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 can afford $90/mo — it’s the rest that’s tricky.
The taxes listed on the PDE site are WAY off. I own a 2 bed/2 bath apartment in the building and my taxes are about $90 a month.
My guess is that the broker just listed the pre-abatement tax figures straight from the offering plan.
Biff, how can you say there’s “nothing in the immediate vicinity”?
Agreed that block itself is utterly charmless, but it’s also one block to Brooklyn Heights proper, two blocks to just about every single train line, three blocks to Boerum Hill, and four blocks from Montague Street, Cobble Hill, Atlantic Ave (Trader Joe’s!), and the restaurants on Smith.
It isn’t a lovely brownstone street, but it’s probably much more convenient than anything in Brooklyn Heights.
Jasonliu, you can poopoo the block all you want (and I tend to agree), but one block does not a neighborhood make. Expand the definition of “neighborhood” slightly to, say, a five block radius and let us know if you still think the neighborhood stinks.
Lived right behind 110 for two years. Block is kind of blah, but the location is othersise great — every subway converges there– B Heights, Cobble Hill etc right there. I loved living in the area. The apartments in the building are really nice, but I can’t imagine paying $800+/sqf in this market. Who knows, I could be wrong.
And my last attempt at clarification: I don’t dispute this is a good location in terms of being able to get to better locations within minutes. And I’m not arguing it might formally be considered Brooklyn Heights and I’m not at all saying it’s a bad neighbourhood (I do agree with jasonliu that it feels way more downtown to me), I’m just saying I wouldn’t want to live on that specific corner and this isn’t “Brooklyn Heights proper” or whatever us pompous white asshats would call it.
Not saying you’re wrong, bxgrl, just differences in opinion, which is all good amongst friends.
Apparently I need a better job….
I still love you too. I just think we’re arguing apples and oranges. I didn’t care if someone said I lived in Bh or Boerum Hill but “no man’s land?” It isn’t. Asking price is another story- i wouldn’t spend my moeny on 110 either- but not becuase I think the neighborhood is bad (and again- it isn’t)but because I love old houses. And you. (not implying you’re old either!)
I agree that location is great…walk to all in Heights,
(even tho ‘technically’ not in heights) , Atlantic Avenue,
Smith, etc. Yeah, not so residential neighborhoody feel if thats what turn you on but certainly nice and convenient.
But as someone else said…2 little windows in that whole space? not my cup of tea. $550k tops.
bxgrl: well if we’re going to flame about our respective street creds: i went to brooklyn tech, which mean i hung out in the fulton st mall for 4 years. so i know downtown brooklyn when i see it. and 110 livingston is downtown brooklyn.
i’m not saying it’s brownsville either (i have a little bit of experience with that too, spending a few years living next to a methadone clinic in crown heights). but if i’m going to spend half a million clams to buy an apt, then the neighborhood definitely goes in the “con,” not “pro,” column. and also you have think about resale. it’s great you think that’s a good neighborhood, but obviously alot of people don’t. and just by that, you’re limiting your pool of potential buyers.
