After a sleepy first ten months of the year, the rental market in Brooklyn exploded at the end of the year, according to a year-end report from Ideal Properties Group. Only 10 percent of the year’s transactions happened in the first quarter of 2009, compared to more than 15 percent in December alone. Part of that can be attributed to the fact that prices continued to adjust downward over the course of the year: Overall rents in Brownstoner Brooklyn declined just over 6 percent with two-bedrooms, the most ubiquitous format, declining an average of $225/month to $2,380. The percentage of No Fee listings also continued to rise. Brooklyn Heights continued to be the most expensive neighborhood to rent in: One-bedrooms averaged more than $2,500 a month and two-bedrooms topped $3,100.

Nice= clean, not roach or mouse infested, no peeling paint, basically well maintained. And large enough to fit more than 4 people in the room or you might as well live in Manhattan.

bed stuy for most people is basically the boondocks! yes i KNOW there is beautiful architecture there, but that doesnt mean rents should be so astronomical!

I also suspect you’ve never been to any part of Bed Stuy.
I didn’t think you could come up with an example rob.
I am so glad the rental market is coming back to the glory days. Now brownstone owners can stop crying about the water and tax increases and the renters can go back to eating peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches so they can pay extortion prices for rents
