Condo of the Day: 675 Sackett Street, #405

We don’t care much for the exterior of the building but the interior of this two-bedroom apartment looks quite nice. The private terrace is nothing to sniff at either. Since the building has only been around since 2004, the common charges are still quite low too.

The problems with the layout stem from there being only one exposure in an apt. that’s 37″ deep. It’s a nice southern exposure, but light can’t go thru walls or bend corners. Hence the impractically proportioned master bedroom. And that kitchen, though it looks great, is necessarily dark. Almost no natural light, that is. Ditto the bathrooms. Some people don’t need light as much as I do, though.
According to the “Encyclopedia of New York City” by Kenneth T. Jackson, Park Slope’s western boundary is Fourth Avenue.
I am a bit surprised, but there it is.

i like this area whether you call it park slope, gowanus, gowanus slope, gowanus heights…i like 5th avenue and the public schools in this area. although for this price, i think there need to be another few hundred square feet for another bedroom and a little office.
I don’t go quite as far back as petebkln but 20+ years ago it was definitely all Park Slope down to 4th Ave. And Gowanus was just a canal not a neighborhood.
Thanks LilBitofLuck and nonsense. i wasn’t sure if there was uncertainty to the amounts.
Glad I have room for three flatscreens *and* some artwork.
Geographically, T6 and PB are correct, 4th Ave (East Side) was always PS. However some of the old WASPS in PS would never live ‘below’ 7th Ave, or 6th Ave at the worst. 7th Ave was shopping for white folx, 5th Ave was shopping for Hispanics. When 5th Ave flipped over, it became much more fashionable to move down near 4th for younger newer arrivals.
I think 4/5 has definitely been stretched of late to be considered “Park Slope” but I also think there is a premium attached to being near the park, and the further you go from the Park (just like the further you go South), the less valuable the property.
It depends on who you ask. If you own between 4th & 5th Ave, it’s Park Slope but if you rent, it’s Gowanus.
