Co-op of the Day: 27 Prospect Park West
This co-op at 27 Prospect Park West in Park Slope is quite a pad: 2,000 square feet of beamed ceilings, wood floors and park views. But they’re definitely not giving it away: The price tag of $1,300,000 is hardly a lay-up in this market, especially given the onerous monthly maintenance of $2,799. Sure is nice…

Thanks 11217, you beat me to it.
Sam,
The maintenance is not comparable in the slightest. It’s comparing apples to oranges. The buyer of a brownstone condo is not going to be the same as someone interested in a full service building with all the bells and whistles on Prospect Park West.
I’d choose the “crammed units” any day over this, even though I can see the merits of this place. Perhaps for a couple of empty nesters moving back from Long Island.
The price for this magnificent apartment is comparable to what they are asking for the little, crammed units in the chopped-up house at 90 First Place.
High place prices piss people off? Hardly.
it’s a value proposition.
if you’re happy paying 3K a month for “fluff” and white glove service, more power to you. Not my style personally. I think it’s a colossal waste of money.
A 1.3 million dollar place is fine by me, but I’m not paying nearly 700 bucks a square foot PLUS 35K a year in maintenance/taxes for it. I’d rather put that capital to work by purchasing less service and more apartment in the same neighborhood.
nomi…jealousy…every person that is priced out of this hood and rationalizes living in bed stuy – hoping everyday it becomes park slope…keep dreaming…
Why do these high end places piss some people off so much?
Oh, and the salmon colored wall-to-wall carpeting in the bedroom is super sweet.
So, 2 total interior photos are all they can do for a 2,000 SF apartment? Es muy insulting, no?
If by “high” with $3,000 in maintenance, you mean “a sinkhole-esque waste of your capital that should reduce square footage to 30% below an overall 20% below current market price comps”, then yes, I agree.
That’s unless you get to set up your den in the luxurious lobby and the doormen double as personal shopping assistants and the maintenance crew double as nannies.
A nicer apartment could not be imagined. Truly. But the price and the maintenance just point up how much more expensive it is to live in an apartment than a brownstone in Brooklyn.
Also, it’s worth noting that the building has not only doormen but also elevator men.
