This two-bedroom floor-through in Gowanus isn’t anything flashy, but it’s got everything you need and there is lots of light and quiet, according to the listing. There are tons of cabinets, stainless steel appliances and a dishwasher in the kitchen, as well as a little window seat. The living/dining area is relatively large, and it has a little alcove that could serve as an office. It also has sound-deadening insulation and windows, according to the listing.
The configuration might be a difficult setup for roommates because the second bedroom is nursery or office-sized. On the plus side, it’s only a block from the F/G/R trains at 4th Avenue and 9th Street. What’s your opinion of it for $3,200 a month?
192 9th Street [Ideal Properties] GMAP
Yeah the street noise in that area would be intolerable, especially since the changes at 4th/Atlantic/Flatbush turned 3rd Av into the primary BQE backup.
GMAP link is wrong. At that location, there better be “sound-deafening” windows. That location even just LOOKS noisy. And kind of ugly. The apartment itself seems pretty good. Pick it up and move it to a sidestreet.
