i just passed this place and thought i’d like to live here.
i really like this nabe. the 3 bd is very appealing to families – you can go to ps 31 – 5 star school and it’s not over crowded. there’s the excellent Greenpoint Y for preschool and summer camp programs (and, also it’s a Y with swimming, classes, etc…).
Franklin street is fantastic! there’s excellent restaurants and shops, and it’s charming as hell. it’s actually very “brownstoner-ish.” feels like fort greene. NY mag just wrote about the new restaurant Annella right on the corner of Green and Franklin-spitting distance from this building.
the franklin street playground is very nice for kids and the full on mcGolrick park is close by, which is lovely and was featured in about a zillion shows and movies in the last year. in fact, so many shows were shot there, that residents started to complain. if you don’t know this park, go – it’s very nice and full of beautiful old, old trees.
up on mcguiness, there’s a big key foods. in the neighborhood in general, there’s tons of small fruit and vegetable stands and butchers, drug stores, banks, etc..
i think it’s a great location. those who don’t probably don’t know this area well. agree with above who mentioned that it’s very convenient for people going to midtown to get the 7. folks going to downtown would take b61 bus to bedford L or g to lorimer L. also, a quick walk or ride over the pulaski bridge and you have access to all the shops and restaurants on Vernon Blvd in LIC and the piers and the playground on the water. and, PS 1 is so close too. we’ve been exploring more restaurants and galleries in LIC recently. and, yes, went to wine tasting at a LIC wine shop 2 weeks ago.
If you have a car, you can shoot over the bridge and up Northern Blvd and hit up a giant, clean Pathmark and Home Depot and PC Richards, and a bunch of other stuff. The target in Elmhurst is actually good unlike the Atlantic Center one. Of course, close to hop on either the BQE or the LIE.
re the price – well time will tell. our building is seeing rents in the $4K range for 2 bedrooms. don’t confuse old with new. people will pay for new and A/C and washer/dryer and other comforts that new brings. if you want a great school and a convenient commute to midtown, this beats going further into Brooklyn for a many people I’m sure.
Oh and the building is still a construction site and will not be done until the new year
(for the cheapest unit)
Fun with math:
The real rent is 2450 – meaning you need to have an annual income of 97,000 to live here.
“Overpriced Condos……..sit on market…….Overpriced Rentals………sit on market…….then what????”
Developer/owner goes bankrupt…..rentals offered at reasonable rates.
These idiots are going to miss the peak rental season and be empty until next summer that is fo sho. I wonder if they even make it to next summer and I wonder who holds the paper?
“Dirty Hipster 2100 was the cheapest net effective apt. after one and a half months “free”. So yes the lease would be for more.”
that’s asinine brickoven.

Awesome – I don’t make enough to live in a ‘luxury rental’ but make too much to get ‘affordable housing’
