Most mornings I wake up, walk across the avenue from my Bedford Ave apartment, and grab a mocha or cappuccino at El Beit, pronounced ‘L-Buy-eat’.  The petite locale offers some of the best lattes offered in the Williamsburg area as well as a selection of simple fare such as brie, basil, and pesto on baguette, […]

I recently viewed a 1.5 bedroom railroad Williamsburg apartment rental located on Bedford Avenue that is not only overpriced at $2,500, but also misrepresented as a 2 bedroom.  The northside property needs serious renovation as it’s potential charm is overshadowed by discolored paint, cracked sheet rock, and very old beat up parquet flooring.  The space […]

While reading through the lifeless content of my blog last night I came to the realization that creating a site filled with regurgitated information about Brooklyn real estate was not my objective.  Come to think of it, I had forgotten why I had even created this blog in the first place.  Clearly, no reader is interested in tiresome […]

During this period of hardship and economic uncertainty very few new rental projects have success similar to 320 Bedford.  The new Williamsburg Loft complex, located on the corner of Bedford avenue and South 2nd street, rented out on the Sunday grand opening.  The 14 loft units feature modern bathrooms & kitchens, and boast outdoor space and a […]

A good friend lives close to the new ‘luxury rental’ building located on Union ave. I walk by the building regularly. Recently I walked by and noticed something different about the building but could not quite put my finger on what had changed. I walked closer to 525 Union and then it […]
