Co-op of the Day: 56 Garden Place, #2
This attractive floor-through co-op at 56 Garden Place in Brooklyn Heights just hit the market asking $785,000. Despite the location and the fact that the apartment was recently renovated, this price would seem like a stretch for the small two-bedroom (especially given the $901 monthly maintenance) were it not for the large deck it boasts….

Think the outdoor space makes the asking price achievable?

well clearly you don’t know the heights that well – there are plenty of streets which are beautiful and quiet, not just two. even pierrepont, which can get some foot traffic bc of the promenade, is actually lovely and mostly quiet of traffic.
You know, Tybur, when millions of people want to live in a nice clean a
place with outdoor space, within 30 minutes of their workplace, it’s very difficult to put a reasonable price on real estate. We could move to Texas or Michigan and buy 7 lovely Victorian houses for the price of this small apartment. And yet here we are.
Nomi- could we afford to? 🙂 (full disclosure- I don’t have one, but did when I lived in BH.)
Yeah, I doubt any of us would give up a rent stabilized apt out of principle . . . .
bklyn14 makes good points about this particular street.
“a zillion people who don’t live in neighborhood or r free loaders(rent controlled, elderly u know who u r)”
Ok, bklyn14, I’ll bite. You must be one of those euthanize all those over 50 types. There ain’t much rent control in BH- rent stabilized maybe. YOu’ve got issues- I hope you fix them before you turn 50. Of course you probably don’t consider yourself a freeloader.
The deck is great, but this is a small apt. It’s under 600 feet.
I’m thoroughly disgusted by shit like this… SEVEN HUNDRED AND EIGHTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS… PLUS another nine hundred per month… for this place?
Why is “the market” even contemplating this property? The owner of this place should crash and burn. If this is the price point that is required (because of the absurd price they paid in the past), then they should be forced to go bankrupt. I’m not kidding.
Even the high 600s as someone suggests above is seriously retarded.
When will folks in this city figure it out? Why are people willing to even *entertain* these types of prices, never mind ponying up the cash (which, sadly, I’m sure will happen)
given the dimensions, this place only has about 600 sf. Even at 600k means $1000/sf. seems too much. as for the party deck, i’m sure your neighbors above loves the idea. i wouldn’t be surprised if there’re house rules limiting how many people you can have on the deck and at what times of the day.
