Stuyvesant Town

they're offering one month free...but you should try to negotiate more since they haven't been renting very well.

Are there other such buildings which are offering incentives and/or rent reductions that you might know of?

most bldgs. are offering incentives either pay agents fee or free month(s) rent.

how much are they asking for a 1 bdrm apt?

Approx $3100, give or take a bit for location within stuy town

this is why a huge chunk of the complex is completely empty.

Prices aren't warranted... but they refuse to lower them or they'll have thousands asking for reductions, and banks calling in the loans...

I visited a friend over in S-Town over the Holiday and was shocked by the "public-housing-like" feel of the entire development! I am sorry to say this, but it's a dump (and I don't say this about many places).

I can't imagine anyone paying over $3k/mo to live in one of their 1br units. There are so many nicer and more convenient bldgs in the City--in much nicer areas--in that price range. There is nothing wrong with public housing, but I won't want to pay $3k to live in it.

the rooms are very large and stuy town is allowing portable walls to be up which allows two or three people splitting the rent.

Hi julia where do you live?

I got this Julia... I live in 1 West 67th street apartment 24 :)

Sniffles... you're not being stalkish here? no?

:)

That sounds like frat boys splitting an apartment. Probably quite a loud building...

I sublet in stuyvesant town a few years ago...the rooms are large but it had a public housing feel to it. I don't undertstand how they're getting $3100 a month. I called last year about and they wouldn't budge on the price.

Well, there is good reason there are huge blocks of empty apartments there...

Not worth the $$$, and not willing to lower prices... yet.
