Each roommate pays a different price based on the size of his room. That’s one way to do it that seems fair.

Perhaps when you finish up with your personal reno projects you could start on Fulton. ;) You're right about nighttime though--it really calms down at night in your area.

That's my neck of the woods. There are some great blocks around here and it's not so noisy at night since these are mostly daytime businesses. It does get dirty though.

In fact, one room looks like it will fit a bed and very little more. That said, I'm not sure a formula such a x number of dollars per bedroom always works. The guys who lived upstairs from me at my old place have a 3 BR/1.5 bath apartment with varying bedroom sizes much like this place. They broke down the apartment into square footage and figured out what each room measured and divided the $ up that way. Each roommate pays a different price based on the size of his room. That's one way to do it that seems fair. I don't know, I just went through apartment hunting myself and I was surprised to find that prices across the board seem to have dropped. Not just in Bed-Stuy, everywhere. The difference between now and a year and a half ago is rather significant. $2100 can you get you much more and in a better area, for sure.

It just gets thrown about way too much. I'm trying to figure out how much should you pay per bedroom. Should it be $600 per bed or $500 per bed? I know that it depends on the location in Bed-Stuy and a host of other things, but can you give me a ballpark figure that you think is reasonable. I know what I would pay, but I'm interested in hearing what other people think is reasonable in our neighborhood. I think we might need to retire the term luxury for awhile.

Looks like your average newish apartment to me. Besides, you could plop the Taj Mahal on Nostrand and it still won't be luxury. Just sayin'. $2100 for rental #2 is crazy. It's new construction shlock in a meh area. I like the backyard in sales #2, though. Alot. Exactly what is “luxury” about rental #3? Looks like your average newish apartment to me.
