This place has a great layout and personally we really like the kitchen finishes as well. Hard to see how it fetches $800 a foot now when it barely cleared $600 a foot back in the heyday.

I think they start on the 3rd or 4th Floor. This apt is in the “old” section, not sure what floor.
Actually, Nightcruzer, the building’s and units are very nice from what I remember. Very high ceilings, big windows etc. While not a pre-war co-op or anything, the units are better than hour average new construction, and the building itself is spectacular.
I thnk we can all agree that that corner of Livingston St. is blah, but esthetics aside, the location is great assuming you like the surrounding hoods.
Considering the layout and the kitchen, and still not knowing much about comparative pricing, I will agree with nightcruzer- I wouldn’t want to live in that apartment.
DeLepp- do the apartments start on the ground floor or only up above? I know the windows are very high.
And only one exposure. It’s an OK apt but at $800+ a square foot….
Livingston is a lot better than it was but charming it’s not. May not matter if you’re 15 stories up, but a “block” charm definatley matters in low slung hoods.
money- well I’d rather stick a fork in my eye than live in a suburb too but that’s my preference. I don’t condemn a neighborhood just because its not my taste.
Great neighborhoods are not determined by relativity- most people go by amenities, transportation, safety, noise levels, open spaces- if only it were that easy to render a neighborhood great merely by opinion.
Are you kidding, the same old typical layout. Boring. It is just 2 rooms with Living Room, Dining Room & Kitchen all combined into one, and it isn’t that big. 2 windows, please do not even make me go there. The kitchen doesnt even have cabinets on the wall, what is a few shelves going to do for me??
But some people will actually pay to live there, can’t figure out for the life of me why??
bklynsofar- I lived on Schermerhorn until a few years ago and I never felt unsafe walking down livingston. It’s open, pretty well lit and there is also the huge apartment building across the street so the street is fairly busy. I agree with Biff- it isn’t the prettiest St. in the nabe and I can’t speak to the price on the apartments, I really don’t know. But I lived over there long enough to have seen it go from a really dicey neighborhood to a good one.
I don’t think realtors should fudge descriptions but they do it everywhere- I don’t think anyone can say for sure the street limits on BH- I’ve seen maps definitely showing the line at Boerum, not Court when I lived there. It doesn’t matter- Brooklyn Heights may be exclusive and the name is a selling point, but big deal.
–“I gotta agree it’s not a great neighborhood”
Jeez, how narrowly are we defining “neighborhood”? The block your house sits on? A one block radius from your house?
I’m not picking on you, Ringo, but I have to ask why some people condense 110’s entire neighborhood to a single block. The block isn’t going to win any beauty awards, but the neighborhood (can we say a short 5 minute or less walk from the front door?) is pretty swell.
110 Livingston is closer to Montague than the brownstones on Cranberry. Do people who live on Cranberry (or Orange, Middagh, etc) in the Heights feel like Montague Street is not in the neighborhood because it’s five blocks away?
I’ll only settle down with the witticisms if you promise to increase your flame output and start using curse words without the punctuation substitutions.
Bx, wasn’t my point obvious?
A great neighborhood is relative. Some people like the suburbs. I’d rather stick a fork in my eye.
