Co-op of the Day: 135 Hawthorne Street
This one-bedroom at 135 Hawthorne Street in Prospect Lefferts Gardens is large and, at $239,000, relatively affordable. It’s also got plenty of prewar charm to it–including the retro television set in the living room! The layout, complete with foyer and dining area, is also ideal.

it looks like a Smeg (http://www.smegusa.com/Catalogue/Fridges.aspx) although looks like too many letters.
I didn’t know that new ’50s style refrigerators like that were made. Does anyone know if there are stoves in a similar style? We’d love to replace the ugly range we bought in ’74 with a ’40s–’50’s style one.

“This spot is just a bit off the beaten track in Lefferts Manor”.
It’s actually a block south of Lefferts Manor, 50 Lefferts is a block north of the Manor. IMO they’re both pretty nice blocks and good buildings.
sure joe the bummer knows the nabe.
that’s why he’s quoting his buddy’s wife’s cousin’s cop boyfriend about it.
I am very familiar with this building and live in the nabe. Hawthorne does accept 10% down provided the buyer can get approved for it (Wells Fargo and HSBC are doing 90% financing again, so shouldn’t be a problem). There is a one bedroom for sale at 50 Lefferts priced at $235k with a mtc of $520. The Hawthorne building has done many capital improvements recently — new elevators, new laundry, facade and parapet work. The main difference between these two coops is Hawthorne doesn’t allow pets, 50 Lefferts does allow them. 50 Lefferts also has an attended lobby 4 pm – 1 am. Hawthorne doesn’t. I like the neighborhood and you can’t beat the Q/B trains and proximity to the Park!
Does this neighborhood have the same feel as a bit further south, along Caton and Linden? I walked around there a few weeks ago and felt like I’d been transported out of NYC. Something about the wide sidewalks, I think. I’m not sure. Crime matters, yes, but I’m also concerned about how much I like the area.
Just google comp stat by precinct. You can scientifically compare crime stats in each neighborhood.
don’t be a d-bag. I know the neighborhood. I’m not trying to insult anyone. I am just worried about people who think there is no issue with crime. that’s all.
@joe the bummer, you not only contradicted yourself, you made another dubious assumption about the neighborhood (i.e., it’s a “worse area”). If you don’t know the neighborhood, you should walk around (during the day, so you’re not scared).
