Lottery opens for 29 units at Williamsburg waterfront rental, from $1,101/month

A housing lottery launched on Thursday for 29 income-restricted apartments in Williamsburg. The Kent House, located at 187 Kent Avenue, sits a block in from the waterfront and between two popular green spaces, Bushwick Inlet Park and Domino Park. New Yorkers earning 80 and 130 percent of the area median income can apply for the apartments, priced between $1,101/month studios and $2,710/month two-bedrooms.

Designed by Input Creative Studio, the luxury building contains 96 units and rises seven stories. The spacious apartments boast hardwood floors, in-unit washer/dryers, and kitchens with stainless steel appliances. Some units have private terraces with water views.

In addition to its prime Brooklyn location, the perks of the building include a landscaped roof deck with panoramic views, a fitness center, a media room, a co-working lounge, bike storage, and parking. Transit options include the L train at Bedford Avenue, the NYC Ferry, and the B32, B39, B62, B67, and Q59 buses.

Qualifying New Yorkers can apply for the affordable units at 187 Kent Avenue until July 28, 2020. Complete details on how to apply are available here (pdf). Preference for 50 percent of the units will be given to residents of Brooklyn Community Board 1. Questions regarding this offer must be referred to NYC’s Housing Connect department by dialing 311.
