What to look for in a one-bedroom apartment in Park Slope
One-Bedroom Apartments come with specific considerations that vary by building and neighborhood. In Park Slope specifically, these are the factors that matter most:
- •True 1BR vs. junior 1BR (junior 1BRs are studios with a door, not true bedrooms)
- •Bedroom window: NYC law requires at least one window in every legal bedroom
- •Living room dimensions (some NYC 1BRs have tiny living rooms relative to bedroom)
- •Closet count and configuration
- •Storage beyond closets (under-bed, pantry, outdoor storage)
