Condo of the Day: 430 Clinton Avenue, #4D
We’re liking the feel of this one-bedroom FSBO at 430 Clinton Avenue in Clinton Hill. The clean, modern take on the prewar space is light without sacrificing the charm of the original space. The asking price of $475,000 is quite a bit more than what a one bedroom across the street at the Clinton Hill…
We’re liking the feel of this one-bedroom FSBO at 430 Clinton Avenue in Clinton Hill. The clean, modern take on the prewar space is light without sacrificing the charm of the original space. The asking price of $475,000 is quite a bit more than what a one bedroom across the street at the Clinton Hill Co-ops would cost, but this place has a lot more character and more space; the loftiness of the living area is particularly nice. The asking price represents a premium of about less than 10 percent over what the current owners paid for the place back in the summer of 2007. Think they’ll get it?

“Super Associated isn’t that bad it just closes at 8 every night”
That’s a problem, since I don’t get home from work till 7:30.
You don’t think THE grocery store closing at 8pm is an inconvenience?
I sure do.
As would most single people looking to plop down 500K for this apartment, I’d think.
Where are there decent sized two bedrooms in Clinton Hill for that price? I haven’t seen them.
PS. Lafayette Gardens (Lafayette btwn Franklin and Classon) are definitely NYCHA.
I just moved recently to Clinton Ave (same block as this place) from Downtown Brooklyn/Fort Greene. I feel a MILLION times safer here than I did in my previous location. There are plenty of restaurants within close walking distance from this location. There are a bunch on Dekalb and lets not forget that Prospect Heights is just on the other side of Atlantic which is only about 3 or 4 blocks from here. Super Associated isn’t that bad it just closes at 8 every night. If you want specialty groceries just walk down Greene to Greene Grape Provisions..5 min walk. The C is a 1-2 minute walk..it takes me 23 minutes to get to the meat packing district where I work. If you need to get to the east side you can transfer across the platform for the F at Jay St…takes my husband 30 mins to get to work at 24th and Madison. You also have a million buses. I just don’t see the “dodginess” or the inconveniences you all are talking about here..
No Sweat Wasder, sometimes the tone gets lost in this digital world.
These university co ops look like Projects to me. While the border between Fort Green, Clinton Hill and Bed Stuy is not quiet clear in my book, i think most got what i was talking about. Yes, you may not want to raise a family into a 1 bedroom apt, but i’m also convinced that people who are gonna buy an apt right now will intend to stay 5 years or more in their new home vs flipping it within a year.
This apt is too expensive for a single person while couples have and will have better options to pick from.
lived here for 7 yrs. No incidents. no complaints. Raising family here. love the hood – especially the ease of finding parking spots (2nd to none). To each his own. As there are tons of listings that compare favorably to this one, I can find & name a bunch that compare unfavorable. That said thought, this does seem a little high (ie 60k high).
I don’t consider 4th Avenue dodgy at all.
Ugly, yes. But not dodgy.
We all have differing ideas of dodgy clearly.
I find that walking in the darkness and quiet in Clinton Hill rather terrifying at night, myself. And I have a pretty high tolerance.
^^^^dodgy is relative. the ‘dodgy’ of 4th ave is no comparison to the dodgy of the PJ near Dumbo. I’ll walk 4th ave alone at night anytime over the Dumbo PJ thankyou.
Many good hoods in NYC are surrounded by “dodgy” areas. Dumbo, Park Slope has 4th Ave, Boreum Hill has south of warren, UES had spanish harlem. It’s the nature of living in a city. What’s nice about Clinton Ave is that there is not 100 bars and resturants within walking distance. Clinton is quite peacefull at night except for the occasional crack-head rant at 4AM, again city living.
To amend my previous post, the buildings from St James to Classon are the University Houses. AFter Classon you are technically in Bed Stuy. Don’t know if the buildings between Classon and Franklin are public housing or not.
