Carroll Gardens, long seen as a haven for relatively affordable rental options, is undergoing a significant transformation with many townhouses being converted into single-family homes and condos. The increase in property prices, alongside the constant search for affordable rental housing, has left many families in challenging situations. Erin Boyle's experience illustrates this struggle as she faces displacement from her two-bedroom apartment amidst a wave of buyers unbothered by the efforts she has made to enhance her living space. The local real estate market is becoming increasingly competitive, pushing families out of their beloved neighborhoods.
"Just on our street alone, two houses became single-families, another was converted to condos... the landlord told us he was selling and that we had to leave by July 31."
"Finding a place that can accommodate a family of five has been daunting... it's hard to compete with finance-bro buyers who care less about our home improvements."
