Brooklyn living comes at a cost, but a new Greenpoint affordable housing lottery combines luxury and comfort at an accessible rate. (Oh, and did we mention the apartments are stationed along the East River waterfront?)
If you’re keen on a trendy neighborhood with Polish roots, delicious eateries, thrift shops, and one of our favorite NYC bookstores, you might want to consider having a look at the listings at 18 India Street in Greenpoint. Though the area does boast quaint brownstones, this large-scale unit errs on the side of modern with a bespoke design, floor-to-ceiling windows, and Caesarstone countertops — and it’s certainly a welcome addition to the skyline views.
Next to the NYC Ferry and two blocks from the Greenpoint Avenue G-train station, 18 India Street has a lot of enticing features that just might convince you to pack your bags. Here’s what you need to know.
Greenpoint affordable housing lottery: see 18 India Street
A modern and sustainable unit, 18 India Street offers studios from $1,537, one bedrooms from $1,639, and two-bedrooms from $1,953. The building is open to household sizes from one to five and eligible incomes range from $55,612 to $218,010.
There’s a lot to love about each unit, including energy-efficient appliances, in-unit washer/dryers (THE DREAM!), and private outdoor spaces. The building community will also be able to take advantage of conference areas, a two-story gym, rooftop pool, and rooftop entertainment spaces. Need we say more? OK, we will: you’re also right next to some of the best waterfront parks in the entire city.
Make sure to apply on Housing Connect before the listing comes to a close on March 28th. If you’re thinking about another location, a popular listing in Gowanus closes on February 3rd.
