Co-op of the Day: Affordable on Beverley Road
Five blocks to the North of Monday’s House of the Day, this attractive one-bedroom looks like a great first apartment to us. With an asking price of $185,000 and a monthly maintenance of $532, we guessing pre-tax monthly costs of about $1,600; after-tax probably closer to $1,200 or $1,300. Not bad for a real one…

Not bad for a real one bedroom with a separate dining area in a pre-war building. How close is the nearest subway?

this again? Mary Kay was great for me to deal with as well as many others I know. Also, she generally represents the best offerings in the area. Sorry you had a bad experience.
Given who the broker is – mary kay gallagher – we’re all not surprised at how unpleasant she is to deal with and how she can’t be trusted.
she gave me a hard time when i was trying to buy in the area, and tried to make me and someone else i know intimidated by her as she professed to have a monopoly on the area.
i really don’t recommend dealing with her at all.
Broker states the unit is in contract, having been listed about four weeks ago.
Oh, well. Knew it was too good to be true.
Here’s a little write up on the main commercial stretch in this area – Cortelyou:

I stand corrected on the commute. I am remembering the commute from a few years ago when they were doing work on the D/Q line, which was when they invented the Q in the first place.
agree on the commute. The Q to 34th is nowhere near an hour. Closer to half that.
Granted Beverley Square East is the “roughest” of the Victorian Flatbush neighborhood, but it is nothing like living in East Flatbush, crime-wise. If you work downtown or around Union Square community is a cinch. I live very close to the Cortelyou Road station and when the train is running properly, I get out in Union Square 25 minutes later. My husband commutes to Grand Central, has to change at Union Square and is commute is more like 40 minutes.
Agree with CHP–this is not a horrible area at all, has a lot to recommend it, and, as another poster wrote, improving safety-wise all the time. (However, just to be a b@@ch–last week, some posters noted that the featured East Flatbush home was in a rough area and had their heads bitten off. The next day or so there was a major crime wave and several articles noting that crime has been on the rise in the neighborhood. Some posts may seem not nice but they’re still true.)
I vote yes I actually like it a lot and I love this area, its where I lived when I first moved to NY so its close to my heart. I think the price is right and the space is nice. the only problem is this is probably in a large building… I HATE living in buildings with tons of apartments.
