Condo of the Day: 20 Bayard Street, Cuts and All
How are sales going at McCarren Park’s 20 Bayard Street? Well, it’s a little hard to tell. If you look on Douglas Elliman or StreetEasy, you’ll see mention of a total of 25 apartments, 17 of which are shown as being in contract. But if you look at DOB records (and use a little common…
How are sales going at McCarren Park’s 20 Bayard Street? Well, it’s a little hard to tell. If you look on Douglas Elliman or StreetEasy, you’ll see mention of a total of 25 apartments, 17 of which are shown as being in contract. But if you look at DOB records (and use a little common sense—the building’s 18 stories after all), you’ll realize that this represents only about 40 percent of the inventory. So while we prep for the inevitable next wave of listings to hit the market, an effort’s being made to move the existing seven units that have yet to sell. Which is why, for example, a 1,296-square-foot three-bedroom was just reduced from $1,175,000 to $1,050,000. Think it’ll move at that price? Anyone know when the next wave is coming?

I am a big Williamsburg fan. I grew up in Brooklyn and I am one of the few people on this site who seems to think all of this development and “gentrification” is a good thing. Williamsburg in particular has grown so much in the past 5 years. Restaurants, bars, boutiques, galleries, new people, etc. I think that is all pretty exciting.
I happen to not be a fan of this particular building. It just doesn’t appeal to my personal taste, but I’m guessing the view is great and its a cool location. So I could understand why people would want to be here. I personally would go for one of the buildings that will come up right on the waterfront at Kent. That whole stretch is going to be incredible within the next 3 – 5 years and that is truly exciting. It has been such an eyesore for such a long time. It’s about time people are starting to tap its potential.
I’ll tell you one thing, when AY is built, this piece of trash will be worth about as much as a munge-stain on your momma’s panties.
even on brownstoner, it’s categorized under both williamsburg and greenpoint….
20 Bayard is not the droid I’m looking for.
One more thing. During the time that I lived in a house on Bayard street we had our plumbing replaced. When we chopped down the old plumbing and took a look at it there was black calcinated sludge caked inside the pipe – it was hard black oily substance. The pipe was a large industrial sized pipe, probably about 1″ pipe, but there was so much gunk build-up on the pipe that the actual unobstructed pipe size was about 1/2″. I am positive that this was oil buildup. I don’t know if things have changed in the area or what but I would strongly advise anyone who lives there to only drink bottled water. Consuming oil is toxic.
I used to live on Bayard street and it is in Greenpoint. Get over it please. Also, that building is rediculously UGLY! And the park (where I used to run every day), is so busy now it’s like a mob scene after work hours and on week-ends. It also DOES have a dormatory feel, the whole strip of new condos on Bayard do. But I also must say, it might be nice to have a penthouse apt in that building, the problem is that I couldn’t live with myself for spending the silly amount of money it would take to live there. Brooklyn is filled with lots of far better places to buy.
