MySideofStuy, in my experience the JMZ is very convenient if you commute to the LES or Wall Street. But I have found it very difficult to get to Grand Central. The L is much better. Have you had a different experience?
Also, Snappy, I believe rents of $600 to $800 per person are more the norm — at least this is true on the JMZ side of things. I really don’t know what the market is in the Pratt area. Maybe it’s higher. Does anyone know?
Tdeezy, my landlady also has been hitting up the hipsters and getting $1900 for rentals in Bushwick. What is up with that? I thought they were all supposed to be moving back to Williamsburg now that all the condos there are half off.
The rental rates attest to why they’re still available.
(You have got to be kidding me! Bed Stuy?)
***Bid half off peak comps***
Tybur6, I would be unlikely to rent from someone whose google map didn’t work. I’d be afraid they’re not conscientious. Or, more likely, a broker.
Is that ridiculous?
They arent overpriced if you individually can’t afford them Rob – they are overpriced if they cant get rented at the asking price. I also wouldnt be so sure that these arent units where the tenant pays their own heat – most new buildings (whci at least a couple seem to be) are setup like that.
I dont know the neighborhood all that well so I cant say for sure but a 1br with 2baths and a garden is pretty rare – so if it isnt totally misleading I’d say that is a good price. The rest….I think it truly depends on the immediate neighborhood
“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.”
Ha ha ha, Denton, we’re going to test your theory. Just kidding.
acrownheights lady, your pronounciation is of kosciusko is how they say it in the stuy
Have you all taken a walk around the norther part of Bed Stuy to observe what is going on? some of the apt especially located cusp Bushwick is completely changing I have been in the
area for 5 years and noticed the complete transformation.
Some of these prices for rent are not far off especially for these newly renovated apartment
