I am looking to purchase a condo/coop in the Prospect Heights/Crown Heights area.I have a very low budget of around $220k. I saw a 2 bed condo, 750 sf. Cute, but small, no amenities, 2nd fl walkup. Unit is liveable as is, but I would need to put $$$ into it to suit my tastes. Priced at $225k. Can I find a better deal? I’ve seen coops for that price, but I know the condo makes more financial sense. BTW, the bldg next door is listing 2 beds around $400k,but all brand new everything.It’s across the street from the armory/homeless shelter that will supposedely be turned into a family rec center, on Bedford Ave. Any thoughts/suggestions?
