Located on Willoughby Street between Fort Greene Park and Flatbush Avenue, University Towers was originally built as rental apartments but went co-op in the late 1980s. The building boom around it in Downtown Brooklyn has to bode well for prices of the 549 non-descript but reasonably-sized apartments in the three-building complex. This two-bedroom co-op is now on the market for $560,000, compared to a similar one that was priced at $530,000 earlier this year. Another comp: A 750-square-foot one-bedroom sold earlier this fall for $340,000, or about $450 a foot. A lot cheaper than the Oro!
