South Slope Rental Roundup

In the market for a new rental? We’ve found some gems currently available around the neighborhood, with everything from original tin ceilings and backyards, to an entire carriage house that comes with its own private garage. Check out the details below:

7th Avenue, between 12th and 13th Streets
Price: $2,000
Size: 1-bed, 1-bath
Available: January 1-February 1
Details: First up is a one-bedroom with fantastic exposed brick walls in the living area. The unit has hardwoods throughout, nice closet space in the bedroom, and a terrace — which, from the floorplan, looks like it might be shared with another unit. Cats are allowed, but no pups. Tenant pays for heat and hot water, which is uncommon in the area, and there is a 1.5 month security deposit to secure the apartment.

17th Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues
Price: $2,150
Size: 1-bed, 1-bath
Available: Now
Details: Live on 17th Street and “join the buzz,” as the listing suggests, hyping Eagle Provisions, which, sadly, might not even be there much longer. The apartment includes lots of built-in storage, a nice-sized (but very retro looking — how old are those appliances?) kitchen, hardwoods throughout, and a huge shared backyard, which will be great come barbecuing season.

14th Street and 7th Avenue
Price: $2,450
Size: 2-bed, 1-bath
Available: Now
Details: Need a bit more space? This 700-square-foot unit has two bedrooms, tons of light, hardwood floors throughout, dormer windows, original tin ceilings, and two decorative mantles. Looks like there’s some pretty good storage, too. Pets are allowed on a case-by-case basis.

396 15th Street, between 7th and 8th Avenues
Price: $9,000
Size: 3-bed, 3.5-bath
Available: December 1
Details: Dreaming big? Why not rent an entire carriage house? Located across from the Armory YMCA is a 2,000-square-foot home that, according to the listing, fulfills “every urban dream.” We’re talking huge farm-inspired kitchen with 7-foot island, custom cabinetry, and Viking appliances. There’s an open living area with gas fireplace (shown above), bathrooms for everyone and their mother, oversize pained windows, a back garden, laundry room, central heat and air, a security system, walk-in closets, storage space, and a private garage. Dogs are allowed, but if you have cats, this isn’t the pricey carriage house rental for you.
