I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: When I grow up, I’m moving to Forest Hills. A truly magical pocket of 1930s Tudor-style homes — they just don’t build them like that anymore, and I found some great options. I also made a stop in Astoria, where inventory is flying off the proverbial shelves. Three apartments I liked on Wednesday were gone by Thursdays, so if you’re looking, move fast. I also made the rounds through East Williamsburg, Cobble Hill, and Sunset Park. Stay tuned for a sublet of interest at the bottom!

$3,300, 1-bedroom: Industrial loft that’s feeling like McKibben if McKibben had gotten a graduate degree. |

$5,500, 3-bedroom: Really bright and a little worse for wear, right above Long Island Bar (honestly, worth the price tag if it means the promise of a table whenever you want). Billed as a three-bedroom, but it’s giving two with office. |

$4,000, 3-bedroom: Rowhouse with highlights that include a hamam-style bathroom with sandy and black ceramic tiling, good parquets, and a wall of mirrors for all your … dancing? The tree in the front yard could use a trim.
$4,500, 3-bedroom: Good price-to-bedroom ratio, if you ask me. I’d rip out the wall-to-wall carpeting and keep the chandeliers, but maybe you’re the freak who’d do the opposite? |

$3,250, 1-bedroom: Beautiful prewar that will go fast — so move accordingly. $2.395, 1-bedroom: Ignore the paint job and the bad lighting — this prewar with original moldings has potential. |

$2,550, 2-bedroom: Top floor of a brownstone with floors that haven’t been totally ruined, and a nice, bright bay window at the front. |

$5,600, 3-bedroom: Charming detached-home alert! Love the exterior here. The interior is a little over-renovated and not totally aligned with my taste, but it’s a whole damn house. Okay? |
