Co-op of the Day: 30 Ocean Parkway, #1F
Here’s a neat one. This three bedroom pad in the art deco building at 30 Ocean Parkway is actually like its own little house. The 1,700-square-foot apartment has its own entrance. Given what good shape the prewar apartment is in and its proximity to Prospect Park, we’d say this is looking like a pretty attractive…

“But my point was not to compare apples with oranges so much as to say that this place is an example of how the Brooklyn real estate market is not so different to many other popular cities in price point.”
You may be right. In fact, the similarities in the markets is an argument for those who think the NY market has a ways to go before bottoming. Is it reasonable to assume NY can escape the 40% plus plunge in home prices LA has suffered through (according to Case/Shiller) since the peak? I don’t know. There are arguments to be made on both sides. But an argument which points to other ridiculously priced markets-from an affordability standpoint-as a justification for this ridiculously priced market, is not compelling to me. Though I appreciate your attempt to bring some perspective to the constant wingeing on this site. 🙂
chicken, the 2 chinaman think a like.
external door in bedrm is convenient for what? oh yeah, comes in handy if spouse comes home at unexpected time and you’re cheating with someone else between the sheets – ie sneak the “evidence” out that door

Ching! Ching! Ching! My final box is ticked. Who do I make the cheque out to?
my windowsills have never been cleaned by me in over 7 yrs and they’re clean of black soot.
Get out the private entrance is in the bedroom. WOW.
I get a layer of black soot on my windowsills every couple weeks and I live on a leafy side street in Park Slope no where near a highway.
I think it’s called New York City air.
I believe 5F (also 3BR/2Bath) was sold for a bit less than this recently, and was in nicer condition. I cannot believe the private entrance has more value than being in a higher floor – particularly when the private entrance is from your bedroom (it kind of weirds me out to have a door to the street into your bedroom).
As to the building, a prvious post from last year:
“The reason I would never buy here, however, is that the building is flanked by the Prospect Expressway. While not terribly noisy, a layer of black soot would build up every 2 weeks or so on all of my windowsills (and my windows didn’t even FACE the expressway). It made me a bit uncomfortable to think of what I might have been breathing in on a daily basis.”
