Co-op of the Day: 560 Dean Street, #3R
This three-bedroom apartment at 560 Dean Street in Park Slope hit the market last month with a price tag of $749,000. While the three bedrooms are all real bedrooms, one of them is super small.

This three-bedroom apartment at 560 Dean Street in Park Slope hit the market last month with a price tag of $749,000. While the three bedrooms are all real bedrooms, one of them is super small. Another qualifier: There’s only one bathroom for the entire apartment. That said, the co-op has lots of original detail and a generous living/dining area. On top of that, the monthly maintenance of $630 is quite low. Overall, it looks like an interesting option for a family with a couple of kids.

Rob – Try getting five people out the door all before 8 am with only one bathroom. No one wants to get up at 5 just to take a shower. I know you’ll have some snarky retort, but you clearly aren’t a mother of 3 lurking under a pseudonym. That comment would have outed you immediately.
I think a 2nd full bath is overrated and a dining area is underrated in apartments like these.
unless you have a family member with chronic diarhea, 1 bathroom in 1 apartment is not a big deal. in fact it’s better to have less bathrooms. why waste precious space for a room you take dumps in?

Threecee is correct. Faces the back of the Newswalk condos — the big building on Pacific that ISN’T being demolished. Nice building — I have friends who used to live there.
Who knows what the impact of AY will be on housing prices. It didn’t seem to hurt during the 2003-2007 period when the project looked like it was going ahead (community opposition — which I support — and lawsuits notwithstanding). It’s easy to have a “the sky if falling” attitude to AY but, realistically, construction is a constant of NYC life and property values generally don’t suffer. Frankly, the impact on local residents (noise, parking, litter, vandalism etc) is likely to be worse than the impact on prices.
“….looks like an interesting option for a family with a couple of kids.”
Assuming that family has private school funds or is very lucky with the public school lottery, that is. District 13 options are pretty thin on the ground.
This is definitely Prospect Heights, on my block. It will not be directly across from Atlantic Yards, but is southwest of the intersection of Dean & Carlton where one of the sixteen AY towers is planned.
Until that tower is built (if ever), the entire block bounded by Dean, Carlton, Pacific and Vanderbilt will be a “temporary surface parking lot” with a capacity of about 1000+ cars, and Dean Street will be a major route for peds/cars to/from the arena a block away at Dean & 6th.
1) I don’t think this faces any of the construction directly but faces whatever that big Boymelgreen condo bldg.
2) No property will have construction across for 25 years.
The whole project may take that long but the whole project extends for blocks. Much of it bit far away.
Lot of it bordering Fort Greene. (the covering of yards themselves).
I used to live in that unit a decade ago – I sublet it from the previous owner. Great apartment in a great little building (self-managed coop). Actually, we had 4 adults living in that apt and had plenty of space. That doesn’t change the stadium going up across the street, though.
Question: Does Bill Sheppard pay money to keep getting his listings featured?
Just curious.
