Weird week, friends. Started on the Upper East for some gutted-mansion hopping because East Harlem wasn’t giving me great results. From there, I ventured to Sunset Park, which was disappointing because I saw only two apartments I liked. After that, I did some Brooklyn Heights and Cobble Hill browsing — avoiding Downtown Brooklyn, a.k.a. Consensus Clunkism, with all my might. Stick around for a little slice of new-to-me Bed-Stuy history.

$2,700, studio: An apartment for ants. Let me amend: a cheap apartment for ants. |

$3,850, studio: Top-floor alcove, yes please? An apartment for ants with trust funds and a proclivity for views.
$5,000, 1-bedroom: Handsome renovation with highlights that include a Verona red-marble bathroom and a gorgeous cedar sauna on premises. |

$5,500, 1-bedroom: I just thought the building itself was sexy!
$8,100, 2-bedroom: The stone balcony is what I’m signing up for here. Can’t tell if the blinding fluorescence is because of recessed downlights or because of the bad image quality … but you should go find out for me.
$8,700, 1-bedroom: Ever wanted to live in a defunct doctor’s office on the Upper East Side?? Now’s your chance.
$8,900, 1-bedroom: It’s feeling very Donna Tartt, very Goldfinch-coded in here.
$11,000, 3-bedroom: Two walk-in closets, which I guess explains the high price point?
$14,500, 3-bedroom: The most fabulously ugly dungeon/mansion I’ve seen in a long time. It was listed for sale this summer but appears to have just sat. The skybridge connecting the bedroom to the rest of the house?? It’s giving Epstein’s lair …

$2,800, 2-bedroom: Image 9. The pairing of the bottle of red and the Old Spice deodorant is evocative and quite frankly romantic. Otherwise, cheap with potential.
$4,500, 3-bedroom: Honestly really nicely renovated parlor-floor apartment that won’t last.

$3,195, 1-bedroom: I just love how New York this place feels. In less than 1,000 square feet we have a ballet studio, an outdoor living room, a photo gallery … who needs space when you’re living life to the fullest?
$4,200, 1-bedroom: Big, weird mansion with bad lighting and linoleum floors. But I’m a sucker for exposed beams, and maybe you are too … |

$3,000, 1-bedroom: The theme this week is dance studio, I guess!
$3,900, studio: I find the idiosyncratic floor plan appealing here! The giant picture window and bookshelf is a nice side by side, too. |
