Часто задаваемые вопросы

  • How many apartments for rent are available in Bushwick right now?

    Bushwick's rental stock is unusually fragmented: more than half of its apartments are in buildings with fewer than six units, which means most listings come from small owners of one walk-up rather than from management companies. That single structural fact also explains why only about 26 percent of households here live in rent-stabilized apartments, far below what people expect of a pre-war Brooklyn neighborhood. Roomster currently lists 102 apartments across Bushwick. Expect to deal with an individual owner or a small local agency far more often than a leasing office.

  • How much does it cost to rent an apartment in Bushwick?

    The indices vary more than usual, so read any single number carefully: studios are quoted from $2,800 to $3,985, one-bedrooms around $3,200 to $3,301, two-bedrooms between $3,425 and $3,960, and three-bedrooms from $3,800 to $4,499. Notice how flat that curve is at the top, since a three-bedroom costs barely more than a two-bedroom while housing an extra person, which is why sharing groups drive this market. You can find one-bedrooms under $3,000 a month around Knickerbocker Avenue, near Myrtle-Wyckoff and on the blocks running into Ridgewood, while the converted lofts off Jefferson Street and Morgan Avenue set the ceiling.

  • Are Bushwick apartments for rent rent-stabilized?

    Most are not, and the reason is the building size rather than the building age. Stabilization generally reaches apartments in buildings of six or more units built before 1974, and because over half of Bushwick's housing sits in smaller buildings, only around 26 percent of households here hold a stabilized apartment. There is one local route back into stabilization worth knowing: a former factory floor that goes through the Loft Board legalization process as an interim multiple dwelling typically becomes rent stabilized once the conversion is complete, with increases governed by the Board's formula in the meantime. If an owner tells you an apartment is stabilized, ask which of those two paths it arrived by.

  • Is it getting harder to find a cheap apartment for rent in Bushwick?

    Measurably, yes, and the figures are stark. The share of Bushwick rental units affordable to a household at 80 percent of area median income has fallen to about 40.9 percent, 24 percentage points lower than in 2010. Meanwhile 28.1 percent of renter households spend more than half their income on rent. What that means for a search is that the cheap end of the market now clears in days rather than weeks, and the apartments that stay listed are usually the ones asking above the neighborhood band. Set alerts rather than browsing weekly, be ready to view within 48 hours, and consider taking a larger apartment with more people over holding out for a small one at a low rent.

  • Are there apartments for rent near Bushwick's transit and commute routes?

    The neighborhood is defined by two services and it is worth choosing deliberately between them. The L runs through Jefferson Street, DeKalb Avenue, Morgan Avenue and Myrtle-Wyckoff and is the fast option, reaching 14th Street quickly and connecting there to most of the system. The M and J cross the southern half at Myrtle-Wyckoff, Knickerbocker Avenue and Central Avenue and run toward Lower Manhattan and Midtown on a different path. Renting where the two overlap around Myrtle-Wyckoff costs a little more and buys redundancy, which matters because the L takes periodic weekend closures between the boroughs. If your office is near 14th Street, pay for the L; if it is downtown, the M may serve you better for less.

  • How does Bushwick compare with Williamsburg and Ridgewood on rent?

    Bushwick sits in the middle of the three, and all three are on the same L line, which is what makes the comparison so direct. A one-bedroom averages roughly $4,650 in Williamsburg, about $3,200 to $3,301 in Bushwick, and near $2,990 in Ridgewood across the Queens border. Two-bedrooms run around $5,500 in Williamsburg against $3,425 to $3,960 in Bushwick and about $3,499 in Ridgewood. That gap of roughly $1,400 a month between Williamsburg and Bushwick for a one-bedroom is the engine behind the eastward drift of the last fifteen years. If Bushwick is still beyond your budget, Ridgewood is the logical next stop rather than a compromise, since the commute barely changes.
