Condos Charm Renters with Classic Neighborhoods and Better Features
MARCH 26, 2009
Current financial realities have condo developers and owners reaching out to renters to avoid vacancies.
If you're looking to rent, you may be in a pretty good spot in the current market—renting can be a great solution for city newcomers who need a place while they're looking to buy in addition to those who want the flexibility of a lease.
Leading the pack of newsworthy new residences courting renters is The Clermont in Brooklyn's Fort Greene. The old-school neighborhood is a list-topping destination for professionals and families looking for a life among rows of historic brownstones with a solid community vibe. One Hanson Place in the historic Williamsburg Savings Bank is another neighborhood gem offering units for lease—though there are still some condo spots for sale. It's Brooklyn's tallest building, partly located in the historic Clock Tower which offers 360 degree skyline views. The condo-to-lease move isn't only happening in Brooklyn. The Bridges NYC in East Harlem is also leasing units, with spacious two- and three-bedroom apartments ranging from 1,200 to 1,700 square feet beckoning to Manhattan renters who crave more living space on a crowded island.
