Is that $2200/month per person for the 2 bedroom apartment in Boerum Hill or total? I only ask because $2200/month for any 2 bedroom in Brooklyn these days sounds like a blessing, never mind in Boerum Hill.
My friend left her studio apartment in Clinton Hill and the rent jumped from $1500/month to $2300/month between 2010 and 2012.
Another friend's landlord in Greenpoint has been using 5 units in his building as an AirBnB hotel and is now asking $4500/month for 3 bedroom units in the rest of the building. And those "bedrooms" are really just plywood separators.
Another friend just signed a lease for a $3k/month 1 bedroom with a garden in Bed Stuy.
I love living in Brooklyn but I'm getting pretty tired of seeing the same fancy cocktail places, $16 burger joints, and exorbitant asking prices on apartments deeper and deeper into bk.
- diminoten 12y ago$2200/month on a 40k salary is simply un-doable, so I'm guessing it's $2200 for the apartment, which is great. In DC that'd get you a 1BR/Studio. I'd figuratively murder someone to get a $1500/month studio in DC.
- djb_hackernews 12y agoBetween 2009 and 2012 I had a 450 sqft 1 bed at 25th and K for $1550. nice building, laundry, bike room, courtyard, rooftop, etc. They are out there, but I definitely got lucky.
- forgotAgain 12y agoIt's $2,200/month total + utilities (internet + electric). They looked a lot before finding it. It's a fourth floor walkup with no laundry in the building.
- mtalantikite 12y agoWow, they lucked out -- average 1 bedroom prices around there are up around $2600/month in Boreum Hill: http://www.mns.com/brooklyn_rental_market_report http://www.mns.com/brooklyn_rental_market_report
