I sometimes get calls on advice from different columnists in the NYC area to give them advice on different areas of real estate. I have had my name in a few publications but never "Time Out" Magazine. They called me via "Active Rain". This is article 1:

HUDSON SQUARE | SUNSET PARK | SOUTH BRONX | BAYSIDE
Sunset Park, Brooklyn
This Brooklyn enclave-30 minutes from midtown on the N train-has been reshaped in the
recent past by waves of Latino and Asian immigrants, and is now seeing an influx of students
and young professionals drawn by housing more affordable than in nearby Park Slope.
"In Sunset Park you can find a nice one-bedroom apartment for $750 to $900 a month," says
Luke Constantino, a Realtor with RE/MAX Professionals. "For $1,150 to $1,400 a month you
can find a two-bedroom that could be a whole floor in a two-family home, where you have use
of the backyard, too. That compares with Park Slope, where rentals go for $1,500 to $1,900 a
month for a studio."
Andre Burton, 38, who moved here five years ago, agrees that the housing prices were a big
draw. "Previously I was living on the Upper West Side, but I decided I'd rather eat," he says.
