In Contract: Park Slope's $3.2 Million Co-op
When we first saw that this co-op at 9 Prospect Park West that has been listed for the last several weeks at $3.2 million had gone into contract, we did a double-take. This has to be one of the highest, if not the highest, price for a co-op in Park Slope ever, no? But with…
When we first saw that this co-op at 9 Prospect Park West that has been listed for the last several weeks at $3.2 million had gone into contract, we did a double-take. This has to be one of the highest, if not the highest, price for a co-op in Park Slope ever, no? But with a moment to reflect, we realized that the price is less than $1,000 a foot and therefore significantly cheaper than some of the apartments at the nearby Richard Meier-designed On Prospect Park. And if you like your buildings prewar, this place is infinitely more appealing. Has anything else changed hands in this building near this price point? What’s the skinny on the building?

If the fireplace wasn’t “decorative” and actually worked, this would be one of the top 10 apartments in all of New York.
I used to live in that building. Hope the new owners don’t mind the endless stream of assessments, on top of that maintenance…
I’m pretty sure I’ve been in this apartment–owned by a parent in my kids’ school. I think it was once 2 apartments and they were combined. It is across from the Park, great location–top of the line in this Nabe. Has that old UES/UWS feel where you walk right out the elevator into the apt. Wow–what a price!
I know several people who live in this building and it’s truly spectacular — on a par with best Fifth Avenue or Central Park West co-ops. A comparable apartment in Manhattan would go for, what, $10 million? More? Though I prefer brownstone living and would spend the same money, if I had it, on a brownstone in the North Slope, this is well worth the asking price for someone who can afford it and wants to live in a pre-war, doorman building.
This apartment is awesome. Was it designed this size, or was it originally one or two apartments that were combined?
Layout is great but I’d rather have a wrap around terrace instead of one of the bedrooms esp with that view. Also unlike 11:54 I like the kitchen that opens into a family room since everyone hangs out near the kitchen anyway–besides there is a separate formal living room.
Outdoor space? Prospect Park!
i’m guessing with that kind of money, they’ll spend the 500 a month or whatever it is for the garage on union between 8th and the park.
should be just fine.
i live a couple blocks from here on the ground floor and if i could tell you how many times i’ve looked out my window and for what seems like an hour have spots open on my block.
i think you just don’t know where to look.
