Checking In On The Warren Lofts
The Scarano-designed development at 335 Warren Street known as the Warren Lofts hit the market in late 2007. Six of the eight units sold relatively quickly but two still remain.

Who’s looked at these?

welcome to the neighborhood asdf. Don’t forget to mention the kid’s playground on the block too.
And I can understand someone liking the apts… just not what would be practical for me. I do like look of the outside.
I live in the building. The other people who bought here are real people too.
The building is certainly odd. I like it. I can see the majority of people not liking it.
The block is not pretty, that is for sure. But then again, the building is 65 yards from the same subway station everyone else who lives anywhere near here uses. It is also that same 65 yards away from Smith St, on a block with a drug store, a grocery store and a hardware store, and with everything else Smith/Court is known for a very short walk away.
Yes, there are projects at the far end of the block, 150 yards away. These same projects are 1 block, 215 yards, away from much of Smith St. People walk down the block all the time to go from the projects to the subway at Smith, go to the grocers, or live their lives in general. I don’t find this to be the end of the world.
I have no issue with public housing except for the guys asking me to show respect when i am waiting in line late at night at the deli and of course the eggs during haloween.
Trust me it’s better lots don’t consider living near public housing. less demand is good for my rent and good for buyers.
so if i am correct Gowanus or Wyckoff houses is no go area ?
Whats wrong there Brooklyn Chicken ?
Brooklyn Chicken: Thanks for that. I get so tired of people invoking public housing as a reason to not consider a property. Every neighborhood in Brooklyn is near public housing of some sort and the attitude that public housing residents are a detrimental factor is one of the more unpleasant reactionary attitudes found on this site.
Prodigal Son and others commenting on “proximity to the projects,” do you live anywhere near Gowanus or Wyckoff Houses? You seem to have no idea what you are talking about. And, like Petebklyn points out, the entirety of Boerum Hill and northern Carroll Gardens, including Smith Street, is blocks from the godless heathens who slink about those housing projects. Best to keep safe up on the Upper East Side.
well, I’ve been on inside and real living space was small – masked by high ceilings and usual scarano loft design. Stairs were very steep and loft space seemed useless.
I don’t find the block any dirtier than a few yard across Smith on the fancier blocks. Just not as pretty as those blocks so maybe people don’t notice how dirty those are too.
HS kids from here don’t loiter, sit on stoops, etc,etc – school security sees to that. And if proximity to projects is a problem – I think you need to stay away from Smith st bars and restaurants too. And from most of the neighborhood even though has consistently had one of lowest crime rate precincts in NYC>
“Why is the school a bad thing?”
You want a throng of teenagers with no place to go hanging out in front of your house everyday?
I lived a block away from a HS once. I repeat ONCE. They would throw so much garbage (candy and ship wrappers, soda bottles etc) into my front yard area, sit on the stoop and smoke, get into fights and smash against the cars, steal the packages that the idiot UPS driver would leave wedged under the stoop (after I told him repeatedly not to). It was a daily nightmare.
Ha! A pack of Kools. Priceless 🙂
I placed an offer for 235K and a pack of Kools, the counter was 236K and 2 packs of Marlboro 100’s so I passed, ciggs are like 10 bucks a pop now.
