Co-op of the Day: 44 Prospect Park West
44 Prospect Park West, while not the fanciest apartment building on the park, still offers up a nice prewar vibe on the inside. This particular two-bedroom unit has some nice details but suffers from a slightly awkward layout, in our opinion. The owners, who paid just $650,000 for the two-bedroom pad in 2009, are looking…
44 Prospect Park West, while not the fanciest apartment building on the park, still offers up a nice prewar vibe on the inside. This particular two-bedroom unit has some nice details but suffers from a slightly awkward layout, in our opinion. The owners, who paid just $650,000 for the two-bedroom pad in 2009, are looking to make some money on this one by slapping an asking price of $825,000 on the new listing. There’s no square footage information provided so it’s hard to critique the price too much but we suspect the odds favor the selling price starting with a 7 rather than an 8.

@alwayzambitious: No, of course not. A lot of this is armchair quarterbacking. As for prices, well, this is New York, not Grand Rapids.
im just wondering.. are the people who read this blog rich? thats a lot of money… are u guys all doctors and lawyers here. im just trying to understand .. .the rich are moving in and can afford huge prices like the one above… help me out.
750k sounds reasonable — and 800k achievable. Here’s why:
This is one of the nicer layouts for a 2br/1ba (completely isolating the cooking and eating) I’ve seen. And you’re right on PP and in PS 321 zone.
As for rent…yes, $4,500 is probably about right for a roomy, renovated 2br on the Park, if you could even find one.
> the Vietnamese place opening up
Awesome! Thanks for the heads up, accidental or not.
> For an apartment like this, you’d expect to pay about
> 4500 a month in rent,
Sorry, but that’s batsh*t crazy.
Somebody will probably pay it, mind you, but it’s still batsh*t crazy.
meh.
I’d rather play ‘guess the profile’: in this case, 50’s, white, co-op member who thinks they know art/music but embarrasses self when bringing it up.
ilovebrooklyn — That’s exactly why I would expect 44 PPW to go for more than 125 PPW, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. I’m not that familiar with PS real estate, but I would pay more to live closer to the 2/3/B/Q and be in PS 321.
If I were going to spend $800-ish on a new place to live, I’d go for the House of the Day on Abermarle much sooner than I would this Coop of the Day.
movingonout — it’s about an 8-minute trek to the 2/3 subway from here (and not much farther to the B/Q). Not nearly far enough to outweigh one of the key price-boosting aspects of this property — it’s in core PS 321 territory.
