Any of these look like good deals?
Bay Ridge is lovely, and has some great restaurants… good to hear that the prices are reasonable still.
Bay Ridge was always considered a premier neighborhood and very pretty, can’t understand why folks these days are so down on it.
Did you ever see the “Mushroom house”? 🙂
“i can never figure out how these people afford such rents”
Six figure salaries.
Prices in Bay ridge are much more affordable. Studios are still 900-1100 and a real onebedroom in a coop building can be had for $1200-1500. A bit of a longer strip but we have plenty of nice brownstone/limestone buildings too
yes, of course. they are shocking indeed. they’ve even gone up a ton in the last 7 years i’ve been here.
in 2000 it was still not unreasonable to find a 1000 a month studio.
that is no longer really possible.
i can never figure out how these people afford such rents.
I understand what you’re saying … but you’re going to laugh when I tell you the rent that I paid for a really nice two bedroom apartment on 6th Street, right off 1st Avenue (LES) back in the 70’s…$150.00 a month…
When I moved to Brooklyn, I rented a great floor- through with beautiful details, two bedrooms, right off Prospect Park and 12th Street for $160.00 a month… 1975 ’till 1982.
So you can imagine how shocking these rents
are to me!
you think these prices are here?
half my friends rent 4200, 4800 i bedrooms in manhattan.
2 bedrooms are over 5k and studios are around 2000-2500.
these are the prices.
once you realize this, you will see why so many people who are interested in staying in nyc long-term are clamoring to buy.
How do people afford these rents? It’s getting beyond ridiculous.
Feel very blessed to have been able to purchase our co-op apartment in WT back in ’83…
We always rented before 1983, and might have continued doing so, but we saw the writing on the wall back then, and knew if we wanted to stay in the neighborhood that we loved (my husband grew up here) we had better buy while we could afford to do so…
I’m reeling from sticker shock, and amazed at
how unremarkable these apartments are.
I usually spend my time on Brownstoner boo hooing the fact that we missed our opportunity to buy and will forever be renters, but we’re in a real two bedroom Center Slope for $2200. All of a sudden I feel really lucky.
Actually, Price This Apartment would be a great feature.
I’m about to rent a 750-sf floorthru garden 1 bedroom in center Slope between 4th and 5ht Avenues now — what does that go for?
