Co-op of the Day: 164 Columbia Heights
It’s hard to walk along the Brooklyn Heights promenade without coveting the gardens and views of those townhouses lucky enough to look out over the water. This ground-floor two-bedroom co-op at 164 Columbia Heights may only be one floor but it’s got the garden. And what’s that worth? Hard to say exactly, but there’s probably…
It’s hard to walk along the Brooklyn Heights promenade without coveting the gardens and views of those townhouses lucky enough to look out over the water. This ground-floor two-bedroom co-op at 164 Columbia Heights may only be one floor but it’s got the garden. And what’s that worth? Hard to say exactly, but there’s probably about 1,100 square feet of interior space and the asking price on the apartment is $1,250,000. (The maintenance is $1,300 a month.) We bet they’ll get pretty close to that price.

6:24 – you nailed it. I was going to, having been there myself, but thought it was just too obvious.
Definitely factor-in the noise and air pollution from the BQE. I live on Remsen about half a block from the promenade and there’s all kinds of gunk in the air that settles on every horizontal surface… not just your typical NYC pollution.
1:46 – I’m guessing that you’re a 3rd year associate with $150k in debt from law school. The starting salary looks good until you find out the number of hours you work. You take home $10k a month or so after taxes. No way you can afford a $1mm mortgage and $1300 maintenance if you plan to eat. It seems only the partners lived in Brooklyn Heights. Had the same problem so I got out of law. Now I’m the client and those same old partners who used to grind me down work for me (though in truth the work I send flows down to some poor (relatively) sap like you who actually does the work. My advice, get out of law too. You will either make more money and buy that decent place whatever that may mean to you or you won’t make a ton of money but you will be happier with what you have. Otherwise you will be surrounded by too many people who seem to have it all and you wonder why you don’t.
“1:46 here –
Do people like 1:53 and 2:02 really get off on making sarcastic and mean anonymous comments on blogs? What’s the point of that?”
Clearly, you are new to this blog.
^^^ a park sloper wants an apt in Brooklyn Heights…made my day.
I WANT IT…!
I agree with 3:15; I prefer a garden backing onto another garden as opposed to one so close to the Promenade. If I was primarily going for the views, I would prefer an apartment on a higher floor(s) overlooking the water and Manhattan.
“the garden alone is worth 2000 psf at this location”
Only if it’s full of opium poppies.
yes, it’s a good chance you will be living around screaming kids. brooklyn heights is one big playground.
