Average rent for a 1-2 bedroom with an outdoor space

augustpt1 · January 2010

My wife and I are looking to move to Brooklyn this summer and we're trying to get an idea on what the typical rent is for a one to two bedroom apartment with small outdoor space in Prospect Heights. Ideally we're trying to find something that has a small backyard so we have a place for our dog to go to the bathroom. I've looked on Craigslist and it seems to be all over the map with price, plus alot of the stuff they have listed on there seems to be listed repeatedly so I'm not sure if they're too high for what they have. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you narrow the bedroom choice down?

Outdoor spaces are more plentiful in Brooklyn then elsewhere but will still cost you.

Rentometer is a good resource but only goes by bedrooms not outdoor space.

We'd be fine with going with a one bedroom. We've gotten rid of alot of clutter and really don't need a lot of space.

the reason youre perceiving so much variance has something to do with the generality of your search. its a "compare apples to apples" kinda thing.

not surprisingly
if you were asking about, say ,North Park Slope my quick answer would be
"anywhere from 2000 - 5000..." depending on what it is you actually want.

example

a HALF FLOOR 1 BR with 8x8 steel deck
is not remotely comparable to
a 2 BR DUPLEX with a chefs kitchen, a formal dining room and 20 x 45 yard.

its a different animal altogether and there will be a huge price difference.
i hope that makes some sense and gives you a little bit of insight.

We're certainly not picky people. We don't need a fancy or large kitchen. We simply need something that has the necessities such as a stove and refrigrator and something that is not ridden with bugs or pests. We're use to living in 500 to 600 square foot. So if we found something along those lines that would be fine. Parking is something that would't be needed either. The only major requirement is some type of yard for our dog to go to the bathroom.

I am not a landlord but I think you should be careful about making the statement that you need outdoor space for your dog to use as a toilet. If I was a property owner I wouldn't want my outdoor space being used that way. Most dog owners (myself included) in Brooklyn walk their dogs in the street -- and hopefully clean up after them.

I'm with the above poster. Dogs need to leave the house for a lot more than a bathroom break. They need exercise and socialization, with other dogs and people, and psychologically need more than a few hundred square feet of territory. My dearly missed (deceased) furry partner wouldn't even pee in our yard, but enjoyed it very much.

I agree with nonhipoldbklynchick

if you understand what 600 sf really means, then you should be able to get a good deal for about 1800 per month.

Here is a space in crown heigths?

Also be aware that many listings that say Prospect Heights are really in Crown Heights and as far as Bed Stuy.
