Condo of the Day: 970 Kent Avenue, #107
This two-bedroom, two-bath loft at 970 Kent Avenue in Bedford Stuyvesant has a nice light and airy vibe to it, enhanced by 13-foot ceilings and large windows. We also like the open layout of the living area. The monthly common charges come to $898, not unreasonable for a 987-square-foot pad. Do you think the asking…

“Do you think the asking price of $488,000 will fly?”
Only with donkeys. LG is always watching.
***Bid half off peak comps***
i looked at several apartments in this building. i thought the big open interior space was great – and the high floor apartments really have nice light and views. but the commute is a pain with only the G there and, i’ve had a lot of friends who lived in the area and, for various reasons, after a few years they were all itching to move elsewhere.
also, i looked at an apartment with a very similar view to the BHS listing and it went for 525K (or under, maybe) sometime in late 2007/early 2008. so, i’d say 488K is overpriced for a no view unit, and 525K is overpriced for a view unit – gotta cut at least 12-15% off peak comps to get interest right?
the police station is right there – free bldg security. that along is worth 300k+
There is another BHS listing on the 7th floor that just came on the market too… http://www.brownharrisstevens.com/detail.aspx?id=1021851
Personally, I’d rather live on the 7th floor, rather than face the common building courtyard.

No.
Its a nice building and yes some condo’s look straight at the Taaffe Lofts on the next block.
(btw the Taaffe corporation owns the low rental building next to this condo building)
I believe there are more condo’s for sale in this building and the prices have been going down…
The Block is ugly and kindof deserted because of a School across the street.
Further more you will find on this street some old brownstones and a gated condo complex. On the corner of Dekalb ave is a sketchy deli where the local PJ kids “hang” and cause trouble at times.
The neighborhood is great but can be edgy at moments. Part of the deal when you decide to live here.
That’s a lot of common charges, especially since it doesn’t include real estate taxes like for a coop. They have an abatement now, but it will be an expensive proposition once the abatement expires.
Was underwhelmed when I saw these and the block is terrible.
I looked at this place years ago when it was still under contruction. Looks as though the prices have come back down to where they started orginally. I thnk it was 2004 maybe?
The West facing units face the back of another builidng so you need to be on the higher floors to get an type of view. Pretty close to Pratt but you got the PJ’s just down the block. They have some weird track as an amenity that I didn’t get as it was really small and would feel like running in circles. The space are really nice and expansive though. Real Open and Airy.
