Rental of the Day: 198 Monitor Street, #1B

This one-bedroom, two-bath duplex rental in a Greenpoint condo building seems pretty cute but definitely on the pricey side. But if you simply must live in Brooklyn’s latest trendy neighborhood, you can rest easier knowing that this unit has a bonus “rec room” on the lower level and private garden space to help make the $2,995 a month rent easier to swallow. The lower-floor room is sizable, and there’s a sauna down there too! The listing helpfully points out the sauna could be used for storage. The apartment also has central air and a washer/dryer. The only downside is it’s half a mile to the closest G train stop. What do you think of the look and location for the price?
