Explore Top Listings: Introducing Our New Real Estate Section!
Fresh Finds: This Week's Top Property Picks around the neighborhood (Park Slope, Prospect Heights, Windsor Terrace, Gowanus)
Seven years ago when my wife and I looked at our first potential Park Slope rental 5th Ave - it seemed like the perfect apartment in the listing. Sadly the apartment didn’t meet our needs. We had a wonderful evening walking along 5th Ave and enjoyed an evening at Blueprint, where we decided that Park Slope would be our future home - and so we were even more determined in our search to live here.
Since then, I’ve searched over a thousand listings to find our dream first apartment rental - to eventually finding & owning our first apartment in the Slope a few years ago during a super competitive market for buyers (this was during the pandemic when people would bid 10-20% over, and 20+ bids were common for a listing - we spent about one and a half years searching).
I am now putting my search skills to use to help you find the best properties in Park Slope and surrounding neighborhoods along with any notes of my own that may assist! I encourage you to add your commentary too and hopefully this will be a useful resource to anyone searching for a place to buy or rent.
I use StreetEasy as the listing source to recommend properties that I would live in myself, and have searched within the boundaries of Park Slope and surrounding neighborhoods (Gowanus, Windsor Terrace, Prospect Heights). All prices are per month, and only listings in the last 7 days are shown. All sales jargon has been magically removed ✨
For this first set of listings focused on rental properties of 1-2 bedrooms, I’ve spent about 3 hours curating this list. I have also opened up this first set of listings for free - if you found this useful, please consider supporting my work with a paid subscription (the price of an iced coffee per month). If I see enough interest I will continue to curate them on a weekly basis, and subsequent posts will be partially paywalled. Please share any feedback that would make this more useful to you: info@parkslopeliving.com
Thanks and I’m looking forward to making this Real Estate section a helpful resource for everyone - whether you’re planning your open house weekend, or just want to keep a pulse on (or take a peek at) what the real estate market looks like. :)
