Co-op of the Day: 360 Clinton Avenue
After nine weeks on the market, this one-bedroom at 360 Clinton Avenue in Clinton was just reduced a modest $20,000 to an asking price of $370,000. We suspect the ultimate selling price will be closer to $350,000 if not a bit below, but the seller clearly put some effort into renovating the place so it’ll…
After nine weeks on the market, this one-bedroom at 360 Clinton Avenue in Clinton was just reduced a modest $20,000 to an asking price of $370,000. We suspect the ultimate selling price will be closer to $350,000 if not a bit below, but the seller clearly put some effort into renovating the place so it’ll be hard to let go. (The apartment directly upstairs changed hands for $275,000 in 2004 but who knows what kind of shape it was in.) Speaking of renovating, any thoughts on how this one turned out? In this case, we actually like the exposed brick. Any wild guesses about the two things we don’t particularly care for (other than the painful “Clinton Hills” reference)?

I bought in this building recently and popped into the open house a couple weeks ago just to see how other people in the building had handled a renovation… I’d seen the floorplan online and knew the apartment was smaller than mine, but i was surprised by how open it felt (my kitchen is separated from the living area so perhaps i was just jealous by comparison). i really liked the contrast of the white painted brick wall in the living room and the dark stained oak floors — it felt very modern on top of the great pre-war details (parquetry in the LR floor, 10″ base boards, picture rails in all the rooms?).
I have many friends that live in this building (I live two doors down from it.) It is a very nice building, and the neighbours are very nice. They are currently wrapping up a huge re-bricking of sections of the building. In spite of the walking into your kitchen I think these apartments are lovely. The maintenance fee is higher because of the recent work, but overall I would have to say that it is a great building. I wish we would’ve had the money to buy into this place years ago.
I used to live at 360 clinton and left a year ago to buy a brownstone (thanks to this site, I had a much better idea of what I was doing/getting myself into — so thanks for that). I watched the neighborhood change (for better and for worse), but the building was also great to come home to. It is safe, the super is there and if you are nice to him he will do little things here and there for you. The one-bedrooms range in size depending on which line you are on. I was on a line where the apartment was about 800 sq. ft. There are other lines where one-bedrooms are more like 650 sq ft. At any rate, I sold my coop myself (i.e. FSBO) at around the range they are asking here. Then a year later, I saw that the apartmnt below mine went for something like $450K — WTF? The owner had it for about a year, so I was kind of stunned (it sold the previous year for $375K). The long and the short of it is, I loved this building. It has everything you need (right, no w/d in individual apartments due to old pipes), and the place is solid. If I ever need to go back into the coop world, I’d head right back to 360. Of course, I’d go for one with two bathrooms, but that’s because my brownstone has spoiled me. Good luck with this sale.
I live really close to this, lovely apartment buildings on Clinton Ave, I wish I’d known about a 2K rental here. This looks like a better deal to me than co-op village because the architecture’s a bit less foreboding and it’s closer to the C-train and stores on Fulton. (Not, I realize, that stores on Fulton are all that great, but they are convenient.)
its purdy.
I actually know the couple that owns this unit…and I have to say its been cozy and welcoming every time I’ve been there. I wish them luck!
PS – hard to believe its only 580-600 sq ft. It feels bigger than my 1BR, which is about 725 SqFt.
2:23 pm: Where did you see/hear about the 2,000 2br rental?
I live in this building and I LOVE it. The neighbors are friendly, the pre-war apartments are big, with nice details, lots of tall windows and the area is quiet. I take the G to the A at Hoyt and arrive at W 4th quickly, or I walk to the Lafayette stop on the C – very close at Greene St., you can also take the C at Clinton Washington which is closer.
Specifically about the apartment. You walk in the door and then immediately through the kitchen. Not!
