1240 Bedford looks like a prison. It’s hideous. Don’t know about the Dean Street building, but the PLG one is prewar and pretty nice (not that any features seem to have survived) and the Lafayette apartment is lovely. It’s a townhouse conversion, and it’s right next to all the amenities that are popping up all over west Bed-Stuy (and on the same block as the train).
i think the PLG unit is in a great spot but DAMN is it small. IMO the developers of this building ruined a pre0war building by chopping it up into a bunch of tiny awkward apartments. my one bedroom a block away from this is bigger than that place! with a smarter layout to boot.
Map each address and you’ll see why the prices are so low. “Best resale value in 3-5 years”? More like 8-10.
yeah…2 blocks away from prospect park in one case. gee, what a horrible location.
I’d go for PLG, it’s very close to multiple trains, as well as the park, and it has very low CC/taxes. I don’t think anyone buys and lives in a 2br forever (think of it like the city version of a starter home), it would have the best resale value in 3-5 years.
Oh c’mon. Plenty of people live in the 2br forever. Not everybody has kids. Not everybody has 2 kids. Not everybody lives with their kids. People buy apartments to retire to.
BTW those PLG condos pretty much doubled in price in 2 years.
That’s all true, but the question was ‘which would YOU choose?’ So that’s the one I would choose. the layout isn’t super great, but I like the train and park proximity far more than anything else the other places offer.
You can’t really move trains or parks closer to your place. They’re either there or they aren’t.
