Co-op of the Day: 280 Prospect Park West
The address of this two-bedroom walk-up at 280 Prospect Park West sounded a lot better before we realized it was more than four full blocks from the actual park. What’s more, the place can’t be more than about 600 square feet. Still, we can’t think of a whole lot of two bedrooms in the area…
The address of this two-bedroom walk-up at 280 Prospect Park West sounded a lot better before we realized it was more than four full blocks from the actual park. What’s more, the place can’t be more than about 600 square feet. Still, we can’t think of a whole lot of two bedrooms in the area for less than the asking price of $450,000. As for comps, all we know is that an apartment on the third floor—which may or may not be of similar size and quality—sold back in 2005 for $420,000. How do you think this stacks up against yesterday’s co-op on Lincoln Place?

All of Prospect Park West used to be called 9th Avenue. The part after the park (beyond Pritchard Square/15th street) was renamed as well, which seems justifiable and less confusing since it is still part of the same street that runs next to the park.
I’ve noticed some people in the neighborhood still call this 9th Ave.
1:13 — so, you would count businesses on the West Side of PPW as the Slope and those across the street as WT? Since this is WT’s main business drag, it’s sort of hard to argue, from my perspective, for your position. But here I find myself falling into the senseless neighborhood-boundary hair-splitting for which this site is famous….
It’s not a bad area- that building isn’t great, but propsect park west past the park has nice bakeries, restaurants, etc… more like Brooklyn than like New Brooklyn.
Windsor Slope? Park Terrace?
12:52, its really right on the border of each.
I’ve heard reasonable people say the southern border of South Slope is the Prospect Expressway, others say Prospect Avenue, and others say 15th Street. But the West/East border of Park Slope/Windsor Terrace (for those like me who think South Slope goes below 15th Street) is median line on Prospect Park West.
If it’s under half a million, apparently Corcoran is too lazy to bother with interior photos.
No interiors? What’s up with that?
Is this classified as South Slope or Windsor Terrace?
I had thought the latter…
I did not know that Prospect Park West extended beyond the actual Park this far. That’s ridiculous. It is like having Central Park West extening to midtown. Except this isn’t midtwonit is nowheresville.
I could not live in a building quite this unattractive.
It has “out on bail” kind of written all over it.
