If you make it through the rigorous screening process then it's set. A one bedroom is $895. Not sure about the others. I'm one of the 'chosen few' and have been getting the run around since late April. First I was told that I qualified, no problem. In June I was told I didn't make quite enough money. In August I was told I made too much money in 2015. And I'm still waiting for a final determination letter. The Fifth Ave Committee staff in charge member has changed 3 times, from April until now. Something is up.<br />But I'm keeping it on the down-low just in case there's a slight possibility that I get to have a doorman, a gym, and an elevator.<br />Hell, I'm not getting any younger as I wait for the results....so I'll need the elevator by the time I get inside one of the apartments.<br />And yes, only 5 people from the affordable lottery have moved in.

Affordable units are being rented just as fast. The rent paid is a % of the occupant's income so it's different for each tenant.<br /><br />Most rentals are moving to streeteasy and craig's list - realtor fees may soon become extinct. <br /><br />For those in question about if the Gowanus neighborhood is one of Brooklyn's best, please be sure to visit and hope you're convinced:<br />http://artsgowanus.org/<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-49916802917423238392016-09-27T08:01:48.913-04:002016-09-27T08:01:48.913-04:00I guess the 365 Bond people don't want the lot...I guess the 365 Bond people don't want the lottery winners in in case they have farm animals and hang their laundry out the windows.

It includes roof access but I couldn't believe it. The apartments were originally two bedrooms but they chopped each bedroom in half and added another bathroom all in 1,000 sq. feet of space.Patricia Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17376699886118062686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-52313218266303487882016-09-26T12:00:31.253-04:002016-09-26T12:00:31.253-04:00I wonder what the justification could possibly be ...I wonder what the justification could possibly be for not letting the lottery winners to move into the building at this point in time.

It seems only right that FAC should put out update reports on this "community benefit" that came at the cost of granting the residential zoning and adding a height bonus for that "community benefit". We need to understand just how the community has benefitted from this new monster in our midst. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-35769811978796290662016-09-24T18:23:23.405-04:002016-09-24T18:23:23.405-04:00I seem to remember they were around $850 for a stu...I seem to remember they were around $850 for a studio and about $900 plus for the one bedroom.Katiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06484246196723019291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-4868191605457043692016-09-24T13:50:19.894-04:002016-09-24T13:50:19.894-04:00Katia, do you recall what the affordable rents wer...Katia, do you recall what the affordable rents were.

I will admit I like the loft look of 365 Bond and thankfully, the NIMBY that I am, it's the only building I see from my roof. And it would be cool as a stand alone building. I'm always shocked when I drive down Bond through that canyon of sprawl. Like, hello? Where did the sun go? Like driving down Kent in Williamsburg. Hahah. A competition for Luxury buildings? If I could afford the rents there I wouldn't live there. Also are there really deck chairs and blowing sea grass on that roof? The landscaping , such as it is, is pathetic curb appeal and really needs work. This whole thing just kills me. Also I find it odd that someone who can pay that much rent would enter a lottery when they could probably live anyplace else.

Also, the amenities are extra and not included in your rent but they were offering the first year free. After that I think it was an extra 50 bucks to use the game room and other things they had.<br /><br />These may be apartments that weren't available earlier because they ere still under construction. I know the canal side of the building units are still under construction.<br /><br />Lastly there does seem to be a lot of competition in the luxury market in Brooklyn right now so that's probably another reason they're blanketing Craigs List. There's a lot of stuff in Downtown Brooklyn and if you want an apartment without a broker free Craig's List is probably one place you'll look.Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-86290463487714512142016-09-23T12:38:49.603-04:002016-09-23T12:38:49.603-04:00Those listings on Craigslist are offered by other ...Those listings on Craigslist are offered by other brokers trying to drum up business.
