Co-op of the Day: 210 Congress Street
The 114-unit co-op at 210 Congress Street in Cobble Hill is pretty unremarkable as far as prewar buildings go, but it’s perfectly nice and in a lovely location. The scale of the windows and ceilings are a little blah, but we’re liking the layout of this two-bedroom. The asking price of $750,000, however, is definitely…
The 114-unit co-op at 210 Congress Street in Cobble Hill is pretty unremarkable as far as prewar buildings go, but it’s perfectly nice and in a lovely location. The scale of the windows and ceilings are a little blah, but we’re liking the layout of this two-bedroom. The asking price of $750,000, however, is definitely on the high side for the building. After all, only one apartment in the building has every sold for more than this amount. Think this one has a shot?

wait! wait! are park slopers telling us how much better it is there than here (anywhere else)? ah yes, they can’t keep their hands off a thread not about them
in a building that didn’t look like a jail.
right, in Bed Stuy or Billyburg,
No Thanx!
there are plenty of more practical apartments which aren’t so hideous.
i’d take something half this size in a building that didn’t look like a jail.
What it lacks in charm it makes up in practicality. At least it has an elevator you don’t have to shlep up your groceries and dry cleaning like so many vastly more expensive apartments featured here over the last couple of months.
Mmm. Park Slope.
To throw my two cents in, I’d much rather be in Park Slope.
Some people don’t seem to appreciate what having a park like Prospect right outside your door is worth.
But everyone has different tastes and desires.
Streeteasy shows that another 2BR/1 bath apartment sold in here in November last year for $780,000, which was $31,000 over ask. Seems in line with what they’re asking here.
And just to throw in my two cents, I think this is a way better location than Park Slope.
“The scale of the windows and ceilings are a little blah, but”
If by “a little blah” you mean “horrid,” then yes, I agree.
The ceilings look to be about 8 feet high; from the one pic with a window in it you can tell it’s one a low floor and gets no light; no kitchen pics but you can tell just from the floorplan that it will need replacing; the bathroom seems tiny; and the maintenance is on the high side given the size of the place.
Maybe $650k would move it.
