Co-op of the Day: 45 Martense Street #5E
We’re not wild about the new kitchen and bathroom finishes but otherwise this two-bedroom co-op at 45 Martense Street is looking pretty good. At 1,400 square feet it’s a lot of apartment for $349,000, even for Prospect Lefferts Gardens (and especially since it’s prewar). The bedrooms are gigantic, there’s a ton of closets and there…

At 1,400 square feet it’s a lot of apartment for $349,000, even for Prospect Lefferts Gardens (and especially since it’s prewar). The bedrooms are gigantic, there’s a ton of closets and there are two bathrooms. The maintenance is $856 a month. Good buy?

It’s interesting to watch the discussion here, as someone who lives in this building. While I know it is not PLG proper, I can tell you that you’re wrong if you think it’s “an apartment for a young family from the neighborhood” (whatever that means in code). The demographic of this building is becoming way more Lark and Play Kids patron than you might expect.
I hate all the dead-ends in that neighborhood. 10 minute walk to the B/Q at Church St. walking around dead-endy Flatbush would annoy me.
