Im very curious to know how much interest there might be if I were looking to move when my lease is up. No photos at the moment but just wondering what people think
It’s 1 bedroom in a 4 bed, 1 bath in ridgewood, very close to bushwick border. 10 min walk to knockdown center, 10-12 min walk to Wyckoff ave popular bars and spots, 10 min walk to Dekalb L (30-35 min to USQ from the front door).
Roommates are all women in our mid 20s who work at bars + part time gigs in the day. First floor.
Not ideal: extremelyyy minimal natural light in apartment (especially my room), no AC, no dishwasher, no laundry in building (laundromat 3-4 blocks away), it is definitely not a luxury building. Management can be frustrating and rude according to other tenants but I’ve personally had no issues (yet!)
Ideal: rent controlled and $800 a month, utilities usually $40-50. Very simple application process.
Some peers have mentioned it might be harder to find a new tenant than I think due to the not ideal aspects of the place combined with it being further out from the city. I thought that was crazy as I feel the “faults” are common aspects of living in nyc, and easily worth the cheaper price compared to everything else I’m seeing these days and the rising cost of literally everything. Especially if someone wants to save money or be within 40 minute commute of Manhattan. I personally really enjoy going out to the bars and restaurants nearby and do so more often than not.
Thoughts?
