Recently, I was lucky enough to list 18–23 Palmetto street, unit 4R, a one bedroom apartment in a recently built building in Ridgewood near the Seneca M stop (one stop north from Bushwick on the M train) . 

There are many good apartments, but there’ve only been a few times in my seven year real estate career where I’ve said to myself: this a special apartment.

This recent listing falls into the latter category. 

Why? 

1. Location. Some renters are hesitant to live in Ridgewood because they have to commute to offices in Manhattan. If you’re looking at apartments which are beyond walking distance of the Myrtle-Wyckoff L-stop station (where the M train also stops), then I think relying just on the M could be tough – it could take a while to get into the city.

   But if you’re okay with the commute, I think Ridgewood is a really nice, peaceful place, a quiet gem in a busy city. There are many streets in the neighborhood where it feels like you’re in a suburb (check out the area around the Forest Avenue M stop, two stops north from Myrtle-Wyckoff – it’s really tranquil around here).

   Many of the buildings in Ridgewood are small beige brick buildings which line tree-lined streets. Midtown skyscrapers seem like they exist in another dimension, not the same city.

   18–23 Palmetto is in a prime Ridgewood location, one block from the Seneca avenue M stop (one stop further from Myrtle-Wyckoff). (For complete transparency, the front of 18–23 Palmetto does face the above-ground M subway train, but this specific unit is in the back of the building, so tenants don’t hear the train too much).

2. Another reason why I like this apartment is because it is on the top floor. Sure, you may have to schlep yourself up three flights of stairs to the fourth floor (there’s no elevator), but I think there is something to be said about having no one above you and having nice views from your apartment. There’s sort of a penthouse vibe.

3. The developer did a really nice job. The building is new (finished in 2017), chic but small (only eight apartments) and this unit, for a one bedroom apartment, is spacious. The windows are large. The ceilings are high. There is a large balcony. The apartment feels open and airy – not a regular occurrence in NYC.

Ridgewood if a nice place to live. If you encounter an apartment which has the combination of location, modernness, and serenity – jump on it. Pictures below of the unit.
