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.

3:04 – And your relevant contribution is what, exactly?
Hit Craigslist or visit ANY of the local Slope realtors and you will see how grossly overpriced this place is.
2:55 nice little anecdote – too bad your situation is the rare exception and you are paying below market rate rent to boot. How about posting a listing or two of something actually available so as to make a relevant contribution.
re: neighborhood names.
An friend of mine calls the area between 3rd Ave and Carroll Gardens as ” Dope Slope” because he’d always meet his drugdealer on the 3rd Street bridge. Then he walks back up the hill to Park Slope.
2:53 – yeah because I cant hear every goddamn word being said and every step taken by my upstairs neighbor in a brownstone! And the creaking stairs are a nice touch too!
Sorry but poured concrete floors are far quieter then wood beams and plaster.
That may be, 2:53,
that your friend pays up the wazoo to rent in a similarly-hideous location in Manhattan, but the difference is: that’s Manhattan, the vaunted “City”. That’s your difference right there.
Hey 2:53
“You all don’t know the NYC rental market very well.”
We don’t have to. THIS IS A BROOKLYN BLOG ABOUT BROOKLYN PROPERTIES.
When were we EVER talking asbout what IDIOTS pay in MANHATTAN?
Its about a price being charged in BROOKLYN!
Get it?
My brownstone rental apartment has new electric, new windows and new appliances. The landlord lives in the building and fixes everything promptly. It’s also about 60% the price of this place.
Sure, it doesn’t have laundry in the building, but the money I save every month on rent would pay for over 2000 pounds of fluff-and-fold service at the laudromat less than a block away.
I can live with that compromise.
I call this neighborhood, ” Burp”. It doesnt stand for anything really. Its just a feeling I guess…
