Fairway Rentals Actually Renting
As Curbed reported on Friday, the lofts above the Fairway store in Red Hook are officially on the market.

As Curbed reported on Friday, the lofts above the Fairway store in Red Hook are officially on the market. (Word is that insiders and tenants on other buildings owned by O’Connell got a jump start on the public.) There was an open house the weekend before last and old-school neighborhood realtor Manzione has the listings, which reportedly start at $2,200. A Craiglist ad touted a one bedroom with home office for $3,150. Curbed readers couldn’t agree on whether this was a good deal or not, but with the smallest apartment clocking in at 1,545 square feet, we’d see it sounds pretty reasonable to us, though maybe not the most convenient location for regular commuters to Manhattan.
Fairway: Red Hook, Not on the Cheap [Curbed]
it probably would be really cool to live and work there, with the spectacular views of manhattan.
heck, someone should make a movie, and use the window views outside in one of the scenes.
Are the vermin included in the rent, or is that extra?
They view of the harbor would be amazing, and it would be a lovely thing if the water taxi really does start weekday service. I have to add that we took a dusk walk along the pier recently and disturbed the feeding rats who loudly let us know they weren’t happy about it. Living along the waterfront along with the supermarket creates a serious rodent problem.
45 spots are reserved for the residential tenants. It’s the fenced in area of the parking lot on western side of the building. I think it’s the most interesting legal, living arrangement to happen in Brooklyn since One Main Street.
Agreeing with anon@1:14, I posted on curbed. Parking is really tough there now with the Fairway open. I think there’s a lot across the street (not on Van Brunt, on the other side of the lot) but the salt might get to the car, and I can imagine that during a snowstorm (as rare as they are) these spots would get hit pretty bad.
Still, pretty nice for those who work from home.
people seem to forget: these are LIVE/WORK that means small dotcoms, media people, architects and so on. Not everyone has to grind to new york 5 days a week.
It would be great to live above fairway with the ocean aspect, but I wonder if you’d get tired of the fuss on ground level each and every afternoon and evening. Then there must be a fair few trucks and clanking from unloading produce and loading garbage. It could start at 6am each day and not quit till past 10pm.
The parking is another questionmark. Parking is .. where exactly? outdoors so your car gets covered in fine windblown salty water each day?
I was the first poster and I am in no way involved in the real estate market. I just really think that these apts. have a lot of appeal. Sometimes I fantasize about living in one when I am shopping at Fairway. I actually I fantasize about buying two and knocking them into one huge apartment for my huge family. I also fantasize about never having to actually cook for my large family ever again!
The bus would stink. Maybe if these places fill up they would run at rush hours?

This Red Hooker is thrilled to death! Unlike most Brooklyn nabes, we need more people. The water taxi will start daily communtes once people move into the building.
