This week is three-bedrooms, some railroads, under $1500. Used to be able to find many things (in any condition) for less but they’re just not around anymore. As ever, also check out the Bushwick Classifieds, which have a few new roommate posts and assorted other offers.
$1450 — 3br: This is an impossibly intact historic apartment, with built-ins, stained glass, wrought-iron arches, parquet floors, and ancient glazed tile in the kitchen — the original subway tile. There is even a (modest) coffered ceiling in the living room, something I’d expect in Park Slope, not Bushwick. Just amazing. The area is full of beautiful brick apartment houses and owner-occupied townhomes on tree-lined streets, and it looks like the landlord will be your neighbor. Close to transportation and shopping.

$1500 — 3br rr: There are two private bedrooms and one pass-through — good for an uneven roommate share. It’s decent inside and has a yard, but the location is excellent, with close proximity to the park, subway, and all kinds of food.
PETS OK | Willoughby and Irving | Jefferson L
$1499 — 3br rr: Two large bedrooms and an “office” in this okay railroad with a yard that is not at all in any kind of Williamsburg. And you’re near the adorable, newly-opened Little Skips cafĂ© here in the thick of Bushwick.
Troutman and Evergreen | Morgan L/Myrtle JMZ/Central M
$1500 — 3br: First, this place is at eye-level to the elevated train. It is also right at the subway stop. Weigh that pro and con for yourself, and decide if an okay apartment is good enough for this price. In my opinion, there better be nothing remotely railroad about these three bedrooms, especially considering how far down it is, which may be fine if you like Checkers. Like I do.
PETS OK | Broadway and Gates | Gates JZ
$1250 — 3br: Not many photos but there is shows a well-renovated kitchen with dishwasher and granite counters and an attractive living room with some old details. Great price even for a railroad — it simply says “Grove Street” but by the price it’s probably around Bushwick Avenue.

Wow, is that apartment with the details amazing. The sad thing is ALL the houses in Bushwick used to look this way.

Also, Putnam and Myrtle is not a bad location. I see it’s already snapped up for $1450.
