↑ After a gut renovation, this two-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom home in Crown Heights is going for $3,250/month. The apartment is a duplex and includes a private backyard, along with a windowed kitchen and new lighting throughout. On the downside, there doesn’t seem to be much natural light or much in the way of views.
