Another Unit Reduced at the Greenhouse Condos
The Greenhouse Condos at 383 Carlton Avenue haven’t been having the easiest time when it comes to resales. The poster child for that syndrome has been Apartment 10E which has been on the market since last November despite several modest price cuts that have left the 1,028-square-foot pad priced at $895,000.

The Greenhouse Condos at 383 Carlton Avenue haven’t been having the easiest time when it comes to resales. The poster child for that syndrome has been Apartment 10E which has been on the market since last November despite several modest price cuts that have left the 1,028-square-foot pad priced at $895,000. Just last week a 1,280-square-foot unit on the 8th Floor was reduced from $1,075,000 to $999,000 after only a few days on the market. Like most of the units in the building, this one’s got a terrace from which to enjoy the views. At $800 a foot, though, is this still priced too high?

I am thinking of buying in this building but offering very, very low. i dont understand the comments about the neighborhood not being nice. Walked 5 blocks deep in all directions and seemed gorgeous and super convenient to so many subways, shopping etc. directly south gets a tad sketchy but nothing terrible. I agree the architecture is out of the sync with teh neighborhood but nothing like some of the monstrousities in Williamsburg and elsewhere. It’s just neither here nor there but the inside is nice and seems solidly built.Other pros are low common charges, outdoor space, gym, storage space, etc. Curious to talk to others who currently live here.
This building is ugly and oppressive looking. It sticks out like a sore thumb on a block otherwise consisting of pretty brownstones. A large part of Fort Greene’s appeal is its architecture. I don’t know why someone would move out here just to buy in one of these butt ugly condo buildings.
12:36, Don’t understand the fascination with Fort Greene? This is the typical comment of someone from either PS, BH or CH. They can not understand or fathom the thought that a neighborhood that is not all lilly white may actually be cooler/hipper than there own. BH? Please , give me a break. I lived there for a few years before moving to FG and FG blows it away. All Brooklyn nabes have something cool and unique so lets not try to put others down to make yours better. Actually, BH is pretty cool too.

I wonder how energy efficient this building is. I hope it doesn’t heat the outdoors in winter. So many buildings have gone up these past few years. You watch them going up and see how uninsulated they are and how much heat-bridging is being built right in…
Basically, 95% of the new buildings in the vein of this thread’s, seem to me, have gone up without thought to thermal bridging and often little decent “real” insulation…guess it maximizes sq. footage.
The building is fine. There’s parking. The location is very central. Views are good. Well built so you don’t hear your neighbors. Generously sized rooms with high ceilings, good storage, tasteful bathrooms. It all depends on the price a buyer wants to pay.
I have thought of selling the house and buying in this building.
Some of you posters are straight corny. ALL these neighborhoods have something to offer culturally. Stop stereotyping and get out AND explore. FG,CH,PH,PS,BS,CG,BH,CH,WB…
BROOKLYN ROCKS!!!

FORT GREENE ROCKS!
