Co-op of the Day: 130 St. Edwards Street
We’ve never posted anything about this cluster of co-ops at the corner of Myrtle and Ashland Place but this 1,100-square-foot three-bedroom at 130 St. Edwards Street seems like a good place to start.

We’ve never posted anything about this cluster of co-ops at the corner of Myrtle and Ashland Place but this 1,100-square-foot three-bedroom at 130 St. Edwards Street seems like a good place to start. The main drawback seems to be the low ceilings. Other than that, it looks in good shape. It’s not bound for the pages of Architectural Digest but that’s not the point. It’s a family-sized apartment with a low monthly maintenance of $785 with onsite parking available. The asking price is $539,000. What do you make of that?

This building is not near the projects it is nestled within them. On one side there are the projects, on the other the BQE and across the street is a city-run hospital. I’m sorry but this is a highly undesirable location for a private cooperative residence.
This address is less than a 2 minute walk to the Dekalb station, I pass this group of co-ops every day on my way home from work. Primary problem that I can see seems to be the lack of a decent grocery store nearby, the closest one is the PathMark at Atlantic Center.
This looks like an amazing opportunity for whoever is accepted by the (supposedly?) stubborn board. Where else would you find $450 sq/ft or less in this part of Brooklyn?
And Petebklyn – I’d agree with you, it’s definitely not very far at all to walk places from here…and if you have a bike, even easier.
middle of nowhere? it faces Ft Gr park alrdeady. Thats middle of nowhere. I sometimes think commentors must be so handicapped (and not just mentally) that couple blocks to plenty of transportation and services is somehow too much.
Are you all a bunch of overstuffed couch potatoes?
Or if can’t say something nice – just make up something stupid to say instead.
Right next to the Walt Whitman projects. Used to walk by them every day on the way to work (and drive by them every night on the way home). nfw would I live here. Just nfw. And no apologies to whoever keeps getting upset at me for not wanting to live near the projects.
Yes, people buying in transitional (?) areas can’t right now assume desired amenities are going to continue to appear. I guess that never should have been assumed, but seemed so inevitable a year ago.
that location was feasible when we assumed the condo’s and new retail was going to be built in that stretch of myrtle and nearby flatbush. With many of those projects slowing big, location is definitely so so.
How far of a walk is this to the Dekalb Q stop? And what is that hospital looking thing across the street on the map?
zinka hits the nail on the head.
