Condo of the Day: 100 Jay Street, #16H
Here’s a pretty swanky three-bedroom pad at the J Condo in Dumbo that’s particularly notable for the fact that its asking price of $1,349,000 is firmly on the south side of the $1,000-a-foot mark where most of the other listings in the building seem to hover. Couple that with the fact that the apartment is…
Here’s a pretty swanky three-bedroom pad at the J Condo in Dumbo that’s particularly notable for the fact that its asking price of $1,349,000 is firmly on the south side of the $1,000-a-foot mark where most of the other listings in the building seem to hover. Couple that with the fact that the apartment is family-sized (1,592 square feet) and immaculately put together and we could see this place getting some traction with buyers. Not necessarily at the asking price of $1,349,000 (cuz who pays that anymore?) but realistically within 10 percent of it or so. You think?

“cause you can walk to Union Sq from J in 40 minutes and for what it is worth DUMBO has the interesting shops, art exhibits, St. Ann’s warehouse, and F train isn’t any worse than any other line and just a couple stops to Smith St. restaurants and much quicker(and more frequent) to midtown than any PATH train.”
Petebklyn, are you kidding? The F train does not run as often as so many other lines in Brooklyn. The B, Q, N, R & A are much better lines. The 2 & 3 come much more often than the F. It’s a fact! And try to squeeze on to the F during rush our at that stop in DUMBO heading into the city. Sardine can doesn’t begin to describe how packed it can be. The Q train… from Dekalb Ave. it’s 2 stops to Union Square. How man stops is it to Union Square on the F? Hmmm, let me see… oh yeh, the F doesn’t go to Union Square. But it does go to East Broadway. Thank god! I mean I’m always looking for ways to get to East Broadway. (yes, read with sarcasm please)
If you see living room as narrower and smaller than bedrooms – then you were not looking at same floor plan I did. LR was 13′ wide and bdrms 11′.
Sounds more like – let me quickly look at something and let me come up quickly with something negative to say no matter if makes sense or not.
i’m not much for living in Dumbo, but if you haven’t seen these apts, you don’t quite get it. they are not cookie cutter, falling down or average. they are really really nice. i looked at them out of curiosity, and thought they were terrific apts.
re location: for me, not a fan of the dirt, the projects, but especially the noise! it’s soooo loud in that particular spot. i’m a person who absolutely needs tons of outdoor space, and even if you have a balcony, you’ll never use it because it’s so freakin loud.
Packer & St. Ann’s: the perfect schools for anyone willing to pay 1.349 for this.
Sigh. I voice my opinion over a rather odd layout having the living room smaller & narrower than the bedrooms, which might make for a more pleasing two bedroom, saying NOTHING about square footage, and I get called an entitled idiot desirous of a McMansion. You may think you have me pigeon-holed Mr. Bklyn, but you do not.
“Family friendly perhaps. But what school is that family supposed to go to? There’s no elementary school down there and the one you’d be zone for is nothing to write home about to say the least.”
Not sure what this is all about. PS 8 is well-regarded (and well-attended by other J Condo residents). Packer and St. Ann’s are walkable (or you can wheel your SUV out of the garage and drive over in 5 minutes, like lots of other parents do).
dirty hipster – I think its because of all the pollution from the BQE and the bridges that everyone was raving about yesterday.

Once all is said and done and one moves in here and parks the car downstairs, how different is it really from a tower condos in Jersey City likr the Newport? I’m sure the 3-bedrooms are much cheaper there, the parking, cheaper, and the PATH gets you to manhattan and is nicer than the F.
