Condo of the Day: 409 3rd Street
Third Street in Park Slope, with its width and grand houses, is certainly an impressive stretch. That doesn’t mean, however, that an attractive, but far from spectacular, floor-through apartment will be able to fetch $1,000 a foot. The second-floor apartment at 409 3rd Street, which is asking $1,199,000, has some nice prewar charm, to be…
Third Street in Park Slope, with its width and grand houses, is certainly an impressive stretch. That doesn’t mean, however, that an attractive, but far from spectacular, floor-through apartment will be able to fetch $1,000 a foot. The second-floor apartment at 409 3rd Street, which is asking $1,199,000, has some nice prewar charm, to be sure, but the bathroom and kitchen are definitely a little tired and the layout feels like a cluttered maze of little rooms to us. The broker’s use of gross square footage to hype the place rubs us the wrong way as well. (He states a gross square footage of 1,337; PropertyShark uses the figure of 1,098. After all, you can’t sleep in the common hallway!) We think they’ll be lucky to get $1,050,000.

“there are other condos being built besides novo and crest – and many of quality.”
Name one – just one – of quality in Park Slope.
hey idiots – there are other condos being built besides novo and crest – and many of quality. you people are so ridiculous.
this type of building is hideous and always will be….
chiles and chocolate on 7th is great and usually packed. it was on monday night. granted it seats about 20.
la taqueria gets a nice crowd as does moim on 7th and garfield.
it’s improving a little bit.
The Park Slope police blotters are the scariest. I always read them.
For all the restaurants paying astronomical rents who need to stay in business on 7th Ave, 12:41, it better not be normal to be deserted at 7pm. But it’s true, 5th Ave is the place to go if you’re looking for more activity at dinnertime.
I never read the police blotter but today I did, and there were 6 muggings in Park Slope last week! One at gunpoint. Dang.
since when was 7th avenue famed?
maybe 15 years ago.
the fame was in your head, bud.
try 5th avenue next time.
and you will indeed find most streets in the middle of janaury deserted at 7pm on a tuesday.
So I walked down the famed 7th Avenue the other day, for the first time, and I was very disappointed. There was not much going on. It was very suburban-like. And pretty deserted for 7pm.
Yeah, but I didn’t say it was unique to Park Slope, 11:33. Not at all.
Park Slopers on the defense!
Everywhere in NYC had become that 25 years ago, 11:20.
Harlem, Upper West Side, Hells Kitchen, Lower East Side, East Village, the list goes on.
You’re right about Park Slope, but it’s downturn during that time was not unique to that neighborhood.
