Discussion about
Im looking to rent a nice 2 bedroom in williamsburg, which buildings/areas are the best?
InvestNYC, it depends what you're looking for, but in general, the northside around the Bedford stop is most desirable (and therefore priciest). Don't know what your timeline is, but looks like there's a nice amount of rental inventory getting ready (see the corner of North 12th and Berry - that's a lot of units).
299 Graham. Inquire within at Cono's.
thanks, timeline is mid dec. It seems the prices are still up there around that Bedford line.
**Bedford Stop
There's a huge new rental building coming online soon right on the water - we were very interested but couldn't wait. We're on Roebling and N 8th - very convenient to subway (L train at Bedford stop, as noted.) Our goal was to be near the subway but not right at the epicenter BETWEEN the subway and the loud bars. This seems to be working. My advice: walk the neighborhood at midnight on Saturday night and as well as in the daytime - machine-shop and truck-idling noise can also be a factor.
Roebling and N 8th is around where I want to be, do you mind stating how much you pay?
More than I wanted, but at least there was no fee.
you seem to be having a bit of an identity problem.
Oops. It's true. Trinityparent was my old identity when I was old. Now that I've sold my UWS classic 7 and moved to Wburg, I'm young again. Look for me in New York Magazine.
when will you be in nym?
Welcome back to youth!

Who's a jerk? Not columbia county - he's obviously a gentleman of discrimination and taste. I will be in a NYM story about Boomers moving to Wburg next week. Hope my picture turned out ok.
neat. can't wait to see it.
Oh my god, everyone's on drugs again. Hold up. OP: are you Simon?
i have no idea what's going on on this thread, but i think anywhere up to graham stop is great. southside, stay west of havemeyer. anything nice will between $2.8 to $3.3K i'm thinking for prime burg on northside near bedford L.
good luck.
Thanks wisco, thats my budget, now just have to find something in those areas.
20 bayard street is great
I dont see anything available there, did you see something allensender?
We are opening the leasing office at 184 Kent on the waterfront in January and then at 34 Berry St near McCarren Park. Check out http://rosenyc.com/New-Development/184-Kent.aspx or http://rosenyc.com/New-Development/34-Berry.aspx

What will the going prices be for STUDIO - ONE and TWO BEDS and will there be any FREE months Rent?
"What will the going prices be for STUDIO - ONE and TWO BEDS and will there be any FREE months Rent?"
299 Graham. $800/month for two bedrooms.
whats the story with 65 Ainslie, i see it advertised heavily, is the block crappy?
You're going to have to define "crappy" -- that word could apply to the entire neighborhood.
InvestNYC, I wouldn't call it a crappy block (you've got both the L and G at your doorstep, plus Dumont and the great-if-somewhat-overpriced Sunac for groceries), but you will have to deal with a fair amount of noise on Union Ave. It tends to get a lot of traffic, including trucks (it's 2-way and right next to the BQE). Aesthetically, it's by no means a tree-lined, brownstoney street, as it's in full flux given all the construction around here. Given the BQE's proximity, I'm not sure it'll ever be "pretty" but if that's not a concern, you could do much worse. I do think the RoseNYC buildings will be quite nice, with 184 Kent probably going at quite the premium.
it looks like its pretty industrial
InvestNYC, define what you mean by "best". That means very different things for familes vs. grannies vs. singles vs. hipsters vs. whatever you prefer.
What are you looking for in a neighborhood.
Fayek Pricing is not released yet. It is likely that we will be offering incentives such as a month's free rent. If you sign up for the preview list, you will be the first to know when the pricing is released.
