This week we’re focusing on the Myrtle-Broadway Hub. This area has an amazing retail mix — fried chicken, organic granola, hipster cocktails, major grocery store, and more coming soon. It’s also full of colorful characters, art spaces, and on the J train is 15 minutes to the Lower East Side.

$1400 — loft: I like the look of this place — the brick is a nice color, the windows are large, and it seems to have a nice layout. The size is ample as well. Not sure what makes it “organic” but there you are.

$1800 — 3br: Beautiful apartment with great original details, nice floors, a bay front, and at 1000sqft, it’s massive! This stretch of Jefferson Street is an eclectic mix of architecture — some amazing, some terrible — and the train is at the foot of the street.

$1550 — 2br: Nice renovation of this building — almost certainly there was nothing original to salvage inside, but they did leave some exposed brick. Seems large and is certainly convenient to the train — the tracks are right out your living room windows.

$1350 — loft: Strange, long, and rather makeshift-looking, but the front room seems to have good light and it’s close to the train. This same apartment (or maybe another in the same building) was a couple hundred dollars more expensive a while back, if I recall.
