This two-bedroom converted condo is in one of the most up-and-coming nabes in Brooklyn. The blocks east of Washington Avenue in Prospect Crown Heights experiencing a serious building boom, with high-end new construction projects like Hello Living spreading like wildfire. Given the proximity to Prospect Heights and Clinton Hill, not to mention Prospect Park, if the real estate market can keep chugging along for another couple of years, this neighborhood will have passed the tipping point. If that happens, $695,000 for a 1,400 square of ground floor space at 457 Prospect Place might look like a decent deal in retrospect. The reno isn’t our style but isn’t low-end either. It’s hard to tell what the overall light and air—probably the key factor in evaluating a ground-floor space—is like in this place. It hit the market on Friday last month and there was an open house on Saturday. Anyone check it out?

Has anyone seen both this propert and/or 763 Bergen? I am checking 763 out later – these are very different layouts but seem somewhat comparable – so I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts? Thanks!
me and my girl friend saw 457 prospect pl it is one of the nicest condos I saw, they got a good designer we might go for it we loved it.
Some people on the Brooklynian board are similarly obsessed with that border. If you like where you live, then it shouldn’t matter what it’s called.
There are people who move to the nabe, only to find out from an internet forum that they actually live in Crown Heights and then they start posting frantically: “why didn’t anyone tell me? Now it’s too late.”
As if a few initials suddenly change their living quarters or their street. I bought an apartment in the St Marks Lofts. I don’t care whether it’s PH or CH. I’m just happy to move there.
Prospect Heights begins at Classon. This has been accepted WAY before Brownstoner, Speculators, and the Corcoran Group.
No, I don’t live in this area trying to get PH dap. I’m just a long time (my whole life) Brooklyn dude.
seems high-priced to me for a pretty rough neighborhood. take a look at the crime maps for brooklyn. this is still not a particularly safe hood.
And Kansas City is in Missouri, Jack Krohn. Your point being…?
In fact, I did a quick search for Prospect Heights High School, and insideschools.org indicates that the school is indeed in Crown Heights: http://www.insideschools.org/fs/school_profile.php?id=1028.
“People just don’t want to know they’re living in Crown Heights” . . . . ? News to me!
They are applying for a tax abatement and that would put the taxes at $121 a month … they have also had a price drop since the last couple of open houses.
The taxes are really high for some reason. Something like $450 a month.
