Co-op of the Day: 147 South Oxford Street, #3C
This two-bedroom at 147 South Oxford Street in Fort Greene looks like one of the better deals we’ve seen in a while. Even discounting the fact that the pre-war apartment has magazine-worthy stylings, the asking price of $525,000 for a real two-bedroom in an elevator building so close to the C train seems very reasonable…

Decide for yourself: There’s an open house tomorrow from 5 to 6:30.

That is exactly how it worked for me too Sam.
I don’t think 500,000 is too much for a starter apartment at all. Especially for a couple with two incomes. I assume a couple would buy a 2-bedroom, not a single. When the baby comes, they have the other bedroom and when another baby comes they move up to a house.
That’s the way it worked for me.
Won’t this be living in the shadow of Atlantic Yards someday?
I think it’s an attractive apartment, but it’s really more of a junior four than a true two bedroom…doesn’t the bedroom off the kitchen reek of converted “dining area.” But it could work as a two bedroom, if the small bedrooms work for people, and the price isn’t bad. That’s an interesting comment about whether now is the time for a “starter” apartment. I really have to think about that.
Isn’t $500K a lot for a starter apartment?
And, is a starter apartment really what you want to be buying in this market? It seems like anything you plan to sell in the next few years better be seriously cheap to be worthwhile right now.
nice starter apt. Once the banks settle down, they will get close to ask. Prob. $515 (As long as the building corporation is in good financial condition).
this is gonna get chopped 100k
decent amount of windows, though…
Wow, tiny bedrooms!
