Rental of the Day: 293 Columbia Street
We don’t see a lot of rentals pop up in the Columbia Street Waterfront District, but this three bedroom is all the way down between Summit and Woodhull, practically in Red Hook.

We don’t see a lot of rentals pop up in the Columbia Street Waterfront District, but this three bedroom is all the way down between Summit and Woodhull, practically in Red Hook. It definitely looks better suited for a group of young roommates with such a small kitchen, but the but the reno’d bathrooms are nicer than you find in your average rental. Not convinced the $3,500 $3,300 a month rent takes into account the difficulty of getting to a subway from here, not to mention that the location is straddled between two neighborhoods right near the Gowanus Expressway, but it’s hard to put a price on having a jacuzzi tub, right? (Update: Rent reduced today to $3,300. Make a difference?)
293 Columbia Street [Realty Collective] GMAP P*Shark
Would like to note that the rent was just dropped by $300.00 today as you can find out on Streeteasy.com. I would also like to add that most of the pictures were from our photo archive and we could not take pictures of the space due to the tenants moving situation. Since they just moved out we went ahead and posted new pictures!
I would like everybody to know including the tenants that we have never illegally entered an apartment. We did not have keys and needed to go through the tenants to schedule appointments. I even remember having a conversation with the tenant and we discussed her move back to our mutual home state. I wish the tenants well with their move back south and their new arrival!
I would like everybody to know that this is a great deal for a 3 bed 2 bath and to check out Streeteasy for more info!

“suggesting the type of squalor favored by British lager louts”
oddly, i am the tenant of that apartment and, oddly, my husband is british.
what is unknown about this posting is that 1) we are in the midst of packing up an apartment and moving to another state with 3 weeks notice 2)i work two jobs BEST OF ALL, 5) the realtor (manzione and realty collective) illegally entered the apartment, without our consent to take and post those pics.
So, yes, it was messy….stop being so smug.
What is truly horrifying about this is the breech of privacy and, well, illegal entering of our apartment.
Beware of the above realtors.
The interior of the apartment is quite nice, actually, and the neighborhood is great. I’ve paid much more in Carroll Gardens for much less.
fwiw, there’s a $300,000 Ferrari perma parked in the only garage unit. And a new daycare downstairs.
make sure that there is a refrigerator . . .
This is the Gino Vitale crap hole above all crap holes. Lots of illegal parking outside, mob wanna be neighbors in the building, the interior was built with the finest Sicilian bricks and fixtures…
The good news is that your friends will be able to find the place easily, just tell them to look for the huge ugly building ob Columbia near Summit. The bad, your balcony view is of a parking lot of dead mercedes benz’s and over grown weeds. the other view a soup kitchen exhaust pipe and or the BQE.
The floor through brown stone apartments with more square feet in the area run from 1600 to 2300, so this is hyper inflated by a builder who has perhaps the worst taste in all of Brooklyn.
“I like this neighborhood, but not this apartment”
ditto – location is fine. they might get that price but might need to drop it a little more to 3,000.
sounds reasonable for 3 bedroom and since good elementary school. Elevator bldg, central air, views, and I would think has some sort of balcony even if listing doesn’t mention it. Those french doors lead somewhere.
Yeah, outside of building makes you do a double take. that clock. the brick color.
“The kitchen includes stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher and is fit for a chef!”
I guess a “cooking nook” would be a more appropriate description.
I see it argued here all the time but it doesn’t make much sense to me: How does being neat and doing dishes equate to taking good care of an apartment? I guess you could make the argument that dirty dishes attract vermin (what if they are submerged?) but other than that, i don’t get it. Once you move out, these things have no bearing on the state of the apartment.
