On the ground
What do renters in Bushwick look for?
Bushwick's housing is mostly walk-ups, two- and three-family houses and converted industrial buildings, with newer construction in between. Renters come for the neighborhood as much as the unit: restaurants, bars and cafes around the Jefferson Street and Morgan Avenue stops on the L, the murals of the Bushwick Collective, and Maria Hernandez Park. The L and the J, M and Z trains both run through it.
In a walk-up, light, layout and outdoor space do most of the work a doorman and a gym do elsewhere. Those are what a Bushwick listing should lead with, along with which train is closest.

What makes a Bushwick walk-up lease quickly?
Light, layout and outdoor space, since a walk-up is not competing on a doorman or a gym. Say which train is closest in the first line, show the brightest rooms first, and price it against comparable walk-ups rather than the neighborhood's newer buildings.
