What to check before choosing a pre-war building near the R train in Brooklyn
- Expect older Brooklyn buildings (built before 1947) with layouts and maintenance schedules that can differ widely from newer stock—use notes and reviews to spot patterns.
- Confirm details that often vary in pre-war buildings: appliance age, heating setup, window condition, and any ongoing renovations.
- Even when the location is “near the R train,” check the exact walking time and route during your typical hours (night vs daytime commute).
- Use the building’s current apartment availability on Openigloo to avoid touring empty floors; availability can change week to week.
- Before signing, verify lease terms and move-in costs (security deposit, any broker fee, and any required fees noted per building or unit).
