Bushwick Apartment Roundup 3/26/08

Dear apartment hunters: when you call on apartments you see here, please mention you saw it on BushwickBK.com!

This week is all affordable railroads in North Bushwick:

$1050 — 1br: Again, the cheapskate in me must weight the inexpensive-but-sorta-cruddy apartment over the others. For this price you can put a few hundred bucks of your own money into livening the place up, without giving the landlord an excuse to raise the rent. And this is a pretty good location! Win-win, and both the wins are you.
DeKalb and Knickerbocker Central M/DeKalb L

$1400 — 2br (rr?): The photos are of the unit under renovation — I don’t know why it’s so difficult to take new ones upon completion. Good, basic apartment with the same new off-the-shelf kitchen every apartment in Bushwick has. Great location on an attractive block near good stuff to do and eat.
St. Nicholas and Willoughby Jefferson L

$1300 — 1br: Another solid, standard apartment in Bushwick with that same kitchen, though this one seems huge. On Troutman, the residential backbone of the new Bushwick… oddly enough.
PETS OK Troutman and Evergreen Myrtle JMZ/Morgan L

$1225 — 2br rr: Strange apartment in a meh location with views of the elevated train. Not luxurious, but pretty cheap as rent seems to be going these days, so I think it’s worth looking at if you don’t mind some roughness.
Harman and Myrtle Knickerbocker M/DeKalbL

$1175 — 1br: I ignored these for a while because the ad is annoying and the building is ugly but the prices have come down for the last unit, so if this truly is a one-bedroom, it’s a good deal. It’s in an okay location and it’s renovated.
