Brooklyn apartments near subway platform rent for $4,000 a month

A new apartment building in Brooklyn, located just feet from the Myrtle Avenue subway platform, is renting units for $4,000 a month. The trains pass so close that tenants can see directly into the subway cars from their windows. Despite the proximity to the tracks, some tenants have adapted to the noise, describing it as "white noise." A viral video of one apartment led to quick rentals, with some tenants signing leases on the spot. The building, completed in late 2023, was previously a vacant lot. Reactions to the close train access vary, with some finding it appealing and others expressing discomfort with the noise.
