Co-op of the Day: Concord Village One Bedroom
At least this broker gets points for honesty! “APT NEEDS A GUT RENO,” blares the headline for the one bedroom at Concord Village in Downtown Brooklyn. Given the condition, the asking price of $359,000 for Apartment 12H may be a little optimistic; after all, 7H sold for $340,000 in 2006 and 6K sold for $365,000…

Then again, it’s only $4,000 more than the current owner paid back in 2005 and $54,000 less than this one-bedroom in the complex fetched in early 2007.

CV is a great value for your $ if you don’t mind living right along the bridges a bit too noisey but it works for me. I love my place. and for the record: that broker is anything but honest. he’s sort of a con artist so buyer beware.
Concord Village isn’t fancy by any stretch but it is a nice place to live. The apartments are a nice size (given what they are calling one bedrooms these days)with a nice layout. The grounds are well kept with parking on site (not much of that in Brooklyn anymore) and they are all doormen buildings and the coop is extremely well run with a good reserve. If you want to spend $1MM on a condo in Dumbo around the corner or a $2MM on a floor thru in BH across Cadman Plaza, go right ahead. I have friends there and visit them all the time and summer on the roof deck is worth checking out.
not sure who this apartment would appeal to.
I recently saw an apt advertised on local parents listserv that was a large 2 b/2b apartment with dining area etc for 550ish. I can see how that might appeal to families iwth young kids. but what couple or single would want to live here when they could find a smallish place a lot of places for 400k
guest 2:17, you’re able to send email to brownstoner directly. please do so and stop cluttering up every post with your complaint.
the same people who’d live in farragut if they emptied them out, cleaned them up, and made them condo.
mass-produced cheap?
I don’t think any more mass-produced or cheap as any other apt building of the period and probably better built than later periods.
It is the red brick and size of the buildings that are similar to ‘the projects’.
Many people want something that sez ‘I have arrived’ even on the outside look of their buildings.
The complex is well-kept, have doormen, some nice grounds, roof deck with great views. But is too middle-class looking for those playing the status seeking game.
(and I don’t live there but know people that do and have seen several apts from inside and are quite nice).
prewar charming it ain’t but the price & location might be right for the right buyer.
It might be that eastern block feel.
mass-produced cheap utilitarian rabbit-hutch nastiness.
These ARE projects, bar the actual tenants.
