Co-op of the Day: 135 Eastern Parkway, #10C
None of the apartments that have turned over in Turner Towers in the past three years have topped the million-dollar mark. (a couple have gone in the mid-$900’s). Then again, we doubt any of them have been 2,800 square feet either. This three-bedroom, 10th-floor apartment, which is asking $1,700,000, was also recently renovated, so while…
None of the apartments that have turned over in Turner Towers in the past three years have topped the million-dollar mark. (a couple have gone in the mid-$900’s). Then again, we doubt any of them have been 2,800 square feet either. This three-bedroom, 10th-floor apartment, which is asking $1,700,000, was also recently renovated, so while the price tag looks high on an absolute basis it doesn’t seem crazy when you consider that it’s about $600 a foot for a pre-war apartment in move-in condition with killer views. Anyone in the building care to weigh in? Update: A reader just wrote in to let us know that Apartment 15I sold for $1,047,000 back in 2005. Are there other million-dollar sales that aren’t showing up on PropertyShark as well?
135 Eastern Parkway [Stribling] GMAP P*Shark
Surprise, folks. They got their $1.7 million after the first & only open house. I think it may have been a buyer from Manhattan (Stribling’s base) for whom that price still seemed like a bargain.
this price is a joke, for this building and location. look around at what else you can get for that money. clearly someone greedy, or a broker trying to pump the market. for this price you could get something great in prime park slope or BH.
There’s a big difference between 1.16 million (what another apartment in the line reportedly went for in 2005 – as posted above) and 1.7 million this is asking. A reno is worth a lot, but not that much.
Who pays money for pshark?
Single best party I went to in highschool was on the tenth floor of Turner Towers. Fall of ’87 (the same week STNG premiered).
Thanks, 10:07.
201 Eastern Parkway is the Adelphi, am I right?
This was one of my favorites, a Tudor-style pile with lots of wings and a garden front entered through a brick archway, correct?
You’ll enjoy this story.
As my brother and I took the drive I mentioned above, I recalled our mother looking at apartments on the parkway, including one at the Adelphi, but for the reasons I mentioned, deciding against them.
He actually sighed!
“Think of it,” he said, “right across the street from the Brooklyn Museum, the Botanical Garden, and Prospect Park! That would have been great! Was she crazy?”
“She was worried about all the traffic,” I said, “and thought the parkway was too lonely at night.”
“So what?!”
The man was upset! Here he is in his fifties, having traveled all over the world, with an apartment on Manhattan’s East Side and a house in the country, and still, he would have loved to live on Eastern Parkway!
You’re lucky, 10:07!

Thank you for that post, Nostalgic….
I live in 201 Eastern Parkway, but having grown up in Philly, have often wondered what EP was like back in the day. Your post brought it to life for me…..
Polemicist – This was not built as middle class housing. The larger apts have maid’s rooms and all apts have a servant’s entrance.
“It is unfortunate that in the modern era, we just don’t build new housing. All that happens is the wealthy buy more and more of what was constructed generations ago, and those at the top have no recourse but to move further and further away.” Why do you think there is no inventory in brownstones, but cheaply constructed condos are slashing prices – because of the greed of the developers who do not look to give good value or design and whose taste in the toilet. Just look at the some of the monstrosities that have graced this website and please don’t complain about people having enough sense not to throw their money away on trash.
“It is unfortunate that in the modern era, we just don’t build new housing.”
Yep, it’s a damn shame there just hasn’t been a lick of new housing built in the past few years.
