Totally amazing to me. I live in Vermont and for that price I get 2700 sq ft as opposed to 190 and I have no neighbors.
Cool article though, the landlords and the musicians are thinking.

No need for me to move there--my neighbor plays guitar, accordian, various household percussion objects and has a loud player piano with hundreds of vintage ragtime rolls. And she loves my clarinetting--think's I sound like Pete Fountain (oviously hearing impaired from too much time with the squeeze box). Life it good in the burbs of Mad City.

Actually, 99 Ocean Avenue in a pretty decent area, about 1/2 mile from where I live. It's right on Prospect Park and a two-minute walk from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

you can also walk to the ice skating rink in the park (they're building a new one too), and great Trinidadian & Jamaican food on Flatbush Avenue.

"When they bought the buildings 10 years ago, Ms. Hertz said, drug dealers were as thick as thieves, and the neighborhood had none of the creature comforts of nearby Park Slope. "

Good thing that it isn't anymore like that.

D.Blumb'g,
Great article!
In my building I have a retired jazz pianist who plays every day. So in comparison, my clarinet playing is significantly less loud.
Also two years ago we got a super from the Dominican Republic. He and his wife have five kids who play in and around the building constantly. I love the sound of kids playing. These kids yell, smash things, and cry from about 9am to 11pm. They scream in Spanish so to me it just registers as sounds not words: CARAJO!
So I use them as my guide for maximum noise possible, since no one in the building has complained about their noise, my music, by comparison, is fairly harmless.
I think musicians are really in trouble when they live in an apartment with lots of retirees who stay at home all day.
Thank god for noisy neighbors.
Bart

In reference to all the lurkers they used to have in the area, there's somethign about classical music. In Dayton, they played it on loudspeakers at the bus hub and it worked at least as well as one of those ultrasonic bug repellers. Ditto for a 7-11 a few blocks from me. Lurkers would actually cut the exterior speaker wires in order to avoid the music.
Could this be light at the end of the tunnel for music majors?
