Carroll Gradens.
but everyone already said that
Almost bought in the condo across the street, and thankfully didn’t go through with the deal. That was back in spring of 2006. Having the Smith and 9th street station closed for nearly two years is going to be a bummer! The area is really marginal. Red Hook projects not a good selling or renting point either.
This may take the cake for best broker hype/act of desperation on a rental this year. Sure, the neighborhood is changing, but last I checked this elevated section of the BQE isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. The northwest corner of the building is probably 40-60 feet from the edge of the highway, with Court Street and Hamilton Avenue at ground level. There is the tire changing shop across the street and the sound of the air compressor will surely help lull you to sleep.
I watched this thing go up, and while I cant comment on the interior finishes, the exterior was slapped together after sitting and rusting for quite a while.
“Nestled” next to the BQE? How cozy, like a duckling in its mother’s wings, or a kitten nuzzling up to its mama’s warm, fuzzy belly! Except that “mama” in this case is the highway to hell! ROFL
“close to the Simith/9th St F/G”
Which will be shuttered next year, of course.
This area is a great neighborhood, unfortunately the people who’ve lived there for years don’t seem to understand why and now they’re building this monstrosity and charging $3500 for a $2000 space, and don’t even get me started on the joke known as Leo’s Corner.
no
Yeah. I agree with the above. I was watching that thing go up during the past year, and its a piece of crap.
For renting, sure, no problem, so you deal with the BQE twenty feet from your window. But the rent is way too high.
….two bedroom…close to the Simith/9th St F/G, and two people splitting the rent…maybe…..$2,500/month.
I wouldn’t pay that much for a shaking building. There is no way being that close to the BQE that building isn’t going to shake.
Add to that the downshifting trucks at all hours of the day and night.
I used to live a block away from here and while you get used to it to a certain extent, you shouldn’t have to ‘get used’ to something for that much money. There are much nicer places in better parts of CG for equal or less money.
