Co-op of the Day: 457 3rd Street, #3R
This charming 3-bedroom in an eight-unit limestone co-op at 457 3rd Street in Park Slope just held its first open houses this weekend. Given the combination of original woodwork and clean renovation (not to mention the old PS 321 factor), we suspect there will be ample demand at the price of $999,000 from family buyers….

Both 6:58 and John Ife are right. That’s the problem. They’re both absolutely correct.
i agree completely, johnife.
doesn’t say much for someone who makes all those postulations, yet still lives in nyc (i’m assuming).
or maybe it’s one of those suburbanites that used to live in brooklyn but now lives in rockland county and keeps up with brownstoner “just to see how things are in the old hood”
6:58,
Your postulations are ALL wrong:
Why would it be desperation? People have a choice. They can choose a different neighborhood, even (though not necessarily)the burbs, as you suggest.
Why would choosing to add 3 hours to the useful day by obviating a horrendous commute and saving thousands a year by not owning a car be a “doctrinaire rejection” living in the burbs?
What evidence do you have that one’s kids would prefer to live in the burbs? Sure as hell wasn’t true of mine. The had friends outside of the City but generally were totally unenthusiastic about making trips out there to enjoy the “amenities” that you seem to be so sure are irresistible.
Settle for less by living in New York?! With all this city has to offer, no further comment needed!
Stupidity? Exactly the word that pops into my mind when I’m obliged to go to an out-of town meeting or event and see the hordes sitting in their cars in traffic jams, presumably every day.
most kids i know loathed growing up in the suburbs, btw.
i think we are now seeing the product of these kids that grew up bored to death, with zero attention spans and nearly no hobbies to speak of.
not sure why you think kids love staring at a tv screen so much all day or playing alone in the backyard as most do in the burbs.
when that’s all you’ve given them…sure…they’ll do it.
ask people in their 20’s and 30’s how much they liked growing up in the burbs.
it’s an easy question to ask, since most have since moved to cities all across the country.
go ahead…ask them.
all of the above.
I love Park Slope, but prices here have gotten way out of hand. Make no mistake, it is a long commute into the city unless you work way downtown. It’s a lovely area, but it’s not the only place in the world. It’s impossible to get your kids into private school in Brooklyn because demand is far too high, and ps 321 has 28 kids in the kindergarten classes, and 1 teacher. And I agree, $1 million to live in a 3rd floor, 1 bathroom walkup with no closets in the bedroom, and no decent middle school within striking distance, and this is considered a bargain by some people? come on.
The question of the day is why a family would consider a one-bathroom walk-up apartment in Broolyn for a million dollars.
This is a really interesting question.
Perhaps it is desperation?
Perhaps a doctrinaire rejection of living in the nice towns in the burbs (although the kids would way prefer it)?
or perhaps resignation that if you live in NYC you have to settle for less than any other American?
or is it just stupidity?
or is it all of the above?
“let some young buck haul them up the stairs”
Cue porno soundtrack…
There’s a coop on 2nd street, not nearly as nice and smaller asking $900,000, also on the third floor. 3rd street will sell, and I’d feel terrible if I were the owner of the one on 2nd, as this shows how overpriced that one is.
The fact that people ask why the maint is only $440 a month when it clearly states that it’s because the mortgage is paid off means one thing….
PEOPLE DON’T EVEN READ THE LISTINGS.
YOU JUST MAKE SHIT UP BASED ON YOUR OWN AGENDA.
