It’s no secret that a great many of the people who move to Bushwick come for the relatively cheap rent. But that doesn’t mean that all apartments in the neighborhood are exactly cheap or, necessarily, fixer-uppers. Let’s take a look at some spots that may be out of the typical resident’s price range or may require extra roommates to push it into an affordable range, if for no other reason than pure entertainment.
$1795 — 2br: Once you look past the hipster clutter, the exposed brick is eye-catching and the new hardwood floors, along with well-kept kitchen and bathroom are pluses. The layout is hard to totally decipher from the photos, but the location right off the Jefferson L near restaurants and nightlife. For those who may not mind an industrial neighborhood, but would prefer to live in a perhaps less industrial-feeling space, this could be a good find.

$2295 — 2br: If you’re looking for a upscale loft, this may be for you. The kitchenette may be a little cramped, but it’s got style, as does the mezzanine staircase and rail. It’s a bit sterile, yes, but raw and industrial isn’t for everyone. Throw in the apartment’s supposed "ample closet space" and the building‘s pool, jacuzzi, lounge, billiards, laundry, and parking, and here’s a good setting for any Ikea lovers out there.

$1750 — loft: It may not be available until October 1st, but if it’s within your means and is what you’re looking for, it seems to be an impressive find. This corner space looks to get a good deal of light and while the photos don’t entirely reveal the layout, what can be seen does seem like a good fit for a working artist, with room to separate work from live. There’s nothing flashy about this one, but some places don’t need flash. This part of the neighborhood seems to have new stuff opening lately, and it’s right near the JMZ hub.

$4250 — 4br loft: In a lot of ways, this one is the exact opposite of the other apartments featured this week. Not only is there no flash, but there are barely even walls. This is truly an industrial loft. We happen to know there is some building out in the works in other parts of the warehouse. This sort of project — building your own loft — is definitely not for everyone, you’ll need some savings, good contractors, and good friends to help you work it out.
