Starett City/Spring Creek Towers Rent (apartments, how much, income)

[CityGrl13]

How much is the average rent for a Studio at Spring Creek Towers/Starett City?

[nyctovt]

There are NO studio apartments in Starrett City.

A HUGE 1 bedroom apartment is between 1000-1500 per month.A little more if you want a spot in the parking lot (which you do) and I think there is a small monthly charge for a dishwasher in your apartment.Also any apartment on the 4th floor or higher have fairly nice size balconies.

Wow. They are expensive. I might as well wait for NYCHA.

Starrett City is not a bad place, the buildings are clean and well kept, it is reasonably safe, however, it is far from the city and in order to get to the subway, you first have to take either the bus to the 3 train or the bus to the L train. So it works better if you have a car. It's not impossible without a car, but it can become a hassle.

Yeah the apratment are huge. Just got a rejection letter because I make under the minimum amount. Said i needed $32,300

[Kefir King]

Back when it was built the requirement was for a maximum income...those over that amount need not apply.

The $32,300 implies it is based on the governmental standard of 30% of rent. Working backards, that implies an annual rent of $9690 a year or $807.50/month. Is that ballpark?



ShakenBacon, how HIGH could you have gone and still qualified?

[ShakenBacon3]

I dont know hwo high, but the miniumum for a 1BR was 32,000

it didnt say. I just got a rejection letter. Guessing around $900

[CityGrl13]

Yes. That is correct. It's about $900. They wanted to charge me $960 for a one bedroom. You can find a one bedroom cheaper than that if you shop around. And I don't mean in NYCHA.
