“We’re here from 8 to 8, and the phone’s been off the hook” with prospective tenants, said Joshua Bond, property manager of the Princess Eugenia apartments at 1012 3rd St.
It was there, in a third-floor, street-facing unit in the corner of the building, that Bulger and girlfriend Catherine Greig lived out their retirement under the aliases Charles and Carol Gasko — a quiet, modest beach-bumming pair of Santa Monica retirees whose secret stash reportedly included $800,000 in cash and an arsenal of weapons.
If renters are out for Whitey’s bargain-basement rent of $1,145 — which he’d been paying in cash, every month, since at least 1996 — they’re out of luck. Now that he’s been captured, the unit’s next tenant will pay market rate, said to be somewhere around $2,500.
