Trulia Data Lists Fort Greene In Top 10 Most Expensive Neighborhoods For Rentals In Brooklyn

Everyone knows that the rent is too damn high in Brooklyn, but according to data from real estate site Trulia, our borough is in the Top 4 and Top 6 most expensive rental markets in the entire United States for one- and two-bedrooms, respectively, behind places like San Francisco, Manhattan, Boston, Washington D.C., and Los Angeles.

Within Brooklyn, Fort Greene had the 7th highest rental price — with 34,4% of one-bedrooms renting for over $3,000 and the average rent coming in at $2,800.

The finding comes from data compiled in their latest “Where The Rent Is Too Damn High” report, which covers rental listings on Trulia from January 1, 2015 to October 20, 2015.

Apparently, many of our newest neighbors in Vinegar Hill are paying an average of $3,738 for a one-bedroom and those in Downtown Brooklyn/DUMBO aren’t far behind with a median rate of $3,100 for a one-bedroom apartment.

However, renters willing to move to Crown Heights or further south would, of course, find rents far below this $3,000/month mark.
