Co-op of the Day: 280 Ocean Parkway

280oceanpkwymont.jpg
We stumbled across this listing on Craigslist and sweet-talked some photos out of the listing broker before they made it up on the Fillmore site because this seemed like a table-pounding 'buy' to us at the asking price of $475,000. It's a 1,700-square-foot former doctor's office with its own entrance in a 114-unit co-op building. Other stats: three bedrooms, one and a half baths, renovated kitchen. Maintenance? $1,051. We bet this'll be gone by Monday.

what's the catch? crapola block or something?

I live near there. The block is good. The neighborhood is safe. Actually the listing fails to mention its about a block away from the express bus stop so if you work in lower manhattan its a twenty minute commute, which is sweet. The only catch is kensington doesn't have that much in the way of restaurants or bars. But park slope is nto far so...

I bet this won't be gone by monday. Sounds pricey to me.

the maintenance is probably the issue. Someone at a $400k price point may have a budget for $2k a month for a mortgage, and now has to consider if they can afford over $3k a month in outgoings..

3:32 has it right. Also, I'm pretty positive that the apt. is on the corner of OP & Church and the traffic/noise may also be an issue.
