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.

P.S. 2:55/3:06 again – the 2BR on 3rd St/8th Ave had a lease that started just last September, so the $3000 rent is a recent number (I know some people have deals who have been renting the same place for years, but that’s not the case with the apts I’m talking about). Anyway, I’m impressed that someone can get $3600 for a smallish 2BR apt in the area – more power to you. But really, one can find better deals, and since this location is not in a good school zone, it probably knocks out families with a young kid starting school – unless they are planning for private school, but if they have that kind of money, why would they buy this smallish apt?
3:06, nothing about any street between 4th and 5th is prime slope.
those numbers you gave are suspect, to say the least.
must have been some real shitholes.
I own a place in a building next door to here and rent it out currently for 3600. It does not have a roof deck, but is similar to this apartment in size.
2:55 here – Regarding where these rental prices are – The building on President Street betweeen 4/5 Ave had (last month, maybe still available?) a number of 2 BR’s for 2800. I also found a 3BR prewar apt on 6th Ave bet 4/5 with storage and washer/dryer for 3200 and only 1 month’s broker fee. And those are just in 321 (which charges a premium). Once I started looking a bit outside of 321, there were more deals to be had. Troll Craigs List or call brokers and I promise you can find the same (also you can get better deals in the fall – these prices I’m quoting are in prime spring season which is always more expensive). A friend of mine rents a 2BR on 3rd and 8th Ave (nice, elevator bldg) for 3,000. So I really am talking prime PS!
“This place rents for $3800 a month.”
At least. If I hadn’t recently started shopping for a rental, I’d beg to differ.
I’d love to know where the 2 bedrooms in PS are for 2800!!
By PS, do you mean 26th Street and 4th??
Too bad it overlooks Lincoln Pl. I used to live on this block of Eastern Parkway. It’s a great location, but Lincoln Pl is full of thugs and guns. That said, a 100K discount should be in order. Also, the maintenance is a little out of hand to say the least. Otherwise, absolutely beautiful!
I don’t know – I recently was looking into PS area rentals and it seems there’s a decent amount of 2 BRs in the 3000-3500 range, many in better locations and some with amenities such as W/D in apt or outdoor space. I was also shown quite a few new construction 2BRs that were only asking 2800. I certainly don’t find rents cheap, but there are also deals to be had. This apt feels kind of narrow to me, and smallish overall – how are people figuring the square footage?
Aw shucks, 2:23. (((blushing)))
