Here’s an updated two-bedroom railroad apartment in the trendy part of Bushwick. It still has original details such as moldings and tin ceilings but was renovated several years ago with a new kitchen, new bath and new electrical. The 650-square-foot third-floor walkup has a dishwasher and garbage disposal, but only a tiled stall shower and no bathtub. Rent includes heat and hot water, and there’s laundry in the basement. And it’s only one and a half blocks from the Jefferson Street L stop on Starr Street and half a block from Maria Hernandez Park. Do you think it’s a good deal for $2,000 a month?
