Co-op of the Day: 115 Eastern Parkway
Although this duplex at 115 Eastern Parkway doesn’t feel particularly old-school, the apartment is atop a lovely prewar building overlooking the Brooklyn Museum.

Although this duplex at 115 Eastern Parkway doesn’t feel particularly old-school, the apartment is atop a lovely prewar building overlooking the Brooklyn Museum. The most eye-catching element of the place is a large roofdeck—unfortunately, it’s off one of the two bedrooms on the bedroom floor not the living floor. Not surprisingly, there’s a ton of windows and natural light. It’ll be interesting to see how the $799,000 asking price and $1,121 go over with buyers. Guess it depends on what kind of a dollar value you put on the outdoor space.

people obviously dont even try to find deals when looking for apartments to rent. Its not that hard.
but its your money so whatevs.
i’m gay and single and live on 7th ave. as is my roommate and my upstairs neighbor. out of 16 of us in the building, two are married, one has a gf and the rest are single. some people paint very interesting pictures of things they know nothing about.
I am a landlord with a building of 4 two bedrooms in north Park Slope.
Each floor through rents for between 3000 and 3500.
No one has outdoor space. Granted the neighborhood is a little better.
I don’t think 3500 or thereabouts sounds unreasonable for this place.
PPW is 2 blocks from 7th avenue. That’s HELL??
Uh, ok.
And 4:08. You post that same comment every week at least 5 times. We all know it’s you becuase you say “list” instead of thread.
Maybe it’s a British thing, I don’t know. But you are such a pest.
I looked at a place similar to this but not a duplex and with no deck on prospect pl between carlton and vandy and it was $2295. It was on the 4th floor of a walk up building with around 16 apartments and it was nice. I ended up renting a 3 bedroom on St Marks and Flatbush ave for $3200 that had 3 bedrooms and a den. One of the bed rooms is about 30ft by 15ft and theres a living room around the same size and a large eat in kitchen. This place listed is not going for 3800. If someone rented it for that they were not looking and are mildly retarded.
Also 5th ave is prime Park Slope when you want Bars and resturants. 7th ave is prime if you have kids and your married. Living of PPW is hell if you dont have your own personal driver. Walking to 7th ave and 5th is no fun.
3:51 – Look, I’ve owned for many years, and am transitioning now to a rental (for school zone reasons) but plan to buy again soon. But I’m not naive about rentals, and your implication that the listings I’m talking about are scams is just not true. I really get the sense that there are people on this list who try to scare newbies reading that rents are crazy, but the reality is that rents these days are often more economical than buying, That does not mean you should not buy (in the long run, buying will probably be better, especially if you buy a place you can live in lifelong), but that you should be careful about the price point in this uncertain market. I’m planning to buy again in the next year or so, but I have noticed that sellers really are more negotiaable and I personally think it’s worth it to spend $40K in rent for a year if it means I may save $100-200K on a property when I buy (and since we are in the market for a house, not an apt, the price chops may be bigger – look at today’s HOTD which just got a 500K price chop!!).
I’m also not saying there aren’t scams out there – I suppose there are (though in my extensive research, I did not find any). But I think those on this list who so vociferously denounce the possibility that my good deals could be real smack of the kind of desperate folks who don’t want to believe that the market can ever soften or go down! Please let people make up their own minds and do their own research – I’m just saying that I did search Craigs List extensively, worked with brokers, and looked at many apartments, and yes, while there was the occasional dump, there were many that were reasonable and that was in the height of spring fever and in PS321, and everyone told me (and I noticed in my research) that prices would be better outside of 321 and in the fall/winter/later in summer…
like the place, but if my math is correct (someone less sleepy than me right now can dbl.ck), i get 671 sq.ft. just from the rooms with dimensions listed. perhaps another 200 sq.ft. for the rest of the spaces? if thats ballpark, then thats 917/sq.ft. reasonable?

3:43 – you know what? The market has spoken in favor of sellers/owners for years, but it’s starting to speak in favor of buyers! Markets, like people, change!
