Lottery for 100-name waitlist opens at two rentals near the Brooklyn Museum, from $701/month

New Yorkers earning 80 and 130 percent of the area median income can apply for the apartments, which range from $701/month studios to $3,943/month four-bedrooms. Eligible applicants will be randomly selected and placed on the waitlist for future vacancies.

Completed in 2019, the rental at 816 Washington and contains eight units. Amenities at this building include an elevator and on-site laundry. At 615 Sterling, the six-unit building contains six units and features an elevator lift.

Just blocks apart, both rentals are near tons of restaurants, bars, and cafes. In addition to being located close to the Brooklyn Museum and Botanic Garden, other highlights include Mount Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Public Library’s Central Branch, and Prospect Park. Nearest transit options include the 2,3 at the Eastern Parkway-Brooklyn Museum station and the 2,3,4,5 at Franklin Avenue.
