A leasing agent reports that one unit is left: a one-bedroom asking $1,995 a month. Previously, another one-bedroom unit here was asking $2,350 a month, and a two-bedroom was going for $3,300. Aptsandlofts.com said it has received asking prices for all the rental units so far. </blockquote></p> <p><a href="http://www.brownstoner.com/blog/2013/05/pricey-units-at-new-crown-heights-build-go-for-ask/#disqus_thread" rel="nofollow">http://www.brownstoner.com/blog/2013/05/pricey-units-at-new-crown-heights-build-go-for-ask/#disqus_thread</a></p> <p>..All but one is rented. All of those that have been rented, rented for their asking price. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/crown-heights-and-prospect-lefferts-gardens/147-rogers-a-new-650-sq-apartment-2150#post-766152 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 16:00:21 +0000 Epiclylaterd 766152@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>Also, each apartment had two entrance doors. One that opened up to a mudroom kind of thing and then the actual apartment door. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/crown-heights-and-prospect-lefferts-gardens/147-rogers-a-new-650-sq-apartment-2150#post-766150 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:58:46 +0000 Epiclylaterd 766150@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>I went in just for fun to check it out. The first Apt we saw was on the first floor, $1900, had washer/dryer, dishwasher, stainless steel appliances, granite counters, central AC. The walls are made with some sort of soy something or other which helps keep the cold air "lowering the electric bill by (insert %, i dozed off)." </p> <p>Second one we looked at was $2200 I believe, same as the above but with access to a private outdoor area, and then gates that opened up to a shared backyard area for everyone in the building. Bike racks up against the wall to hang bike vertical. </p> <p>Overall, looked nice. Didnt read any fine print or anything like that but hell, having a washer/dryer and dishwasher sounded like a pretty nice deal. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/crown-heights-and-prospect-lefferts-gardens/147-rogers-a-new-650-sq-apartment-2150#post-766125 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 10:20:37 +0000 whynot_31 766125@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>Update: Streeteasy is still reporting that they have listings.</p> <p><a href="http://streeteasy.com/nyc/building/147-rogers-avenue-brooklyn#building_activity_documents" rel="nofollow">http://streeteasy.com/nyc/building/147-rogers-avenue-brooklyn#building_activity_documents</a> </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/crown-heights-and-prospect-lefferts-gardens/147-rogers-a-new-650-sq-apartment-2150#post-765757 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 18:20:33 +0000 whynot_31 765757@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>P.S.

They add zero functionality or quality of life and serve no purpose but to inflate rents. When I moved into the Alma Realty complex a while back they had plain appliances but still managed to attract "sophisticated" tenants just by the prices of the places. SS/GCTs would have priced out a lot of quality tenants. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/crown-heights-and-prospect-lefferts-gardens/147-rogers-a-new-650-sq-apartment-2150#post-765487 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 17:37:53 +0000 whynot_31 765487@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>As if on cue, Curbed put out a list of apartments that one can rent for around $2200 in a few nieghborhoods:</p> <p><a href="http://ny.curbed.com/archives/2013/03/08/what_2200month_can_rent_you_around_new_york_city.php#more" rel="nofollow">http://ny.curbed.com/archives/2013/03/08/what_2200month_can_rent_you_around_new_york_city.php#more</a> </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/crown-heights-and-prospect-lefferts-gardens/147-rogers-a-new-650-sq-apartment-2150#post-765477 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 13:57:40 +0000 eastbloc 765477@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>There's nothing goofy about granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.
