$900 — studio: You know how I like cheap! If you don’t mind the train going by your living room, this place is great. Wood floors, good details, looks like you could even hang a curtain and make a bed alcove in the back. Rents are going up again, it seems, so if you can land this, you’ll be sitting pretty for a while.
Broadway and Halsey(?) Halsey J
$1400 — 2br: Very cute, bright two-bedroom with french doors and wood floors. It’s not a “diamond in the rough” — the immediate area is just fine. It has one of those narrow little alcoves that jut toward the street that I can only imagine being good for putting plants. Cool anyhow.
Harman and Cypress DeKalb L
$1290 — 1br: Love this: the renovation is sort of in sync with some of the original details. Tin ceilings, wood floors, exposed brick, etc. Good price and right near Goodbye Blue Monday.
Broadway and Lawton Kosciuszko J/Myrtle JMZ
$1650 — 2br: Nice place, I guess this is in that line of old brick buildings on Thames that never got knocked down for warehouses. “Brand new everything.”
PETS OK Thames and Varick Morgan/Jefferson L
$1600 — 2br: Cool old tub and fireplace, great light, owners live downstairs. That must be why the whole thing is carpeted. Great block with lots of big trees.
Eldert and Broadway Halsey J
LOFTS: For those looking for lofts, here’s a building with a bunch.
Bushwick wannabe: Ehhhh, the sound of the buzzer means Stuyvesant avenue is in Bedford-Stuyvesant and not Bushwick.

don’t forget, if you move to the eldert st apt, you get to share the block with ME! what an honor. wonder which house this is.
the studio may be above the pigeon store on broadway just below eldert (i think i recognize the building across the street).

Re the one bedroom on Broadway and Lawton, the “yuppies” are far and few between, and installing a typical country kitchen from Home Depot does not constitute a “complete restoration” to the “original 1920s” look, especially as this building is Victorian.

But the Broadway/Lawton listing is remarkable in another way: The agent can spell.

Double tee-hee on the Bushwick wannabe post – I guess if they listed it as being Bed-Stuy the asking rent would be $200-$300 less?

JL, I can’t believe you don’t know those people — you probably live within 200 feet of them!

This looks like a bedbug resort to me….
