Visiting the area to hunt for apts... plan of attack?
So... If you were visiting the city this weekend (from Ithaca) and wanted to make appointments to look at apartments in prospect heights, what would be your plan of attack? I'm looking for a 2 BR for 1800 or less starting in June. I can come in this weekend and 1 more weekend in May.
Some of the CL stuff looks OK, but nothing specifically for June (when I want to move in). I'm thinking of contacting some of the brokerages from the thread over in the park slope forum, but I'm not sure how productive (or expensive) this would be.
I've found 1 listing in clinton hill from housingmaps.com that I'm looking at on Friday, but fear that its too far away from subways for a reasonable commute to midtown.
Thanks for all of your help!

I know... my bad. But hey, at least I took the time to register now!

it's been my experience that CraigsList apts. are for immediate move-in
once they find out that you want to move-in in June, they'll tell you to contact them when you're ready to move in.

Keep searching craigslist for open houses, and check with some of the local relators. Bruce at Rita Knox found my place for me, no brokerage fee (with 2 year lease) and he was very friendly... however, my place is a one bedroom and is about the price you want for a two bedroom, so you're right in looking in PH; it's much less expensive and just about as nice!
Good luck though! -
