Rental of the Day: 126 4th Avenue

When we first posted about the big new rental on 4th Avenue and Baltic a couple of months ago, the general consensus about the building’s design was more or less summed up by one comment: Beaten badly by the Ugly Stick. Again and again. Nevertheless, the development brings the first batch of new-construction rentals to the Boerum Hill-Park Slope-Gowanus border area on 4th (the avenue has, of course, otherwise been flooded with condos builds), and so it’ll be interesting to see how much demand there is for these apartments. Listings have gone up for one- and two-bedroom units in the building at 126 4th Avenue (ready for move-ins by March), and they’re looking to get between $2,400 and $2,500 for the one-bedrooms and around $3,000 for the two-bedroom, 1-baths. Amenities include central air and many of the units have terraces, but tenants have to pay for their own utilities. Rosetta Farrell, the Heights Berkeley Realty agent who’s handling the listings, says the rents are standard for the area, and that she expects the apartments to be snapped up quickly given the dearth of new rentals in the Slope. Considering all the amenities and the fact that it’s a new building, I think they’re very reasonable, says Farrell.

Could we please just stop fighting and enjoy a piping hot pie from Papa John’s? I’m buyin’!
The market will decide, no?
Let’s all check back in a month and see if they have flown off the shelves or languished.
Thank you for the listing, 4:36….
You have just proved that the previous 85 comments about this place being grossly overpriced was nothing but a bunch of hot air.
Per usual.

I’m 4:36. Yes that is my point, I don’t think these units are overpriced. And the roofdeck of the $2300 1BR is shared so not exclusive to it I think.
“Any grown person who lives without central air and laundry is ridiculous.”
So, all of those lovely brownstones that lack a/c are ridiculous?
I think you are on the wrong blog.
And in the wrong city. Try Houston. The whole damn city is air-conditioned. And unlike New York, you actually need the a/c more than a few days a year.
4:36 – doesnt that sort of make the case that these arent really overpriced – $2300 – for a (presumably) comparable apartment (stainless steel appliances etc…) on the top floor of a walkup (it says its a 5plex); trading a roofdeck for an elevator and central air???
I don’t know but based on this it seems like $2400 for one of these is pretty close to market (within $200 anyway)
any grown person who lives without central air and laundry is ridiculous.
i had central air in the bloody ’70’s for god sake. stupid dirty A/C units hanging out of ugly old buildings has to be the tackiest thing ever. way way uglier than this plain new building.
i own, but i would consider this clean rental – a/c, laundry AND parking? that’s hugely helpful.
of course, i also thinking renting is ridiculous for grown ups as well.
this is on the other side of 4th (a plus), may not have an elevator (a minus) compared to the units being discussed. also is there a broker fee for the new units being rented?
