Co-op of the Day: 24 Montgomery Place
We’re liking the looks of this one. The 900-square-foot two-bedroom at 24 Montgomery Place has the old world charm where it counts (floors, beams, windows, mantels) and some modern enhancements to the bathroom (not exactly our taste) and kitchen. The major gripe people will probably have with this place is the small, single-window second bedroom….

$650-$699-$720K for an apartment that is really a one bedroom divided! where frankly I would have the real size assessed…..I fail to see how that is a good price…especially in a market meltdown…
And because it is on a street where you can enroll in PS321? why have the brokers decided that they can charge a premium for living in a good public school district? Maybe that is why 321 is overcrowded and beginning to lose its historical edge….
The Brownstoner blog is losing its integrity as the brokers are losing their profits and can no longer sell bogus marketing to the public.
People throw around a lot of misinformation on this blog, and the $$ benefit of a school district like PS 321 or PS 29 gets distorted. First, private school tuition for the grades covered by these schools (K through 5) is less than $30K per year. Private school tuition can approach that for middle school + high school, but not for elementary school. Second, if your looking at public middle schools + high schools, you’re not going to be districted and you’re going to have to look outside of these nieghborhoods. There is a savings, but not as much as posters here often make it out to be. You might save a $100K in private school tution by buying into these neighborhoods, but you likely have to pay a least that much more for an apartment or house in the those neighborhoos.
no bidding war. unless you mean under-bidding war. $650 takes it. this market is changing fast…
Agreed. It is not a real two bedroom, and it looks like it is 800 sf tops. Pass.
I think it’s brokers and sellers posting about how “well-priced” this listing is, 10:06. It is a 1-BR, not a 2-BR.
Here’s what I don’t get from the wonderful Bstoner bloggers: you think that a 2 bdrm walk-up that is 900 sq ft w/ an “eh” renovation and a small, barely walk out balcony is EXCELLENT at 699K yet you ripped apart union st at 825 which was much larger and the PPW listing at 800 that had city views and was also larger and not a walk-up? If you do the math and know that the sellers are probably flexible and negotiable why is 699K such a great price and the others weren’t?
10:15 obviously did not attend PS321.
park slope small family with one kid = $30k a year saved on school… it’s 321 people get over your dumb assed selves for continuing to rent an apt and buy something for gods sake
brownstoner readers = one of two things, educated buyers or losers who still RENT and are so jealous all they can do is complain and wallow in their own…
this is two flights up, not 4!!!! i used to live in the building so take my word for it.
