Robin Long+FollowNew affordable apartments in Crown HeightsAffordable apartments are up for grabs in Crown Heights, with a new housing lottery at 948 Bergen Street. Rents start at $2,750 for one-bedrooms, but here’s the catch: only households earning between $103,680 and $261,170 can apply. These units come with modern perks—think in-unit laundry, smart climate controls, and private outdoor space. It’s a big deal for folks looking for a fresh spot in Brooklyn, but the income requirements have sparked some debate. Do these prices and limits really serve the community’s needs, or are they out of reach for most locals? #News #CrownHeights #BrooklynHousing00Share
Jennifer Rojas+FollowNew Bed-Stuy lottery: $5.5K “affordable” unitsA new housing lottery just opened at 211 Nostrand Avenue in Bed-Stuy, but here’s the twist: the so-called “affordable” four-bedroom apartments start at $5,525 a month, with income requirements topping out at nearly $295K. The building offers modern finishes, big windows, and stainless-steel kitchens, but tenants cover all utilities. For many locals, these prices might feel out of reach—so what does “affordable” really mean in today’s Brooklyn? Would you or anyone you know qualify, or does this just highlight how tough it’s become to find truly accessible housing in the neighborhood? #News #BedStuy #BrooklynHousing10Share
