Co-op of the Day: 431 7th Street
A reader who lives on this block of 7th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues sent this duplex co-op listing in disbelief. “I live on this block and paid waaaaaaay less for what I have,” he writes. “Are these prices crazy?” Of course, he neglects to say when he bought his place, so who knows….
A reader who lives on this block of 7th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues sent this duplex co-op listing in disbelief. “I live on this block and paid waaaaaaay less for what I have,” he writes. “Are these prices crazy?” Of course, he neglects to say when he bought his place, so who knows. As for this duplex today? We have a hard time seeing how someone’s gonna pay $1.8 million for a 3-bedroom walk-up in a 3-unit co-op. But, then again, according to Property Shark, this apartment traded at $1.5 million in June 2005, so there’s some basis for the price. What do readers think? Crazy? Or just so crazy it might work?
Best Duplex in Park Slope [Brown Harris Stevens] GMAP P*Shark
who is this person who keeps bringing up that there is no place to park their car? Ok, we get it, you value your parking space, but you sound like a broken record.
For all the nagging on the location people, it doesn’t matter what you can get in Queens or Nebraska – the issue is can you get something nicer in PARK SLOPE for this price? Seems the answer is YES. So that would mean this place is overpriced and not worth asking. Who cares what the previous owner paid? Maybe they overpaid too. I’m about to go into contract on a place where the owner who bought in ’05 is losing money on the deal. Not my problem though.
I think 4:21 was being sarcastic.
posters like 4:21 make me realize how many people only live here so that they can make a quick buck. they don’t care about new york, or living in a great city, or socializing with people.
they care about one thing only $$$$$$$
kinda sad but just makes looking for those of us who actually do love park slope and brooklyn even more fun.
wow 4:21 you sure do love urban living.
3 homes and a new car. great news for the environment and our society filled with people who are unable to communicate with anything other than a computer.
go you!
Hey you who paid 1.8, come over to my house you can have it for 1.7 and You will have rental income. and no church choir —Then I can finally buy that ranch in North dakota I have wanted and my house in the desert and a small apt in miami beach and a new car.
I lived in that building as a tenant quite a few years ago. There was something wrong with the heat in that building — we froze on the second floor as did the tenants in that duplex. It was toasty warm on the 1st floor but the heat did not make it upstairs. The only owner-occupied unit was the first floor and the owners were major, major jerks — after living in that building, I would never buy into a small co-op. The block is very nice but the church can be quite noisy.
yeah, doug moved to the burbs cause he couldn’t take how dangerous park slope has become.
don’t blame him. i’m scared to leave my apt. now. 7th avenue has become SKID ROW!!!
2:37, get a life.
if i gave you crime stats for every street in nyc, we’d probably be unable to come up with a single block in this whole great city that hasn’t seen some sortof crime on it.
useless scare tactic. makes you look like a total pussy also, btw.

first of all, no need to get so nasty. i have lived in brooklyn for over a decade in several different locations. we paid $1800 a month in rent for a 2 bedroom apt 2 doors down from the 1.8 mil duplex. i would like to add that we were further away from the church than this duplex and found the noise irritating, borderline unbearable in the summer. i am not particularly sensitive to noise nor do i have unrealistic expectations of city living. i just feel that the future owners should be made aware of this issue considering they will be plunking down over 1.5 million for a duplex coop. i wouldn’t be surprised if that was one of the reasons why the owners are selling after only 2 years of living there. i didn’t bother me enough to move since we were paying a fair rent (not cheap) at $1800. if my mortgage was close to $10,000 a month and i was not made aware of this issue, i would feel duped.
