Rental of the Day: 318 Westminster Road
While we’re all for floor-through brownstone rentals, they’ve got nothing on floor-through rentals in homes you can find in Victorian Flatbush, like this parlor floor apartment at 318 Westminister Road in Ditmas Park.

While we’re all for floor-through brownstone rentals, they’ve got nothing on floor-through rentals in homes you can find in Victorian Flatbush, like this parlor floor apartment at 318 Westminister Road in Ditmas Park. These places tend to be a little cheaper and more spacious, and we can’t get enough of that suburban appeal in the middle of Brooklyn. This Marketplace Listing doesn’t provide as many pictures as we’d like, but clearly the apartment’s got the space (1,200 square feet), a reasonable rent of $2,500 for three bedrooms, and a front porch and lawn. We get excited just thinking about it. How do you like it?

babs — Folks that live here (like me) call the whole area Ditmas Park.
Flatbush is huge so it needs to be carved up to make a little sense. Victorian Flatbush is a pretty good designation, I use it enough, but it’s sort of a squishy name… and if you live in a big apartment block it’s doesn’t really “speak” to you.
What’s wrong with Ditmas Park for everything? The Park Slope Historical District is a lot smaller than what we call Park Slope. Same with alsmost EVERY historical district. Not very odd to think that a neighborhood name night extend beyond EIGHT blocks.
I agree with you about the rest. 🙂
This is not Ditmas Park. The Ditmas Park historic district is south and east of here (s. side Dorchester Ave. and W. side E. 19th St). This is acutally closer to the Prospect Park South historic district, which ends at Beverley Rd. But what’s wrong with calling it Flatbush, or even Victorian Flatbush? And I don’t think you ever could get the same sort of space in Park Slope or Carroll Gardens, at any price (same sq. footage maybe, but I don’t know any freestanding Victorians with front porches in those nabes).
Seems like a lot of money to me for the neighborhood and only 1 bath but what do I know. Would it sell for 500K?
DH — I think perhaps Boerumresident is equating Victorian Flatbush with eastern Queens. Ya know, it *does* add an extra 9 mins to your commute on the Q-train.
“but it just seems high given that you would get the same amount of space in Park Slope or Carroll Gardens for probably $3500.”
yeah – 1k more. that’s alot of money to most people
> you could pay as much/more for a smaller two-bedroom in a newish building.
Well, I suppose you COULD do that in this neighborhood, a fool and his money being soon parted as the saying goes…
“get the same amount of space in Park Slope or Carroll Gardens for probably $3500”
That’s… umm… a $1,000 difference! You don’t see that as significant?
Doesn’t this seem high for a 2+BR? I don’t know the rental market out here at all, but it just seems high given that you would get the same amount of space in Park Slope or Carroll Gardens for probably $3500.
how are the schools in that area?
