Our Rental of the Week is pretty irresistible — especially for roommates. This Williamsburg 2BR beckons with two queen-size bedrooms in one of Brooklyn’s buzziest neighborhoods. There are plenty of modern amenities too, all for well under the area’s typical price. And did we mention the private balcony?

Address: 125 Boerum St. #3L

Price: $2,299

Size: 2-bedroom

Neighborhood: Williamsburg

Best feature: Two big bedrooms and a balcony in Williamsburg? What’s not to love! Both bedrooms have plenty of space for a queen-size bed, plus large windows and closets. The shared living area is pretty spacious as well. In addition, the kitchen is tricked out with fancy cabinets and stainless steel appliances, and the sleek bathroom boasts custom tile. Plus, this Williamsburg 2BR is in a fairly new-construction building. That means it incorporates modern features like central heat/air, a “virtual doorman” system, and built-in Bluetooth speakers. Nice touch!

Why it’s a deal: The median asking rent in Williamsburg is $2,800, according to the StreetEasy Data Dashboard. That puts our Rental of the Week a full $500 a month below average for this popular neighborhood.

Biggest drawback: About that balcony. It’s great — but it’s accessed through one of the two bedrooms. So one roommate gets it and the other one, well, doesn’t. (Unless you keep the whole apartment for yourself! Home office with balcony, anyone?) In addition, the shared living room does not appear to have any windows. But both bedrooms have frosted glass doors, so the light from their big windows can stream through.
