Ditmas Park Rental Roundup

Looking for an apartment to rent in Ditmas Park? We’ve rounded up a few spaces available in the neighborhood to help you on your hunt. If you live in one of the apartment buildings, let prospective neighbors know how you like it.

Upgraded Pre-War 1 Bedroom by the Park
Available: Immediately
Price: $1,350, plus broker’s fee
Details: At the intersection of Crooke and Caton, this 1/1 features classic parquet floors with modern touches in the kitchen, and is close to both the B/Q at Church and the south end of Prospect Park. It may not have all the bells and whistles of the 34 Crooke pad below, but it looks perfectly comfortable and clean, and that $1,000 a month you’re saving is more than enough to cover any gym memberships and reserved parking you might need.

Super-Cheap, Sunny 3-Bedroom
Available: Immediately
Price: $2,000, plus broker’s fee
Details: This unit near Beverley and Flatbush is exceptionally-inexpensive for a 3-bed at about $667/tenant, and the windows (in the one picture supplied) seem to let in an awful lot of light–but it’s been on the market for 48 days. Whether that means it’s haunted/situated over a sewage leak or whether that’s a good bartering tool to get the price down even lower, though, has yet to be seen.

Reduced 1-Bedroom with Amenities
Available: Immediately
Price: $2,350, plus broker’s fee
Details: We’ve seen units for sale in this building before, which has indoor parking, a fitness center, and in-building laundry–and is $1,000 more per month than the other 1-bed on Crooke listed this week. Apartment 4C comes with a private 500 sq ft deck and “tasteful furnishings” if you want them–and has been reduced from the $2,500/month originally being asked. So, are the amenities worth the (even reduced) price tag?

3-Bedroom Duplex on Ocean Parkway
Available: Immediately
Price: $3,500, plus broker’s fee
Details: This duplex features a skylight, dishwasher, 2 bathrooms, and a “knowledgeable live-in super.” Sunny, pet-friendly, and close to the bike path on Ocean Parkway, the only questions are noise level and whether that cool-looking spiral staircase is actually a death trap.
