Co-op of the Day: 47 Plaza Street West, #11B
This new listing at 47 Plaza Street West isn’t quite as huge or swanky as its 11th-floor neighbor (which appears to have sold very recently) but the two-bedroom, two-bath co-op is impressive nonetheless. The apartment has all the prewar touches that you’d expect from a Candela building. Probably the only nit we can come up…

This new listing at 47 Plaza Street West isn’t quite as huge or swanky as its 11th-floor neighbor (which appears to have sold very recently) but the two-bedroom, two-bath co-op is impressive nonetheless. The apartment has all the prewar touches that you’d expect from a Candela building. Probably the only nit we can come up with is that the second bedroom is on the small side (though you could close off the dining room and solve that problem). At $1,768, the maintenance isn’t low, but then again it’s a full-service building. The asking price is an even $1,000,000. Think it’ll fly? (Note: We’re removing the Pricing Widget until we can get a more sophisticated version built with predictive measures other than the average price, which 99 out of a 100 times dramatically understates the ultimate sales price.)

I hope it goes for $1 million b/c it is very similar in size and other stats as our apartment in BH (which we paid a lot less than $1 million for).

You moving into Park Slope and paying the rent that you do automatically disqualifies you as a de-gentrifier, Rob.
Rob, you’re not doing enough damage for your cause – ie you pick up after your dog, you dont curse or rob people on the streets, you clean up graffiti that wasnt even your doing,…. you need to start drinking your 40’s at the stoop of the fancier houses in your hood, scratch some car paint,…
true etson, true. i just wish more people did like me and stepped up to the bat at trying their hands at reverse gentrification. i feel like a one man army in park slope!

Yes, m4l, as long as we tax capital at punitive rates as well . Then I’d say we have a perfect solution!
Apparently most people on Brownstoner are communists, judging by this conversation. 🙂
I understand the point, Rob. But any kind of a resolution implies some central authority saying who can and cannot live in a particular location, or what is the right mix of people for a particular neighborhood.
If, as you say, it’s not sustainable (that word again), then it will reverse of its own accord anyway. So no need to worry.
Rob, better stock up on the ramen supplies NOW before the richie rich saturate your area and replace the ramen with pricey udon, buckwheat noodles,….
