At the Winter Carnival I ran into a friend in the cafeteria, where I enjoyed some delicious pasta from Scottadito.

This friend, a divorced mom of two kids, told me that she’s looking for a new apartment. The owners of the 3-bedroom brownstone apartment she’s in now are raising the rent $500 this summer and the apartment.

“They want to renovate the apartment and they want me out,” she told me.

A longtime Park Sloper, my friend wants to stay in the neighborhood she loves, where her kids go to school and where she has many friends.

Sadly, she is very nervous that she won’t be able to find an apartment in her price range.

If anyone knows of a 3-bedroom apartment that will be available in June please let me know. She’d like to spend no more than $2,300.
