Brooklyn's sidestreets, blooming with greenery and teeming with character have long served as a middle-ground for those who enjoy the convenience of cities while secretly desiring more tranquility, space, and charm. Sadly, these places in the United States are in short supply and the desirability of such walkable/transit-oriented neighborhoods has caused their property values to skyrocket bringing the unwanted effects of displacement and unaffordability.
Over in Bushwick
on a typical Brooklyn block of townhouses and multi-families is 1043 Halsey Street, a new condominium building that has begun sales on its 5 one- to three-bedroom apartments priced from $585K. Ideal for either a New Yorker looking to put down roots or even an investor (gasp), the building is situated two blocks from the Halsey Street elevated J train station and all the convenient brick-and-mortar shops along Broadway.

Halstead's Milano Rambarran Team is spearheading sales at Ten43 Halsey. They explain the ground-up construction has a more refined aesthetic when compared to nearby competitors and is more in line with pricier new developments going up in other parts of the borough. "As a full-service team, we worked collaboratively with the developer to determine what buyers are looking for, explains Candice Milano. The homes convey a "sophisticated approach" and embody a "rustic, industrial-chic aesthetic" that has grown in popularity throughout Brooklyn over the years.
Nearly all apartments come with a considerable amount of private outdoor space that ranges from a balcony to a large backyard accompanying the ground-level unit. All residents can enjoy the building's common roof deck and allocated private storage in the cellar.
Living rooms have floor-to-ceiling exposures while bedrooms feature picture windows to ensure privacy. Floors are polished white oak and there are subtle industrial accents throughout. The open-concept kitchen is sleek and efficiently-designed. They feature a breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, white cabinetry, and granite countertops. Baths are personalized with warm textures, ceramic tile floors, chrome fixtures, and custom-designed vanities.

Malessa Rambarran explains that they are launching sales despite the pause caused by COVID-19 because now with everyone at home, people have more time to evaluate their needs and reconsider how they want to live. "People are still looking, and in this unprecedented time they are thinking about new desires such as wanting more light, larger quarters, or how close do I want to be with family members.," says Ms. Rambarran.
The first unit to come online is a one-bed/one-bath with asking $585,000. All buyers will enjoy low monthlies with the aforementioned unit having a monthly common charge of $338.98. Furthermore, Ten43's offering comes at a time when interest rates are very low. To keep prospective buyers safe, Zoom appointments are available upon request.
