Co-op of the Day: 160 Columbia Heights
You had us at the view…This one-bedroom at 160 Columbia Heights has a unique perch overlooking the Brooklyn Heights Promenade; the building’s also got a very cool Art Deco awning. On the downside, the 750-square-foot apartment has a fairly onerous monthly maintenance of $1,207 (but, in fairness, it includes all utilities). The asking price is…

Do you think that’s achievable?

Grossly overpriced.
those sunken living rooms musta been quite fashionable for about 3 years of building. Look is great but for winos kinda dangerous.
I was in a bigger apt in this bldg once – I think a 2 bdroom with terrace. I was jealous.
BHeights, it is three blocks to the Clark St. 2/3 Station. A few more to the High Street A station. Neither of these are what most would consider a long walk.
RE taxes are really high for coops/condos now (unless there is an abatement — wait till those new ones get hit!). That said, elec for a 1 bedroom can run $90/month in the summer and $200+ in the summeer – that is included.
Real estate tax, underlying mortagages and building service personnel, especially unionized ones, will jack a maintenance way up. Brooklyn Heights building owners definitely have higher RE tax and this one, I think, has doormen.
Not having seen this place, I think it’s possible someone would pay near the asking price for it. The view and location are real wild cards (i.e. someone might just pony up for the view, in itself).
Would I pay this price? Not a chance.
the maintenance sucks.
Why is maintenance almost always so much higher than the rest of Brooklyn. I know the heights is upscale, but come on. There is a loft on Hicks that has a charge of over $2000. It’s crazy. It’s always such a mystery charge, I’d love to see line-item breakdowns of these maints.
A long walk? This building is two and a half blocks to the Clark St station. Ow, my legs.
