Condo of the Day: 110 Livingston Street, #6W
This one-bedroom condo at 110 Livingston Street hit the market last week for $729,000 and was trimmed to $714,000 this week; according to StreetEasy, the 893-square-foot unit was initially purchased from the sponsor two years ago for $545,000.

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.

Okay, some friends of mine who live over by west Cobble have already told me not to walk down this part of Livingston at night because there are just too many empty office buildings, etc., there. They say they walk down Court at night (I think it was Court). So I agree and wouldn’t want to live on a street where I don’t feel safe walking home at night.
This may be a beautiful building and close to things, fine. But it isn’t Brooklyn Heights. I don’t think that realtors in general can get away with fudging the Brooklyn Heights boundaries the way they have scammed the Park Slope boundaries. Brooklyn Heights is exclusive and it costs to live there or it would not be Brooklyn Heights.
What’s with the name-calling? It is such a snooze and sounds more like the OT.
money, and your point?
Settle down with the WITTICISMS
“You are completely missing my point but I guess wit ha name like BIFF it makes sense”.
Thank you for raising the level of the discussion once again, THAL.
Contrary to what you think, I believe I do get your point and agree that the building is beautiful, the apartment is decent and the proximity to transportation and nicer blocks is very good. My point, for the very last time, is that I would not want to live on this particular corner. It has too much traffic and is simply not very attractive, in my opinion. That’s it.
way back in the day neanderthals used to think a dry cave with room to take a dump without having to going outside in the winter was a “great neighborhood”.
11201, you’re right, that wasn’t cool of me. I was just trying to put it in terms he or she might understand after reading his or her other witticisms.
Ringo, good post. You more eloquently conveyed the point I was trying to make. The building itself, as I said in my first post, is “rock solid and beautiful”.
So what constitutes a great neighborhood? Does it first and formeost have to be pretty? Because a lot of great neighborhoods are appallingly bad by those lights if you are looking at comparing them to historic districts where people with high income levels live. Because this block and the neighboring ones like Schermerhorn pretty much have everything that does constitute a great neighborhood. Court St. is nowhere? Where do you live, ringo- in Times Square?
My cousin lives on the upper east side on a street full of older apartment building and little charm. It’s convenient- except to the subway. Yet that’s a great neigbhorhood. I look at convenience, transportation, safety, amenities- 110 has all of that, and a museum. How this is somehow not a good neighborhood is beyond me. It’s not the prettiest, but then who spends all day staring at the front of their building? Although 110 is a beautiful building.
Can we please get back to talking about how ridiculous $800 bucks a square foot for real estate is?
I love it when eeryone playing Real Estate Economist gets personal!
