32 middle-income units up for grabs at new Sheepshead Bay rental, from $1,450/month

Several years ago, 6sqft referred to Sheepsheads Bay as “the once-sleepy waterfront community that’s almost as far out as Coney Island.” Since then, a slew of new projects has started to rise in the neighborhood, including the tallest residential building in South Brooklyn and a luxury condo with prices up to $1.7 million. Adding to the buzz is a new affordable housing lottery at 2442 Ocean Avenue, a seven-story, 105-unit rental building that, thanks to its U-shaped design, offers an interior courtyard and many outdoor terraces. The 35 middle-income apartments up for grabs are available to those earning 130 percent of the area median income and range from $1,450/month studios to $2,499/month two-bedrooms.

In addition to the outdoor space, the building offers a doorman, gym, dry and wet spa, pool, yoga room, children’s playroom, and laundry room (though additional fees may apply for these amenities). It’s a quick walk to the Avenue U station of the Q train.

Qualifying New Yorkers can apply for the affordable apartments at 2442 Ocean Avenue until August 6, 2019. Complete details on how to apply are available here (pdf). Questions regarding this offer must be referred to NYC’s Housing Connect department by dialing 311.
