"Melody Kim had been wanting to move to New York City for over 10 years before finally making the move while on a trip in May of 2024. "I extended my trip for about a week and buckled down to begin my hunt via StreetEasy," begins Melody, who found this 350-square-foot unit in a building built in 1877 in Brooklyn's Park Slope neighborhood for rent."
""I fell in love with the neighborhood immediately as I walked down the brownstone and tree-lined street. There were even these adorable gas lamps still operating all along the block," she writes. "The front doors, entryway, stairwell all had its prewar character, and I remember just being in awe walking up to the unit itself. Often the emphasis is what's inside the home, but I do think the environment entering and leaving your place can really impact your day-to-day.""
Melody Kim moved to New York City in May 2024 after wanting to relocate for over a decade and extended a trip to hunt for apartments. She found a 350-square-foot rental in a building built in 1877 in Park Slope. The neighborhood features brownstones, tree-lined streets, and operating gas lamps. The building retains prewar character in its front doors, entryway, and stairwell. The unit benefits from high ceilings, massive windows, a fireplace, and a large updated kitchen and bathroom. Melody is a designer, writer, and content creator who runs a small design studio and enjoys the location.
