Bushwick Apartment Roundup 3/17/10

Here’s the deal with cheap apartments: they exist, of course, but they’re so unlikely to be offered by computer-literate people that the online ads, if they exist at all, have almost no information or photos. So I am including here two ads for the adventurous, and two regular info-rich ads for the wary. All apartments under $1050. Not an exciting week.
A few more things are available in the Bushwick Classifieds.
$1050 — 1br: Needs a paint job, both otherwise this is a pretty standard apartment and is a good price. It’s also in a good location right near the train and the new Little Skips café.

$594 — studio: This is low-income housing, but it’s newly renovated and attractive. The income cap is a generous $27,000 — you may feel poor if you make below that amount but if you get this apartment, you’ll be doing well. There don’t seem to be any restrictions on who can live here, except that this is for one person only, so try it out! Near all kinds of food and other stuff on Broadway and right by the train.

$825 — 1br: It says “newly renovated” and “all new construction” — it seems to be the latter. Which around here leaves little room for charm or pleasing proportions but with your good taste you can work it out, especially at this insane price — *record scratch* — I just realized this second that it shares a kitchen. That’s ghetto, but if you don’t cook maybe it’s no big deal. Plenty to eat in the neighborhood.

$740 — studio: It’s a “two-room” studio, and from the super tiny photo, the kichen looks renovated and it doesn’t seem to be in a basement. There’s also no info on the exact location — this may actually be Bed-Stuy, or it could be near Broadway Junction. Or it could be in a great area, and you won’t know until you contact the owner.
