Like so much else about South Williamsburg, its real-estate market recalls North Williamsburg in the early aughts: intermittently gritty, still a bit sleepy, and possibly ripe for an explosion. Prices remain (relatively) forgiving: Buyers pay $75 to $125 less per square foot here than for comparable properties on the north side; for renters, that translates to a 10 to 12 percent difference, with the rule being the closer to Division Avenue, the cheaper the rent. Here, six housing options currently on the market for would-be transplants.
For Rent:
237 South 1st Street, No. 1A
Few studio apartments come with a separate, private storage space”this one does. The postwar building is pet-friendly, too.

This 565-square-foot one-bedroom is located in a brand-new, pet-friendly condo building. It has its own terrace, but you might never use it after glimpsing the building’s sweeping rooftop deck.

The Williamsburg Bridge takes center stage through the humongous kitchen windows at this 780-square-foot one-bedroom. Another serious perk: a deeded indoor parking spot.
