Average Price For 1BR Apt.

try rentometer.com

1600-1700 sounds very low to me for the north slope. i have a few friends who pay that amount for a studio.

i'd say 2000 is closer to the average.

I moved recently and most of the rents were in that range for 1BR. Your friends must have swanky studios.

Please, you first, describe what an "average" 1BR looks like. I mean really, it's just a meaningless number w/o some context.

this is a great tool to figure out what the average rent is in a given area. North park slope is zip code 11215. Go to this web site and put in 1 bedroom at 11215.

11217 is north park slope too.

Oh my god, the rent in north slope is sooo high! How can everybody afford that???

For $100-200 more you could find something a bit less crappy, but probably still on the south side of the slope. Though there are deals out there - a friend at 7th ave and Union has a decent 1br for $1650.

This is madness. I have friends in Manhattan's East and West Village and Harlem who all pay under $1400/month rent for 1 bedrooms. At least one of them used a broker and one learned of the "deal" through a friend. They all live near several subway options.

I just went into Berman Realty's web site (they usually have lots of no fee apartment in North Slope since they manage these properties): a studio is listed $1450, and one bedrooms are listed from $1650 to $2595.

Every time I hear this is makes me smile.

Only half in a good way though. :shock:

I like you, Charles. You're a very serene guy... but I must disagree with you. Park Slope between Flatbush and 15st, Fourth Ave and the Park is about as "diverse" as rural Norway.

Wow. If that's the case it really is time to move back to "the new Brooklyn," a.k.a. Manhattan.

The "average" 1 BR in NORTH slope EAST of 6th avenue

is usually a half floor of a brownstone,
about 550 square feet or so,
3 closets if youre lucky,
with a galley type kitchen.


depending upon the quality , the proximity to the park,
the actual building dimensions (ie how big is the half floor in this building)
the proximity to north slope trains ,
(FAST EXPRESS trains not slow locals- pardon the pun)
anywhere from 1750 - 2100

When i say average i DONT mean a piece of crap with slanted floors ,
leaky plumbing, 3 cockroaches per sq yd , and 40 year old appliances.

a larger one (like 800 sq plus)
with a full seperated and possibly eat in kitchen and a br large enough
to get a king bed plus several pieces of furniture in AND still have room to walk around is more like 2100-2600.

this is also about the same price for small 2
or a 1 with office.

i checked in on a mgt co in the village.
the same 400 sq ft piece of crap that they were renting 4 years ago
for 2400 is now on the market 3195. (barrow at bedford)

think of prospect park as you would central park.
park slope as the UES for a moment.
now look at prices on York ave and 79th st in nyc
and compare them to 5th ave and 79 th.

big difference right ?

similiarly a 500 sq ft one bed on 4th and 15th will
be remarkably lower price than same size apt on Carroll at PPW.

best of luck !

If we were in reality, I would say an average one bedroom in Park Slope is worth no more than $1400. I know people who have rented on 7th avenue for a small converted one --> two bedroom for $2400. This is total nonsense, and there are better deals out there. Further, there are great neighborhoods all over Brooklyn. They just are a bit further than what is easy.

The problem is, if it is a problem, is any affordable houses (400-600,000) and condos (150-250,000) are in beyond the coastal neighborhoods. I would say buck the trends, find a quite neighborhood and buy, as it is always bettern to own than rent.

A note about PS diversity. I would challenge anyone to name a better diverse neighborhood in the city, state, or country. Park Slope is not perfect, but as a person born and raised, and travelled throughout America, it beats the crap out of anywhere else ... (still)

I think you're confused buddy. West Indian nannies and Mexican laborers don't quite count towards making a neighborhood diverse.. if that's what your going off of.
