Apartments.com: One-bed apartment to rent, Flatbush, Brooklyn

Rent and what it gets you

The listed rent is $3,062 a month for the one available one-bedroom, one-bath unit, which comes in at 712 square feet with outdoor space included in the floor plan and available to move into now. That's a reasonably sized one-bedroom with its own private outdoor space, which is a genuine amenity many city rentals don't offer.

Fees and effective monthly cost

The only disclosed one-time charge is a $20 application fee per applicant, due when applying. Utilities included in the building details cover gas and water, which is a real cost saving since the tenant won't need separate accounts for those. Electricity is not mentioned as included, so that's presumably paid separately. There's no other required fee schedule disclosed (no admin fee, no move-in fee, no amenity fee), so based on what's published, the effective monthly cost close to the base rent plus whatever pet or parking charges apply if relevant.

Pets and parking

Pets are allowed for both dogs and cats, each with a one-time fee of $25 per pet and a monthly pet fee of $25 per pet, capped at three pets. For a tenant with one dog or cat, that adds a modest $25 a month on top of rent, plus a $25 one-time charge. Parking is available in a garage lot, but the rate is not disclosed and needs to be asked about directly, since garage parking at a managed building like this is commonly priced separately from rent and could add a meaningful amount to the monthly cost.

Rent special

A rent special is advertised on the listing but its specific terms weren't captured in the data. Whatever it turns out to be, treat it as a leasing incentive to get in writing rather than a discount already locked in, since specials often carry conditions like a longer lease term or apply only to certain move-in dates.

Building and unit features

The Vitagraph was built in 2019 and has 302 units across 8 stories, so this is a large, professionally managed community with amenities to match: doorman, concierge, elevator, fitness center, roof terrace, courtyard, and package service among others. In-unit features include a washer/dryer, air conditioning, dishwasher, hardwood floors, and stainless steel appliances, all of which point to a modern, well-equipped unit for a building of this age. Only one unit is currently listed as available in this floor plan, so if this specific layout doesn't work out, ask what other floor plans or availability the property has.

Who is listing and what to confirm

This listing comes directly from the property, so enquiries go straight to management rather than through a third-party agent. That generally means clearer accountability for repairs, deposits, and lease terms since it's the same entity operating the building day to day, though the specific lease terms, deposit amount, and the still-unspecified rent special all need confirming before signing.

Local character

The building sits in the Midwood section of Brooklyn, though the listing also tags the neighborhood as Flatbush; these are adjacent areas in south-central Brooklyn known for a mix of residential streets, Orthodox Jewish community presence, and access to the Brooklyn College area. The description references a preserved smokestack from the site's history as an early motion picture studio, which is a nice architectural detail but doesn't tell you anything about the unit itself. Since the description is written about the building generally, it doesn't add much unit-specific insight beyond what the floor plan and amenities list already provide.
