I agree about how LOVELY these apartments are. I used to live in one of the 1960s towers in the Village, on the outside it looked like the Co-ops. This is a common mid-century Modern style. The co-ops are really fantastic, the people who live there are a great mix of people who have been in the neighborhood for years and younger residents, middle class or working class people of diverse backgrounds, young families too. My sister lives here and I know the buildings very well, in fact, I almost got a place here too. The apartments are HUGE and have amazing closets, high ceilings, very tall windows and are flooded with light. :-)

It is 360 NOT 358. I live at 360 in a similar apt. - legally you may call this a 2 BR because the 2nd room has windows. I use mine as an office. It's up to each person to decide but it IS in fact a 2 BR. The price seems high but I agree with the fact that the comps do seem to support the ask and they seem to have renovated to a high standard. RE: the heat, that's the price you pay to be in a pre-War, however, the co-op is working on resolving the heating issues. I LOVE this building and this area! THis is a GREAT neighborhood with friendly people and my neighbors in 360 Clinton all are very cordial and considerate.

That said, my sister lives in the Co-ops and I almost bought in the ones across the street. They were built for Brooklyn Navy Yard workers, I am told, in the 1940s and 1950s. They are a GREAT value and the only difference between them and mine, frankly, is that the co-ops don't have the crown molding or curved doorways. Otherwise, they have BETTER closets, and 24 hour security, the latter is lacked by my building. I don't like the classist tone of many of the posts here, if you don't like a diverse neighborhood made up of varied races, ethnicities and classes, great, take your attitude elsewhere, preferably to Manhattan.

I live in this building and I LOVE it. The neighbors are friendly, the pre-war apartments are big, with nice details, lots of tall windows and the area is quiet. I take the G to the A at Hoyt and arrive at W 4th quickly, or I walk to the Lafayette stop on the C - very close at Greene St., you can also take the C at Clinton Washington which is closer.
