↑ In Gowanus, $1,800/month gets you this one-bedroom, one-bathroom, located on the third floor of a walk-up building. The 800-square-foot apartment has an open layout with a windowed kitchen that neighbors the living room and a wall of windows. The one thing we can’t fully explain is the ladder in the living room—does it lead to the bedroom? Is it randomly placed? Alas, without a floorplan, we can’t say for sure.
