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.

That lobby is pimpish.
Montrose, that’s the south side – completely different and inferior to our North side. People, if you want to live in Crown Heights, the North Side (North of Eastern Parkway) is where you should be looking. Not saying the south side is bad but the north side is just that much nicer and prices are pretty comparable
plus id rather rent in a nice neighborhood than own an iffy neighborhood (nothing against crown heights btw).

a little of both nomi. i mean i guess it’s affordable for most people in a dual income relationship. meh i dont know, clearly im so beyond ghetto at this stage to ever hope to own anyway.

Rob, do you mean “affordable” as in the conventional (though problematic) definition of 30% of an area’s median gross income? If so, then there is very little non-subsidized “affordable” housing in New York.
But how about the more casual “affordable to ME”? Isn’t that what most of us care about?
That reminds of some graffiti I saw on the construction fence of an abandoned site on 4th Avenue last night:
“Coming soon: Affordable housing for rich people.”
quote:
“affordable”
it’s not affordable. but at least it’s not outrageously overpriced.

too late – I’ve already offered 185k…
I wonder if Tybur is checking this thread, this is a great affordable 1br apartment. It reminds me of my first apt in San Francisco, nice proportions.
