If you had a little under $1.2 million to spend on a condo in Park Slope which of these places would you prefer? The 1,440-square-foot three-bedroom at the Ansonia on 12th Street for $1,190,000 (at left) or the 1,290-square-foot two-bedroom at 145 Park Place for $1,161,000 (at right)? We’re pretty sure which way we’d go, but we’ll wait until later in the day to give our opinion. Let’s hear yours first.

  1. Anon, the stucco, or brownstone facade, or whatever it is, was applied to the Park Place side of the building to meet landmarking requirements, as that street is landmarked. The rest is shiniest silver whatever. Altogether it is a visual trainwreck.

  2. Hey Gari N. Corp 2:05 –
    Read the crime blotter in the local papers. Almost ALL of the muggings, burgleries, assults, etc happen in beautiful North Slope – rarely do you see any of the locations in scary South Slope.

  3. I complained about the church bells and I could indeed hear them inside my apartment and actually didn’t even notice them when I was outside. I found them horrible to listen to all day long and I work at home. If it were just once a day and then on Sunday, I wouldn’t mind but all day every day is too much and an intrusion on my privacy!

  4. I went to an open house at Park Place and could not believe what they were asking for these total pieces of crap. Even for Corcoran, this was ballsy.

    Noise and panhandlers aside, there’s no central a/c, institutional windows that will turn the Flatbush-facing apartments into greenhouses, cheap bathroom finishes (plastic ‘stone’ counters, and cheap tiling).

    And as 2:19 mentioned, the a/c’s protrusion into the room kills one wall for furniture.

    But the absolute killer was that for over a million (can’t remember the unit), almost the entire view was barbed wire on the neighboring building roofs and the spray-painted back of the billboard (Kronoh, I believe, was the tagger). I’m sure they will find their suckers eventually, though.
