In Bushwick, Brooklyn, apartments located near subway tracks are becoming increasingly popular, with some units renting for as much as $4,000 per month. Tenants like Arpit Ahluwalia have adapted to the noise, describing train sounds as "white noise" and expressing a sense of comfort despite the closeness to the tracks. Remarkably, a viral video of one apartment showcased how some renters are willing to overlook noise for convenience to transit. However, opinions differ, with some feeling uneasy about the proximity to trains, demonstrating a divide in tenant experience and preferences.
"I never open my windows," said Arpit Ahluwalia, 26, who lives on the fourth floor of the apartment in Bushwick and can see directly into subway cars from his bedroom.
A Brooklyn realtor shared a video of a $4,000 a month third-floor walkup directly opposite the tracks on social media in December and it has since gone viral with over 7 million views.
