Checking in on the Argyle
This summer the sales team for the Argyle, the 60-unit condo on 7th Street and 4th Avenue, touted that the building was “above 70 percent sold.” So far, however, there have only been 31 unit closings in the building, plus a bunch of parking spot sales.

This summer the sales team for the Argyle, the 60-unit condo on 7th Street and 4th Avenue, touted that the building was “above 70 percent sold.” So far, however, there have only been 31 unit closings in the building, plus a bunch of parking spot sales. Meanwhile, 10 condos in the building are currently on the market, according to StreetEasy. Move-ins began in June, and at around the same time prices were raised (?!) a bit on a couple of pads. As it stands, asks are ranging from $459,000 for a 646-sf, 1-bedroom to $965,000 for a 1,239-sf, 3-bedroom.

“One on each side of a metal stud. Tell me your address I’ll hit the air horn when I drive by with the rig.”
Nice dodge.
Which still does not change the fact that 239 has NEVER been a problem in regards to noise for the area. In fact they often manually direct traffic getting in/out without the sirens.
I love fourth ave. It can be faster than the BQE at certain times of day
The exterior of the building is styrofoam with a stucco skim coat. The floors are Q decking with poured concrete, they used reinforced concrete columns, the walls between the apts. are 5/8’s sheetrock. One on each side of a metal stud. Tell me your address I’ll hit the air horn when I drive by with the rig.
The building is made of concrete – even between each floors (thus FAR quieter than your standard building. I visited 2 open houses).
I live near Engine 239. I don’t know where you live but Engine 239 has NEVER been a noise problem.
You are right about the garage entrance, would have been better on the 7th street side. But then again, pretty sure the 7th street neighbors appreciated that the entrance is on the other side.
This building was built with sheetrock, styrofoam and stucco. It will fall apart in 10 years. The parking entrance is on the wrong side, you have to exit towards Bay Ridge on 4th Ave instead of exiting on 7th St, which would have given you a choice, North or South. The siren and air horn from Engine 239 is also a plus at 2am.

I’m curious – Why do you live in Park Slope (am I remembering correctly that you live in the Center Slope)?
Given that you describe Prospect Park as “gross”, like 4th Ave / New Jersey cities, and general rail against the common lifestyle preferences of your neighbors, it seems like there are other places that would suit you much better.
to enact my master plan to ungentrify the neighborhood back to how it was in the 70s! okay seriously, uh, i dont get your question. .. but i guess my answer would be for my dog. it’s a good neighborhood for my dog. better quality of life for him. plus i think in general people in park slope are very nice. also i find tons of awesome things on the street and people are always putting nice stuff out on their stoops for people to take. where i lived before the only things you found on the street were glassine baggies and animal bones. even tho im a im a firm believer in..

i dont want my dog choking on animal bones people throw all over the street or choking on glassine baggies.

My husband and I actually checked these out
I was told by one of the brokers:
“Offer anything, the developer is entertaining all offers!
this was a few months ago…
we liked both 2 BR apts we saw. The layouts are nice and the side street(which is 7th) is tree-lined and quiet.however one of the apts looks out onto the U-Haul parking lot and all apartments are euipped with those horrible hotel-style heating/cooling units in each room. That’s the reason why we passed, however we would have put in an offer

way to yuppie a building for the locals. I lived right next door to this while they were building. The people that live here now look so out of place with their mini dogs. Especially in the Deli on 4th Ave/9th St.
