An East Village apartment that makes you "think Williamsburg"



The description for this nice one-bedroom home on East 10th Street between Avenue C and Avenue D, which hit the market at the end of the summer, is “Think Williamsburg, but live Manhattan." Which makes no sense to me.

And nothing in the listing screams Williamsburg either:

Southern Exposure / Faces Courtyard = Quiet serenity awaits.

Amazing East Village location = Great night life and steps to Tompkins Square Park

Huge, Open layout + Chef's Kitchen = Entertain guests, while you cook!

2 FULL baths = 1 for you and 1 for your guests

Walk-in Master Closet = SAVE $, no need for mini storage.

2 Bus lines across the street = no need to fight your way onto the L train

And best of all.....Maintenance you can afford. At only $625/mo this home is an exceptional opportunity for those of you keeping within a tight budget, but not wanting to sacrifice.




So where's the Williamsburg part? A mention of the L train? I expected some circa-2004 stereotypes. Skinny jeans! Facial hair! Wacky bikes! Arcade Fire!

Anyway, I'm probably missing something. See for yourself during the open house Sunday morning from 10-11. Bring your $560,000.

    Wow, this would be a perfect apt for me. :-(

    !@#$ the stupid Williamsburg marketing... hipsters are gonna take one look at Jacob Riis and run back to Disneyland.

    Shame it's just a tad outta my range, glad to see the prices coming down a bit from when 1B were $800+ in the early 00's.

    So close, yet so far... :-(

    I'm still trying to wrap my mind around 2 full baths. I didn't know that existed.
