New York City apartments are expensive. Generally, there's a decently good reason. The unit may be in an especially desirable neighborhood, close to this or that, or something of the sort.  

But NYC rentals get wildly expensive when amenities are packed on despite the fact that recent data shows the City's luxury units are worse for the environment than the City's transportation pollution.

Regardless, we have some wildly fancy places to live here, and Brooklyn's most expensive apartments are no different. 

An astounding 85 feet away from the Brooklyn Bridge, the units at 60 Water Street are stunning.

The DUMBO building is Brooklyn's most expensive building to live in. Rents in the neighborhood average $2,880 per month for a one bedroom. At 60 Water Street, the least expensive unit is a 452 square-foot studio going for $2,964. 

DUMBO rates only go up from there as a one bedroom runs $4,043, and a two bedroom runs $5, 788 on average. 

60 Water Street's rates vary depending on the views and amenities included in each unit, but let's just say they can run about a grand above the DUMBO average.

Enviable aspects of living in the most expensive building in Brooklyn include Bosch appliances, in-unit washer and driers, and let's not forget some of the best views there are of one of New York's most historic bridges.

Not only that, the rooftop is astounding. Designed by the creator of the High Line Park, the 6,000 square foot rooftop deck features indigenous plants and sleek wooden decks and seating.  

So check out the photos below. Even if that's as close as you ever get to setting foot in one of the units, you'll probably feel a bit fancier by the bottom of the page.
