This Week’s Rental Roundup
Looking for a new place to call home, or a spot to start your business? We’ve rounded up a bunch of intriguing Bensonhurst area apartment listings, plus one commercial space — take a look at the details, and let us know what you think. Lots of luck in your search!
1813 70th Street, #2
Available: Immediately
Price: $1,399, plus broker’s fee
Size: One bedroom, one bathroom
Details: Most of the photos in this listing are really tiny, so determining whether the advertised “gut renovated” space was done well is difficult. But one for the kitchen, shown above, is promising. It’s in the first floor of a private house, which could mean less noise to worry about. Plus, it’s just a couple blocks from the D or the N, so you’d have a backup when the MTA screws you.

8646 25th Avenue, #1
Available: Flexible for January 2016
Price: $1,500, plus broker’s fee
Size: Two bedrooms, one bathroom
Details: Here’s another one that was recently renovated, but has pictures to show it — and it looks like a perfectly serviceable apartment. The bonus is here that you get some outdoor space. But how much of a bonus that is remains to be seen, because it’s hard to tell just what this walk-in-floor outdoor space looks out onto. Definitive bonus: quick walk to the D train.

2120 Bay Ridge Parkway, #2R
Available: Immediately
Price: $1,700, plus broker’s fee
Size: Two bedrooms, one bathroom
Details: Now here is the fancy-pants stuff that shows off a “gut renovation.” Gleaming stainless steel appliances (including a dishwasher) and a modern tile backsplash in the kitchen, big hulking showerhead in the bathroom, etc. Does that — plus the location, which is a bit more central to the neighborhood than the listing above, but less convenient to a subway station — make it worth $200 more per month? You decide.

Available: January 11, 2016
Price: $10,000
Size: Commercial space
Details: Great location, entire building for lease by owner. Just a few steps from the new Kings Theatre and the almost finished brand new hotel. Surrounded by top retailers in densely populated neighborhood with an average daily count of approximately 23,033 vehicles.
