This Prospect Heights studio comes with loads of amenities.
In New York City, renters often have to choose between luxury amenities and historic charm. But here we have a Prospect Heights studio located in a former industrial building — the Billiard Factory Lofts — that offers loads of character and a whole lot of contemporary luxuries, too. Listed for $2,400, it’s priced just below the local median. Could this apartment be the best of both worlds?
Address: 363 Prospect Place #2G
Price: $2,400
Size: Studio
Neighborhood: Prospect Heights
Best feature: Prospect Heights offers proximity to Prospect Park, an easygoing lifestyle, and good bang for your buck. This studio has all of that, plus a suite of great amenities, including a doorman, gym and shared roof deck. Only seven other rental buildings in this neighborhood have comparable amenities.
Inside the unit itself, there’s in-unit laundry, a dishwasher and built-in microwave. Tall windows look out onto a tree-lined residential block, and an exposed brick wall and dark oak floors give the place a sophisticated charm.
Why it’s a deal: With a spate of newer buildings along the Atlantic Yards corridor, rents in Prospect Heights have been rising recently. The median price for a studio was last recorded at $2,468 — just above what this studio is asking.

Biggest drawback: The unit is a studio, and a small one at that, but the efficient layout packs in a lot of features. And if it ever gets cramped, the Billiard Factory Lofts building offers common spaces like a theater, lounge, and multiple common roof decks where you can spread out.
