Co-op of the Day: 344 6th Avenue, #2
This floor-through brownstone co-op at 344 6th Avenue (between 4th and 5th Streets) is attractive but not a show-stopper. The bay windowed-living room is the nicest part of apartment; the kitchen is pretty blah and the bedrooms, while attractive, are on the narrow side. The sellers cost basis for this place is $610,000 from back…
This floor-through brownstone co-op at 344 6th Avenue (between 4th and 5th Streets) is attractive but not a show-stopper. The bay windowed-living room is the nicest part of apartment; the kitchen is pretty blah and the bedrooms, while attractive, are on the narrow side. The sellers cost basis for this place is $610,000 from back in ’05, so the current asking price of $665,000 is reasonable in that context (and the monthly maintenance of $520 is pretty low too). That said, we’ll be surprised if this one clears $600,000. We shall see.

I heard that Novo got zoned out of PS321.
Can anybody confirm?
Parkedslope: the 321 zone extends to the north side of 5th St. Both my kids are in school there, and I know this is the current southern boundary. The apt. may not look like much, but it is a 2-bed starter apt. with a little bit of vintage detail very close to 321, on a nice quiet block, albeit an avenue. Not saying if it’s over priced or by how much, but people shouldn’t be looking to 15th St. or PHts for comps – the Novo would be a more interesting comparison. What’s the price differential between a 321-zoned starter apt in a big ugly building on a big ugly avenue vs. a starter apt. in a smaller brownstone building on a much nicer avenue?
Parkedslope…
I just posted the link above with the map that very clearly shows this apartment in the PS. 321 School District.
Perhaps the map has changed is what you’re suggesting?
One would think Indieschools.org would keep it pretty up to date…
Denton & 11217 – I believe the PS321 zone extends only as far south as 3rd Street [with some jerrymandering – such as the inclusion of the Novo, for some bizarre reason]. Perhaps it’s changed since you lived there, Denton?
It is definitely 321. Like I said, my daughter attended when we were living there. It’s like a block and a half away.
I am surprised Corcoran is still in business, I thought they would have taken their overpriced garbage, changed the locks on the office doors and abandon ship.
excuse 11217, he is very busy looking for premium property in Buenos Aires and cannot post intelligently at this time
According to the “zone map” on Indieschools.org, this is most definitely in the PS321 zone…

Wouldn’t you rather have a 13-bed French chateau with it’s own library and moat for the same money? 😉
