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…

I agree the higher-than-typical maintenance seems to be factored into the price already.
This building has a doorman, right? The salaries for the doormen, super, and other staff are surely a part of the reason for the high maintenance. The maintenance also pays: property taxes, heat & hot water, water & sewer, insurance, electricity for common areas, underlying mortgage (if there is one), and (of course) general maintenance. Those things ain’t cheap. Maintenance typically doesn’t rise every year, either, but I guess you never know.
And, yes, “unlimited potential” means more than kitchen needs work. Wonder what floors are like under that carpeting .. .
Still, tho, I don’t think the price is crazy.
Holy Cow.
Maintenance high. But doesn’t seem like asking price is too much. Actually seems like high maintenance was taken into account in the asking. And that the kitchen obviously could use work.
Too bad the southern exposure is largely wasted; would be nice to have it in the living areas. But, still all those exposures is pretty great. Like layout too.
The real estate taxes on this place are probably $15K/year. That’s why the maintenance is so high.
“unlimited potential” = fixer upper
So I’m supposed to pay $1.3 million for the privilege of renting this place for $2,800 a month? Think I’ll pass.
after staring at the supposed bargains in manhattan, this looks sweet – especially the 2.8k maintenance. was seeing 2-3k maintenance on many of the 900-1100 sq ft coops in manhattan – f’ing ridiculous. for the manhattanite who is desensitized to huge maintenance, this is an attractive alternative.
for us regular folks comparison shopping in BK, 2.8k maintenance on top of massive mortgage is something we can understand or accept
Kitchen pix? Probably because of the kitchen lay out.
Maintenance – ouch. that is about $800-$1000 more than I would pay for at that size.
how is $650/sq.ft. for a huge light-filled unit in arguably one of the best locations in one of the best bklyn neighborhoods a tough sell? it shouldn’t be a ‘lay up’ and they shouldnt be ‘giving it away’.
