Apartment hunting is hell

Posted on September 3, 2009 by

Second Life slumming

For the past month, I've been looking for a new apartment in Brooklyn as the end of my lease fast approaches.  I think I have fairly realistic expectations:

  • A medium to large one bedroom apartment
  • In a safe, accessible neighborhood in central Brooklyn (Fort Greene, Park Slope, Cobble Hill, Prospect Heights, etc.)
  • Basic services like grocery, laundry and public transportation nearby
  • Ideally bike-able to Manhattan
  • A full kitchen with full-sized fridge, range, oven, and pantry
  • Up to $1,500 a month

That said, so far I've found lots of great apartments in not-so-great locations and crappy apartments in great locations.  As my October 1 deadline approaches, something has to give.  But I'm convinced that the perfect balance of location, amenities and price exists.
