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.

BIFF you are really missing the point. Its almost embarassing. at 110 you are getting a brandnew apartment with awesome amenities thats in mint condition. That means something. So I will say it again I dont see too manty apts in B- Heights that are as nice as this one. Yes I am not talking about brownstones. You are completely missing my point but I guess wit ha name like BIFF it makes sense.
BTW I am a chef.
I gotta agree it’s not a great neighborhood, altho it is close to a lot of things. Listen, you could live across from Barnes & Noble on Court Street and argue you’re in the best location in Brooklyn. But… you would be living on court street! That’s the problem here. Easy to get anywhere, sure. But you are really kind of nowhere.
I do like this building tho. And I think you can rent things out for decent money (I know someone renting there). And I LOVE the roof deck that a different friend lives in… Speaking of which, it’s a great building if you’re 30-35. Social with a lot of young people. Is 35 still considered young?
“the block it is on sucks”
Biff, I understand that THAL got under your skin a little, but to use words like “horrific” and “sucks” about a block where lots of people chose to make their home is really uncool, dude.
Hmm, even 11201 accused THAL of being a broker in the past.
And lastly…
“I dont live in Brooklyn Heights but its by far the nicest area of Brooklyn”

THAL, there’s a ton of stock in brooklyn heights proper for under $700k. i should know, i’m under contract for one.
“Why dont you look to see what is avaiable in CHARMING-VILLE aka Brooklyn Heights for under $700k??? ”
THAL, that’s interesting since another time you called Brooklyn Heights the nicest area in Brooklyn. Here are some other witticisms / anger mismanaged statements of yours. Bitter, party of one…
“Action Jackson seriously shut it. Bottom line the area is over rated and Boerum and Cobble blow it away… There is nothing like driving or walking by Target and the rest of that horrible shopping area. It is a joke.”
“I guess if you are into hanging out at shady havan outpost than go for it Fort Greene is for you. I just find that area very suspect and very hard to get in and out of. Its always a complete cluster fu*k.”
“Sam is just a typical meathead.”
“First of all some people on here are clueless…”
“People buy a place to be in an area. There are a ton of brownstones in bedstuy and crown heights for 500k but who the hell would want to live there.”
“Or you can go buy a house In Bensonhurst… People are so clueless sometimes.”
“WHat will happen with TROUT space now???? Hopefully something good comes in….Becasue that and Pacific is a dump…”
“Pacifico is a joke as well. Dirty and rude staff.When you walk by both they are filthy and undesirable. They have the Pacific Pizza its never open it just makes no business sense the way they ran it.”
“WOW you solved everything. Its so simple. JACKASS…”
“cwbuecheler – you are a loser… Great job tool bag.”
“Fatlenny and ingo are clueless…”
“Its amazing how many clueless and negative renters try to give advice.”
THAL- beg to differ. Biff is no moron. He’s a sweetheart.
On other things I agree. And whether or not this particular block is “charmless”, I’ve seen many just as charmless in some of the most expensive areas of Manhattan. The area is undergoing rapid growth and it’s a safe and very convenient neighborhood.

I applaud your assessment of the seller’s potential recreational habits and share them. But:
“Don;t get me wrong. I think they should make a profit.”
Whay exactly? They bought 2 years ago. Equals the near height of the frothiest, most leveraged RE market in history.
We are coming to the end of a 25-year credit binge with the entire global economy going through a painful de-leveraging.
So why do these sellers have a right to a profit on an asset they bought at an inflated price. If I bought JDS Uniphase stock in 1999 at 100 bucks a share (I did), did I deserve a profit instead of the 10 bucks a share I got when I sold it after the tech bubble collapsed?
These buyers willingly purchased an asset and investment that is not worth what they paid. Sorry, they deserve to lose money so that buyers like myself who would like an affordable home can finally get property close to it’s actual market value.
This ideal that homebuyers are some noble breed who don’t deserve to feel the wrath of the back hand of the market is ridiculous.
Biff I live in the area as well and am not a broker at all.

I would take an apartment in this building alot faster than somewhere in the Heights for that price.
