Condo or Brownstone?

April 29th, 2008 · No Comments

$750,000 is half the average price for an apartment/condo in Manhattan, and the asking price for this 1bed in North 8th Condos located on Kent ave in Williamsburg.

April 24th, 2008 · No Comments

Here is a glimpse out of the window from my good friend’s 1.5 bed on Bedford Ave between North 8th and North 9th st in the Burg. As you can see, many of the backyards behind Bedford Avenue’s antique housing are well maintained by residents. Ideally when looking for a rental within 8 blocks […]

As I have worked with Mynt Condos since it opened up last October I must say that the neighborhood is not as […]

Red Square

April 16th, 2008 · No Comments

Everyone knows location is King in NYC and the Boroughs. Red Square, located between N 9th and N 10th street on Driggs ave, is one of Williamsburg’s best locations. On my first visit to the restored building I was not impressed by the exterior. I had heard some hype about the condo […]

The Point

April 15th, 2008 · No Comments

Apartments at The Point are some of the best priced luxury rentals in Williamsburg. From the top 2 floors the views of Midtown Manhattan can easily be enjoyed from most units.

The overall quality of the premises is apparent as you walk through the lush courtyard positioned between the 2 Luxury Condo High-Rises, developed by Kent Waterfront Associates LLC. The onsite […]
