Oh, and I have to add… $1,345 for Patchen and Gates? $1345 for a one-bed in Bushwick?! Seriously!?
I totally agree Rob… and that’s my price range, max 1250. But I guess everyone is supposed to have a six-figure income even to rent. $1200 for a one-bedroom (of course not in BH or North Slope) seems to me like it should be more common… so adults can live like adults. But that’s not how it works I guess. Sucks to be me. 🙂
When I first rented it in Feb 08, I believe I might have been about $100 or so below market. I did not raise the rent in 2009. I have excellent tenants.
I think these prices are too high up in that neck of the woods. Walk around and see!!!!
1200 is the sweet spot for a one bedroom, dibs has it correct. it’s do-able for a single person who wants to live alone. when youre charging 1500 for a one bedroom you most likely will 2 tenants who are a couple. then they break up, one moves out, 2-3 riff-raff friends are invited to stay to help the rent, and turn your apartment into a crack den. moral of the story? price your apartment (1 bedrooms) as if you want just ONE person living there.
*rob*
dibs, you only get $1200 cuz your rental is TACKY! Granite and a new bath, yuck. Surely some of those original tasteful brownstones would rent for a lot more. You know, cast iron wood-burning stove, icebox, and gas lighting.
Dave, is your rental priced below market? Or is it spot on? That sounds like a sweet price for all that you include.
some of these are on some pretty crap blocks in bed stuy. $2,375 for throop ave and hart street? ugh.
I suspect these all came from a post on the bedstuyblog
These places are all northern Bed Stuy, closer to Broadway. Yes, most look newly renovated. Some are even a bit of a walk from the JMZ trains.
I rent my garden level one bedroom with new granite kitchen and new bath plus yard rights plus W/D in basement for $1,200 on Stuyvesant Ave, 5 minute walk to the A train.
I think these are overpriced.
