The 5 Brooklyn Apartments Everyone Wanted in 2019

The most popular Brooklyn apartment in 2019 was this recently renovated duplex in the South Slope. Duplexes are always crowd-pleasers among StreetEasy shoppers, but two things really set this place apart: its price — it’s asking more than $400,000 less than the median price for a 2-bedroom in Park Slope — and its 373-square-foot private rooftop terrace. The best part? It’s still on the market. Jospeh Halimi and Bruce Henderson of Corcoran represent the listing.

This 2-bedroom was the second-most popular Brooklyn apartment in 2019 and is still on the market. It comes loaded with practical amenities including four closets, two full baths, a washer/dryer hookup, and a balcony. The building offers a gym, but if you prefer to get your cardio outdoors, you’re in luck: Prospect Park is just two blocks north. Shai Bernstein, Yair Tavivian, Ariel Tavivian, and Francis Russo of Douglas Elliman represent the listing.

This 2-bedroom co-op in Williamsburg was the third most popular Brooklyn apartment, racking up more than 900 saves. The unit is located in an HDFC building, which helps explain its low price. In October, it sold for $315,000, $34,000 below its original asking price and more than $1 million below Williamsburg’s median price for a 1-bedroom. Allan Zapadinsky of Keller Williams was the listing agent.

This Crown Heights 2-bedroom packs a whole lot of value into its 433-square-foot layout. It comes with two true bedrooms, a recently renovated kitchen, and in-unit laundry. After pulling more than 800 saves, the property sold on May 21 for $493,000 —  $442,000 less than the neighborhood median price for a 2-bedroom. Allison Dubuisson, Justin McMahon and Jessica Peters of Douglas Elliman represented the listing.

Here’s another Park Slope 2-bedroom with a private roof deck to round out the 2019 list of most popular Brooklyn apartments. This one is still on the market and comes with two bathrooms, in-unit laundry, and a chef’s kitchen. The wine fridge will come in handy when warm weather arrives, because the 437-square-foot rooftop is outdoor-entertaining perfection. Listed by Michelle Moshe and Mark Martov of Corcoran.
