market average prices for 1 bedroom or stuido in PH

whats the market average should one be paying say for 1 bed room or studio with all utilities covered in PH.

i been seeing on criags list for like 900 bucks around average. i was wondering if thats a bit too much ???

usually $900-950+ with heat & hot water but no other utilities. looking to rent out a place?!

***oh, and in my experience this is for either a studio or 2-room studio aka a "1-bedroom"

I'd say $1200 - $1600.

i'm paying 800 for a large studio on vanderbilt!

Yikes, what am I doing wrong?

The closer to Flatbush, the more and more expensive it gets.

It also depends on what your place is like. I'm paying $1500/mo. for my 1BR. I also pay for my own heat (the unit has its own thermostat, so that's legal). However, the place is brand-new and really nice.

I think the bottom line is that real estate in this city is absurdly expensive, and always will be.

or you have lived in the place forever or know people or something...

my friend's BF pays $800 for a HUGE (1000 square feet) 2 bedroom on st.marks just before flatbush. but, obviously, the place is rent controlled//stabilized and there are family ties... so, LUCKY.

I'm afraid even to ask how much for 2 or 3br lol

just head east, east of washington even... but that's a different message board!

Yeah, man. That's crazy. I was paying just a little more than that for a 3br in PH proper...and I think I moved in after you did! :?

We rent out a 700 sq foot REAL one bedroom between Vanderbilt and Underhill for $1600 a month. There is laundry and decent storage and use of the garden (sometimes). That doesn't include electric or gas.

you guys seem to pay more than market .

I think they rent it out, not rent it. So lucky them!

As for dan.h's problem, two words: Jewish. Hospital. I get mad for you guys just on principle!

I don't know about that. When I was looking in August/September, I didn't see much in this neighborhood listed outside of the $1250 and up range (1 bedroom).

Well, yeah... I get mad at myself too. My space is pretty big though - 820 sq ft. I was actually about to move.

That said, if anyone wants to rent an AWESOME 1200 sq ft loft with an entire wall of exposed brick for $2100/mo on St Marks @ Vanderbilt/Underhill, let me know and I'll put you in touch with the real estate agent. Really, the place is awesome, and I'm pretty upset because I'm about to turn it down!

I live with three other people in the Jewish Hospital. We pay $2500 total, and I pay $700 (the most of anyone) for a large bedroom. I feel like we got a very good deal.

I'm basically trying to pay it off. I don't think you can lock them in without doing something tricky and then I'd have to pay PMI. thankfully it's tax deductible. but it's still got gigantor interest rates. I kissed my bonus goodbye to the heloc slush fund at citi. rat-fink bastids.

you own a house or condo or something :P?
