A good place to live in BK heights below market
Pros
The landlord is fairly out of touch, so the rent is relatively low, there’s access to the rooftop, and just not too much interaction that you to have with them. A decent apartment for the price and with an in-unit laundry.
Cons
Walk-up, no central AC and gets pretty hot inside, we’ve had a mouse (singular 😮💨) problem, the landlord takes forever to reply to maintenance requests.
Central Harlem Charm
Pros
Centrally located in Harlem. Easy walk to A/C/B/D subway lines at 145th and 2/3 train at 135th. Grocery story less than a block away. Washer/Dryer in unit. Spacious bathroom.
Cons
Infested with mice. After a month of being there and killing about 25, we were able to find that the hole in the wall under the bathroom sink for the plumbing was where they were entering. We filled it with steel wire and blocked any future entries. Views from bedrooms are of the garbage area outside. Very noisy whenever anyone walks by outside. Lots of fights outside on the street AND in the alley way behind. Neighbors steal packages.
