Condo of the Day: 475 Sterling Place, #3I
The listing for this two bedroom condo at 475 Sterling Place calls it “the best value per square foot in Prospect Heights” and, at $575,000 for 1,119 square feet, it’s probably not far off the mark except for the fact that some people might argue that it’s technically in Crown Heights. The building was one…

The building was one of the first new ones to go up in the area and it’s been a long slog but we think it’s one of the better looking ones and $500 a foot is pretty reasonable. Waddya think?

Heather, see http://insideschools.org/index12.php?fs=584 apparently it’s outside PS 9’s zone.

Great eye! The 16th Street condos and 475 Sterling have the same developer, CPC.
Middle of nowhere? Hardly. With the accessibility to the Shuttle, 2/3, 4/5 this is about as good as it gets when you add the fact that the B45 stops at the corner.
My only concern is that you will have bus noise in the front of the building and playground noise at the back of the building.
I’ve been in the building. New construction that’s halfway decent, ceiling to floor windows, parking spaces for sale as real property. In the middle of nowhere? Washington has finally cought fire in terms of retailing the past year. The block can use some improvement but not terrible.
I’m happy to report my girl and I went into contract a couple days ago. The building has everything I’m looking for: it’s in the community I love (been here 3 years), an onsite parking space, 3 blocks from the 2/3 train, great space, & great light. Pretty excited…
Is it zoned for ps 9?
There’s also a nice low key yoga place on Washington/St. Mark’s. Gen gives decent sushi and Chevalla’s is right up the street on Classon gives some really good Mexican. 2/3 is a decent line. Runs well even in the wee hours. Three stops to Atlantic/Pacific where you can transfer to almost anything. I use the B45 so much it might as well be my own personal taxi. B45 not only goes to Atlantic Terminal (~15 min ride) but the last stop in downtown is two blocks from Trader Joe’s (~30 min ride). If you’re a lady of color who’d like to get her hair did in someplace nicer than the shoebox places on Nostrand there are a few clean, airy shops along Washington. Don’t know about quality or prices though.
All this and only a five minute walk from my favorite watering hole Franklin Park!
As far as safety is concerned I think it’s perfectly safe if you use the same basic common sense rules you’d use anywhere else in the city.
Oh. Wait. I got that backwards. Oh, well.
Compared with THE HOLE.
“it’s really out there in the middle of nowhere.”
Compared with…?
