Co-op of the Day: 201 Clinton Avenue Two Bedroom

The Clinton Hill co-ops generally offer a very solid deal: Well-maintained, if not particularly sexy, buildings right along one of the most beautiful avenues in Brooklyn. And because there are so many units (and the sponsor is gradually selling some), there are always a few available. The one we’re looking at today is a two bedroom in the northern-most building at Clinton and Willoughby. It’s a second-floor apartment so it doesn’t have the great views that some do, but it’s a real two-bedroom with a L-shaped living room with dining alcove. Perhaps some of you who live here could tell us what you think of the $459,000 asking price. Given that one-bedrooms typically trade in the $325,000 to $350,000 range, it seems about right to us.

Co-op of the Day: 209 Clinton Avenue 1 BR [Brownstoner]
I really don’t understand the readers of this blog sometimes. These are affordable apartments in a nice neighborhood. Seriously affordable. I have a graduate degree and make a good living. I consider myself extremely fortunate, and lead a very content life, but rich or upper middle class I am not. I am middle class. I cannot afford a 1 bedroom apartment that is any more than mid-300K. If the Clinton Hill co-ops suit my bank account & my needs, why do you find the need to hate on it? Maybe everyone who reads this blog is rich, or has rich parents, and doesn’t have to live in the “projects”. I just can’t figure it out.
I love these comments:
“I agree on the weekends, it can be slow.”
“Only after 11 PM does the G become troublesome”
If you are pretty much commuting from 9-6, might as well live in the burbs and catch LIRR/Metro North/NJ Transit. If you want to enjoy the city’s nightlife or weekend activities, the G train doesn’t quite cut it. Sorry if you have been priced out.
5:38, go back to Jersey or wherever you come from. It’s clearly not NYC.
f the G… worst train ever. and who loves brooklyn, the only reason people live there is because they can’t afford the city!
I commute to the financial district everyone morning by taking the G train to Hoyt/Schem and transfer to the A/C train (which ever comes first). I exit at Broadway/Nassau and unless there are delays (which is rare), my commute is 20-25 minutes door to door. I’m amazed at the level of laziness displayed on this board. I agree that the C train is a little bit of a hike from Clinton and Myrtle, but the G train is located right at Lafayette and Clinton…that’s three blocks.
I love me some Myrtle Ave…
“You have to really love Brooklyn to buy one of these”
uhhhh….we do. that’s why we read this website.
and you???
No Pam,
Everyone is entitled to their opinon, so I am in agreement with 2:28! I live in the North campus & I much prefer it to the South campus… but that’s MY OPINION, not gospel. I won’t tell you what YOU should think is better. I prefer being near Myrtle & the bigger Associated. It has a lot more commercial activity useful for errands & the like.
no 2:28,
everybody knows that clinton/greene/lafayette are the best! so beautiful. so near the g…
