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.

What is so sad is that all of you people who are saying this is way overpriced are too lazy to actually post a link to a comparable apartment nearby that rents for significantly less. I mean it is 2008, there is craigslist, it has pictures and descriptions and complete pricing information – UNLESS maybe you aren’t lazy at all – maybe your just talking out of your a$$.
“But the asking rents for this place are probably on mark.”
I believe you misspelled th last word. It should be spelled c-r-a-c-k.
Diffent prices for brownstone apts. then for elevator , new construction, apt. buildings.
Great we have options. THere is definite portion of market that has strong preference for each type.
But the asking rents for this place are probably on mark.

my building is on a side street between 7th and 8th in a perfectly renovated brownstone. i had over 40 people come through from the ad, so obviously some people thought it was an ok price.
above the chase bank is really nice, but nothing like a treelined side street near to the park.
Beautiful building. It reminds me of 15 CPW.
“i get 1700 for my studio in park slope.”
But isn’t it in the precious oh-so-desirable North Slope, not the non-Slope side of 4th Avenue? Anyhooo…
Sure, people MIGHT pay the prices this place is asking. But only stupid people who do not look around even a teensy-weensy bit.
