I’m not getting the Bay Ridge price.
Most stuff below third avenue in Bay Ridge is the best of both worlds. It feels like you’re walking in a quiet suburb but the city/subway is only a few blocks away. So I think that’s why those home fetch a good price, plus all the shools below third are zoned for two very good schools.
I saw the Windsor Terrace studio. It’s not the most convenient location amenities-wise, but the co-op appears to be solidly run. The apartment itself needed a new kitchen and bathroom. But it was large for a studio, 500sf of postwar space, not like the typical tiny brownstone studio.
RE: Bay Ridge – anything freestanding with parking typically goes for way more, so this looks like a deal to me. This is not near the water, but just below 3rd Ave. Zoned for PS 102. I saw it above and wonder if it’s a fixer upper!
These prices are ridiculous.
it all starts with the studios. seller gets good price then has profits to roll into a bigger unit and on & on it goes – at least that was what it was back in the rosier days.
that bay ridge house doesn’t look that massive so am assuming it at or close to shore road facing the water.
actually went and saw and seriously considered the carroll gardens converted church place. it is beautiful, no doubt. but for the price there were some things that really bugged me about it: to get to the master bedroom/loft you had to duck underneath this really low beam, and much worse, you could very clearly hear the upstairs neighbors walking (like you were actually listening to the floorboards shift). kitchen and bathroom were a little tired. (though I’m not really a stickler for tired kitchens) I think it could be a great place for somebody (and the price the buyer got was lower than I was lead to believe the seller would accept), but the quality of the conversion left a little to be desired.
Although I am not familiar with that particular studio, I do know that building and it is immaculate. It is a block to the park and on a nice street. I think that building is a good value.
that Butler Place condo was only 450 sq feet…750/sq foot in Prospect Heights?? Wow, I thought the bubble had burst
