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?)

“Each bathroom contains black and white tile.”
Why would you mention that? Does that really help find a renter? (“I liked the bigger place with the blue bathroom tile, but I’ve really been looking for something a little more black & white.”) WTF
“I think it’s pretty well-established statistically that owners take better care of their property than renters.”
Probably true. Anecdotally, I take much better care of my apartment (within my landlords house) than landlord does her house.
“British lager louts.” Priceless!
I think it’s pretty well-established statistically that owners take better care of their property than renters.
Owners are not necessarily cleaner than renters but I think they wouldn’t be so dumb as to post pictures showing your clothes all over the floor and the beds unmade if they want to rent or sell. Could they make the place look more unappealing?
wait so owners are cleaner than renters? that’s ridiculous. a biohazard is a biohazard, regardless of whether you own or rent.
in my opinion (outside of the projects anyway) it’s home owners who look the skankiest.
*rob*
I like this neighborhood, but not this apartment
Also, most traffic turns on President or Summit to get to Red Hook so not really that bad on this particular block.
Too expensive, but really not that bad a location. Actually, if you have a car you would like it better than Carroll Gardens proper where it is impossible to park. Moonshine and Jalopy right down the block. This building is kind of funny in its attempt to be more decorative than a typical Fedders.
To my surprise, this neighborhood is actually quiet. I expected to hear highway roar, but in fact the Brooklyn Heights promenade is much louder.
