Co-op of the Day: 345 Montgomery Street, #3O
This co-op at 345 Montgomery Street in Crown Heights is a pretty generously-sized one-bedroom. It’s got lots of prewar charm and the kitchen and bathroom, while a far cry from fancy, are at least unoffensive in their monochromaticity and simplicity. Its monthly maintenance of $525 is also palatable. And while the location’s hardly A-plus, it…
This co-op at 345 Montgomery Street in Crown Heights is a pretty generously-sized one-bedroom. It’s got lots of prewar charm and the kitchen and bathroom, while a far cry from fancy, are at least unoffensive in their monochromaticity and simplicity. Its monthly maintenance of $525 is also palatable. And while the location’s hardly A-plus, it is pretty close to the subway and if this were Fort Greene or Brooklyn Heights the asking price wouldn’t be $179,000, so get over it.

Monochromaticity?
In a time of flat or declining prices, a place like doesn’t look like a good deal. The comment about renting in a better neighborhood is spot on. Sure, CHS is perfectly fine…but for a typical single buyer or young couple who works in Manhattan or downtown brooklyn, it might as well be Siberia. And if there’s a good chance you’ll be losing money, why live in Siberia while it’s happening?
Guys:
Can we refrain from dissing neighborhoods, that we do not know. South Crown Heights, like North Crown Heights have many pockets of charm. Back in the day, South Crown Heights was MUCH safer than North Crown Heights. South Crown Heights has always had the advantage of its proximity to the IRT. Within that area you might even access to the 2,3,4, Franklin Avenue shuttle and the B,Q trains.
Location, location, location.
I wouldn’t bet the farm on it, but I think PLG starts south of Empire.
oh, never mind… I see… gmap… doh.
So isn’t this PLG, kinda though?
Uh, which is the north side and which is the south side? There was a 2-bedroom in that building listed somewhere that I was admiring at some point.
Which side is the Children’s Museum on?
i’d scoop this up.
just need some dough.
i can totally picture myself roller skating in that lobby
*rob*
DH, think that place used to be a luxury hotel or something like that back then
