Rental of the Day: 230 Park Place
This one-bedroom at 230 Park Place is nice enough, but it’s the location that’s the real selling point for us. Situated between Vanderbilt and Flatbush, you’re a few blocks from the park and the 2/3/4 subway lines, not to mention a half block from the B and Q trains. You’ve got easy access to both…

Situated between Vanderbilt and Flatbush, you’re a few blocks from the park and the 2/3/4 subway lines, not to mention a half block from the B and Q trains. You’ve got easy access to both Park Slope and Prospect Heights as well. With that said, $2,500 isn’t cheap for a one-bedroom apartment without much sex appeal, although this looks big and has an office. Think it’s worth it?

I’m starting to think any rental in prime NYC that actually gets to the advertisement stage is by definition overpriced. In my 13 years in NYC I can’t think of a single person that ended up in a rental after seeing a listing on a website or classified ad.
I consider things like a dressing room and separate foyers and dining nooks to be “bells and whistles.” This is really nice, it makes my head hurt a little, trying to figure out how to squeeze a kid’s room in somewhere, but it would be perfect for a couple. Why don’t they make all apartments this big and rambling?
Advice for future tenants/gentrifiers:
If you have problems constantly hitting up mom and dad for the cash or don’t want to room with 3-5 other beardos for the pleasure of living there, don’t worry. Just borrow one month’s rent. There is a man under the Brooklyn Bridge who has the deed and will sell it to you for exactly $2500. Once you have the deed you can set up a booth and make a living charging tolls.

The floorplan (pats broker on head) looks really nice and spacious and has a ton of closets and a doorman and is close to lots of trains/Prospect Park/amenities. It’s a little pricey, but I can see it going for like 2,250/2,300 and someone being very happy in that space.
$2,500 is pretty much the going price for a nice, renovated 1bedroom apartment in the Upper West Side. A friend of mine just bought, and had to find a new renter for his LL for September 1st to break his lease. Nice, huge 1 bedroom duplex, 1 and 1/2 blocks from Central Park, doorman building, no fee $2,600 was the best offer he got. He had been renting it for $2,800 for the past 3 years, and paid the LL the difference for the remainder of the 8 months on his lease.
I’m sure it would be the going price in Murray Hill, or the Upper East Side.
More expensive than Manhattan, Maly? A large, well-located 1 BR in a doorman building? I don’t think so.
Looks like a different listing, Fjorder.
Perfect location – but that’s a lot of money for a one bedroom with no bells and whistles.
