Co-op of the Day: 430 Clinton Street
This 25-foot-wide floor-through co-op at 430 Clinton Street has three bedrooms and some nice old details to recommend it. (It’s also been stripped of original details in some places.) We’re not wild about the kitchen or the cheap-looking bi-fold closet doors either, but those are easily changed. The maintenance is pretty low too: $774 a…
This 25-foot-wide floor-through co-op at 430 Clinton Street has three bedrooms and some nice old details to recommend it. (It’s also been stripped of original details in some places.) We’re not wild about the kitchen or the cheap-looking bi-fold closet doors either, but those are easily changed. The maintenance is pretty low too: $774 a month. The asking price of $1,450,000 seems a little nutso though. After all, no square footage is provided in the listing, but it’s hard to see how this is more than 1,200 square feet, and could be as small as 1,000 square feet. Nice building and nice location and all, but come on. There’s mention of an open house on the listing but no time specified.

the reality most posters here have no clue about real estate at anything pass the $750k mark. They are outsiders looking in. Worse yet – many are renters or never owned in their life. So take the comments here with a grain of salt (ok a lot of salt).
The price may seem high to us, but it won’t get you much oceanfront property in Malibu.
3 bed rooms are rare and demand high prices. I would not be surprised if this gets close to ask.
The Gowanus is filling up with Arts Studios.
Many of these people would have once moved to Soho.
And yes…2:30….people in London and Paris DO in fact talk about this very subject all the time!! Perhaps not on a blog, but there is much concern…especially in London about the arts being pushed out of the city center.
Don’t travel much, do you?
Is this Carroll Gardens or Cobble Hill? The brownstoner post says Cobble Hill but I thought Carroll Street was Carroll Gardens. Does look like the place is 1400 sq. ft.
You know what’s funny, I posted that I had a condo for sale last Spring (378 Clinton Street – was condo of the day) and it was priced at $1.95 million. It was a duplex with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Almost everyone who commented on Brownstoner thought it was a total rip-off. Well, it sold for $2.1 million.
All I’m saying is I don’t think many of posters have any idea how hard it is to find something nice in New York City for a reasonable price.
Based on the fact that Manhattan is no longer a place for experimental arts. There is no place for it any longer with the skyhigh real estate prices.
Tonic, a long time venue for new music has succumbed to a condo development and CBGB has become a Varvatos Store. These are two examples of hundreds.
To foster new, young and upcoming talent, one must look in Brooklyn these days while such venues are still (barely) affordable.
Places like Southpaw and Galapagos and Union Hall…these places foster new talent.
And that’s only one niche of music. There are many other facets of the visual and performing arts that just can’t afford to be in Manhattan anymore.
The old standbys….New York Philharmonic, Met, MOMA etc are all of course still there, but the next wave of the new generation are mainly in Brooklyn these days.
The hottest exhibit in the art world right now is the Murakami…at the Brooklyn Museum.
BAM is doing some great things and a number of Dance Companies like Mark Morris are based in Brooklyn.
So much is going on here, it’s crazy.
New York maybe the cultural capital but that includes all of NYC.
Quit the manhattan vs. brooklyn competition already. So lame.
You don’t single out part of Paris or London like that.
Brooklyn over Manhattan?
Based on what criteria?
