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 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 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?

In addition to the restaurants near Eastern Parkway, Washington Avenue has improved its retail/restaurant/bar offering in the last year and continues to do so (Muertos, Ortine, Wash Commons, Shane, Way Station). Also Classon and Franklin are seeing the same thing.
That SQUARE FOOTAGE for that apartment is WAY OFF. At best it is 33′ by 22′ which is 726 sq. ft. FAR SHORT of the listed 1100
Price chops of 2-6% ain’t gonna get the job done. This place is only half sold. Chop like you mean it.
Seahawk, you heard wrong about the parking. Check the recent sales on streeteasy.
Petebklyn, parking is available for purchase, with a low monthly maintenance. You’d need to talk to the listing agent to find out the current list prices of the parking – remembering that this is a buyer’s market and most things are open to negotiation. We paid less than half for our space what we were quoted at the Argyle on 4th Ave. The spaces are outdoors.
gemini10, the neighborhood is improving all the time. Washington Ave has a number of quite good restaurants, mostly Caribbean at this end, but also a nice Greek BYOB (Teddy’s). Tom’s (Washington & Sterling) diner is famous in the neighborhood for its breakfast. I don’t use dry cleaners a lot, but there are several on Washington. There are four bodegas on Washington within 5 minutes walk and a moderate sized Key Food on Washington between Lincoln and Eastern Pkwy. The 2/3 trains run from Eastern Pkwy, 6 minutes walk. 4/5 run from Franklin Ave (10 minutes walk), the Franklin Ave shuttle is about 7 minutes walk. The B45 is on the corner and goes to Atlantic Center where you can shop at Pathmark and Target (among others). The B71 bus runs from the 2/3 subway at Eastern Pkwy down Union St, you can shop on 5th avenue from the B71 – there’s a bigger Key Food on 5th.
The fixture is not very nice. You got the space but the kitchen appliances and bath is just too simple.
Parking I heard is $30,000 per spot.

how is this nabe?
what sorta amenities(cafes/dry cleaners/food marts/shops) are within walking distance
also what train is nearby and how far is the walk to and from
is it safe overthere?
when listing says ‘available parking’ I take it to mean at costly monthly fee.
When/if I ever go this condo route, I want to own the space.
Pretty nice pad and decent location. Generous proportions, two baths, definitely seems priced fairly.
