Bushwick Apartment Roundup 8/3/07
Agents and owners: if you want to feature your apartments in the roundup, it’s free! But please send me an attractive, high-resolution photo, or several photos.
#1 — 2 bedroom loft — $2300: I know it’s pricey, but this place is awesome. Great kitchen and bath, big windows, nice floors, and 1200sqft! There’s exposed brick, which they painted over…but at least the color scheme is decent. Walk to the Jefferson L and Northeast Kingdom for dinner. PETS OK Troutman and Wyckoff
#2 — studio — $850: I don’t see what’s so “amazing” about anything in here, but it’s $850 with gas included. Just take it. PETS OK Covert and Broadway
#3 — 2 bedroom loft — $2200: A bit expensive, but really cool set-up, and all utilities are included. Ready by August 15, says the agent with the stupid serious pic of himself above the apartment photos. Near the Kosciuszko J. PETS OK Greene and Broadway
#4 — 1 bedroom — $1200: Wow. Great kitchen with a dishwasher, all utilities included! Aha, but here’s the catch — it’s pretty much an expedited application to live in the Hope Gardens projects. Woodbine and Central
#5 — 2 bedroom — $1750: Know what’s interesting? The further away from civilization the apartment is, the more care and quality is taken with the renovation. This is borderline luxury from the looks of it. The L and the JZ are each a two-minute walk, though it’s 10 minutes before you even get out of Bushwick going toward the city. This is on Bushwick Avenue just before it becomes a depressing highway surrounded by parking lots and buy-here-pay-heres. Granite and Bushwick
As much as I added filters to screen out stuff that is actually in Bed-Stuy, apparently Bushwick is just so much more desirable than the hood across Broadway that agents and owners are now just flat-out lying.
If anyone knows of an apartment in the neighborhood that is pet friendly and would be available around October please let me know, we’re in a sublet through then and we really would like to stay in Bushwick!!!
yo dude the first one is also listed as Troutman & St Nichols. http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/abo/388050031.html
another awesome broker trick.
hah! does this work? [fixed -- Jeremy]
He’s a very good looking man.
When he shows you the apartment, does he pull out the keys from under his cheek bones?
Matt are you moving in with your wife, or boyfriend. Wherebouts do you want to be? What kind of pet, and how much you willing to pay?
Lots of these apts. look great, nice and big, and good value for the size.
Nice apts. realtor pic is a riot. also did anyone hear a baby kidnapped and abducted at 454 Central Ave – near u Jeremy?
Sue – I just heard about that. Strange.
I’m going to start distinguishing myself by using “Matt L” – I am the Matt with the boyfriend, not the wife. Yes, we will be moving together. Ideally we would like a one bedroom for under $1500, although we’re willing to push the budget. We have a medium sized dog and two cats. We’d like to stay in the area, preferably as close to Maria Hernandez park and the Jefferson L as possible.
Hmmm. Good luck Matt! I would say keep walking around the park and look for notices in windows. I see them from time to time. Also, there are two recent renovations that I know of, just walking around the perimeter of the park, can’t hurt to ask the workers, possibly find out who owns the buildings…
The Woodbine apartment is actually on a pretty block that has its own recently renovated community garden.
