Rental Roundup: Apartments For $2,000 Or Less

Mary Bakija -

If location is more important to you than size, if you only want to share an apartment with your pet, if you’re in the market for a Park Slope pad, we’ve rounded up a few places that are currently available to rent.

6th Avenue and Prospect Place
Price: $1,650
Details: Without any photos, we’ll have to trust that this studio has the high ceilings, original crown moldings, and restored hardwood floors it says it does. But for the price, it’s hard to beat the location, where you’ll be able to grab coffee at the new Gorilla or across Flatbush at Hungry Ghost on your way to either the 2/3 or the B/Q trains, meaning a fast commute into Manhattan. It also says both cats and dogs are allowed, so you can bring your furry roommate.

202 5th Avenue #2R
Price: $1,750
Details: If you’d like to be able to roll right into bed after a night of drinking, then this studio could be the space (pictured above) for you, with 200 Fifth and Blueprint basically right downstairs, Bierkraft across the street, Union Hall on the corner, and so on. That it looks like your view is of a brick wall may actually come in handy the morning after.

400 6th Avenue
Price: $1,995
Details: This one-bedroom apartment will offer a bit of peace and quiet on one of the less-commercial avenues in the area, but note that PS 39 is across the street — though the listing says the windows in the bedroom face west, so you might be able to sleep through morning drop-off if you need to.

99 Prospect Park West
Price: $2,000
Details: Wake up in the morning and go for a run or walk the dog in Prospect Park, with an entrance right across the street. And as a bonus, you can toss your workout gear in the in-unit washer/dryer and the dog’s bowl in the dishwasher in this studio.
Contact: Listed by Rutenberg, 917-397-0507, with open houses Saturday, November 9 & Sunday, November 10, 4-5pm
