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. 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…
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.

I think the person quoting these rental prices doesn’t realize that when these places are listed on craigslist, half are fake and another 1/4th are scams. They have that one apartment for that price and the rest are 20% more.
Also, when you’re paying 15% brokers fee, it’s the same as paying an extra couple hundred bucks a month.
The last PS apartment we rented was 3K a month or so. With brokers fee, first and last months rent and security, we shelled out almost 10k BUCKS!!!
That’s almost a DOWN PAYMENT!!
Doesn’t matter what you think, 3:35. That’s how much it apparently rents for.
The market has spoken.
Not you.
3:29 – Maybe these are not the norm, but I do think there are a lot of variables, including season, school zone etc. I have tons of research too, and I honestly think 3600 for a 2BR in this location, even with outdoor space (since a roof deck is probably used mostly in summer) is high.
I’ve done tons of research. And what you speak of 3:25 are deals.
NOT the norm.
Wow…REALTORS are marketing between a major truck route and 5th Avenue as PRIME??!
HOW SHOCKING!!!!
Sorry honey. Between 4th and 5th is not prime in the real world.
Real Estate brokers say lots of things. I hope you don’t trust every word out of these people’s mouths…
Now I know why so many people are still Bush supporters…
My lord.
Wow, 3:24 actually sounds threatening – Brownstoner reaches a new low – someone with an axe to grind about maintaining myth of high prices everywhere delivers a weird slur/threat… Why would you say something like that?
3:!6pm- no, they were not shitholes. I personally did not like the new construction, but they were clean and bright, with everything spanking new, and nice common spaces. The prewar spaces were more charming in my opinion since i prefer prewar, and come on, 6th Ave bet 4/5 St *is* prime! I also found two 2BRs in a lovely limestone on 4th St bet 6/7 Ave – one 3400, one 3200 (less bright, on 2nd floor) – in perfect pre-war condition, with laundry in bldg and about 1000-1100 sf each. But don’t take my word for it – do some research people! And don’t believe who try to cow you into thinking that prices are “suspect”!
i think you don’t know what the heck you are talking about 3:19. that’s what i think. i think you are trying to stir up trouble.
Actually, I live between 4/5th and it’s very nice to be so near 5th Ave. Many realtors and buyers *are* marketing the blocks bet 4/5 (esp those zoned for 321) as prime PS – mainly due to emergence of 5th Ave as a retail/restaurant mecca.
