Co-op of the Day: 60 Remsen Street
This alcove studio at 60 Remsen Street has had a nice tune-up since the owner bought it for $315,000 last October (the kitchen, in particular, looks beautiful) but the fact that it’s on the first floor and, after all, only a studio make the price jump in the intervening eight months to $465,000 a little…
This alcove studio at 60 Remsen Street has had a nice tune-up since the owner bought it for $315,000 last October (the kitchen, in particular, looks beautiful) but the fact that it’s on the first floor and, after all, only a studio make the price jump in the intervening eight months to $465,000 a little hard to swallow. While no square footage total is provided, as far as we can tell from the floorplan, this puts the asking price at close to $1,000 a foot. Is this realistic?

3:05 I love how are you are saying where people should live. I just moved to Boerum Hill/Cobble Hill and was looking at Brooklyn Heights for awhile and liked it alot just the maintenance was way too high on apartments. There is a reason why its the most expensive area in Brooklyn becasue of clean streets and the element in that area. I am so tired of people pumping up Park SLope, I think its nice but too far of a commute to the city I feel the best place to be with the most upside if a deal can be done is in the Boerum/Cobble/Carroll areas…
Maintenance charges for the nicer coop buildings in Brooklyn Heights is quite high. If you can’t afford the extra thousand or two a year, live somewhere else.
for 742 a month, i could hire a security guard to shadow me instead of pay this ridiculous amount.
2:17#1, good call. I wonder if the broker(s) of all those rapid fire listings posted are the same. If not, it’s like battling brokers on this thread today!
“neighborhood with lots of amenities”
well then they certainly won’t be looking at Brooklyn heights…
you can use this apartment for commercial purposes.
hmmm…I owned a 625 sf 1 bedroom in a co-op in midtown as of 3 years ago. Compeltely full service with roofdeck, concierge etc etc. My maintenance was $850. The maintenance here is outrageous. But the kitchen IS nice, although the track lighting sucks ass. Brownstoner hates high hats but is OK with track lighting? nice taste, brownstoner!
It’s not just singles who buy studios. There are lots of parents buying them for their kids, with a view to using it as a pied-a-terre later, or empty-nesters doing the same. They have loads of cash, and believe me, they’re not planning on taking the A-train into the city from Bed-Stuy. Get a clue – that’s who this price tag is aimed at.
