Hello,
I’m looking at an apartment in the Prospect Towers, 341 10th Street. Does anyone have any information on this building? The apartment is newly renovated, but I’m unsure about the condition of the building and the management company.
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

  1. WOW you really want to know. Well the thing is that its about the same price, if not a bit lower than most 2 bedrooms we’ve seen…and we saw a lot, probably close to 30.

    The building has a laundry room, the apartment is close to 1000 sq ft, brand new kitchen, appliances have never been used, lots of closets, a bedroom that fits a king size bed (a luxury in Brooklyn) and a balcony.

    We’re thinking whatever the building issues, the apartment will be great.

  2. don’t quote me, i believe its former Mitchell-Lama building. Haven’t seen any major crime issues out of there for the past few years, its pretty benign. you could encounter resentment on a personal level for being one of the high rent rich people thats displacing long time stabilized tenants.

    People buying brownstones across the street haven’t seemed to mind paying really premium prices, and while overall i think there are some naive/stupid buyers out there in general, this is one block that actually may pay off. Its not a housing project, and in fact is on its way to being just another apartment building (in 10+ years….).

    If you’re just a run of the mill renter you should be getting a good deal, if not i’d consider different block with neighbors who graduated from college. depends on discount from market they’re renting these things at. spill the beans……..how much?
