Co-op of the Day: 1 Pierrepont Street
Co-op apartments don’t come much finer than this. This south-facing unit at 1 Pierrepont Street in Brooklyn Heights has four bedrooms, two fireplaces and killer Manhattan views from the common terrace. It looks to be in pristine condition (though we coulda used some photos of the kitchen and bathrooms) and on a fairly high floor….

The listing ain’t for the faint of pocket book however: The asking price is $3,450,000 and the monthly maintenance is $3,518. Anyone know what percentage down is required at this building?

For God’s sake – 1:43 – you are the one who is out of it if you think that there does not continue to be small but not insignificant swath of manhattanites who continue to think of brooklyn as a no-go zone. i grew up in this city, know a lot of people in the upper crusty world, and this is simply a reality. And frankly, those people go to all the downtown neighbs (you may have not noticed, but downtown is now MORE expensive than uptown) – they just don’t want to live in brooklyn period. I am not one of those people, having lived in various neighbs in brooklyn for 10 years.
amd 1:26 I am not saying that the heights is popular with most people who are lookiing in brooklyn ( I wouldn’t live there if you paid me) I am just saying there continues to be a minority of (wealthy) buyers who would not consider other brooklyn neighbs.
Jesus christ – brooklynites are so crazily defensive.
“goes to the argument of who would want to deal with over-zealous old bigots on the board?”
You do realize that the 80% carpeted rule appplies to most rental buildings as well, right, 1:54??
Yeah, I didn’t think so.
Ignorant, ignorant, ignorant.
Why are many Park Slopers so quick to jump on anyone who suggests certain people wouldn’t want to live there? I happen to like Park Slope very much, but I don’t get my knickers in a knot when people insult Brooklyn Heights and say they wouldn’t want to live there. To each his/her own.

Thank you, realtor, for your clear description of the flooring – again, this [term of the co-op agreement, specifically that some portion of the floor must be carpeted to abate noise issues] goes to the argument of who would want to deal with over-zealous old bigots on the board? Love Bhts, love the old apt. feel, but at what cost?
JUST FYI, 1:26.
I have a very close friend who is a broker who works primarily in Manhattan, but Brooklyn as well. She has said that time and time again in the past 3 years or so that one of the top three most sought after neighborhoods in NYC is Park Slope. And no, Brooklyn Heights was not one of the other two. Those were the West Village and Tribeca. Granted this is just one person’s perspective, but she is good at her job, not slimy and rakes it in.
the days of brooklyn not being attractive to manhattanites is over, 1:26.
the only people still adamently opposed to brooklyn are a certain set of upper east siders who think that the east village is like going into the depths of hell.
you are living in a really outdated version of nyc. most people are aware (whether they want to live there or not) that brooklyn has become the place where much of the interesting stuff is happening. if you are in the arts, brooklyn is IT.’
look at the brooklyn flea. i’ve never seen a group of more gorgeous people gathered in nyc at any one time.
re: wall to wall carpeting. it’s likely that the carpets, which certainly appear temporary in nature, are there to satisfy a term of the co-op agreement, specifically that some portion of the floor must be carpeted to abate noise issues.
“Finally, there are also lots of people out there who would not consider any brooklyn neighb but brooklyn heights – park slope is simply not a consideration for them.”
Yes, but most people thank god are not as snobby as you are.
TO DIE IN.
