the PS condo only has 625 sq ft of liveable space..adding up the floorplan dimensions… the other 100 must be from the outside wall or common areas or broker rounding. 1 beds are relatively uncommon in the slope- that’s why the new 4th ave construction bldgs are mostly sold out of 1 beds.
if you add in the costs of fixing up the PS place, then you really aren’t at $500 per sq. ft.
to answer 12:43 – agree that location is important, but so is the size of the place. when we bought a condo, we started first with the size requirement, then price, then the place itself (more layout and quality of work and central air, rather than amenities), and then the location. after looking for forever, we really only found 1 place that had it all for us and bought it. we literally chose from a list of one option.
it’s a tough town.
the brooklyn heights place was really pretty. great location and drop-dead views. seems a very fair price to me.
Park slope place seems like a decent deal. That block isn’t prime, but close to everything and better located than some of the new condos along 4th Ave. Even better if it needs some work. Personally, I look for B or C properties in A locations. Park slope for Brooklyn is an A location. This property location is probably a A- but it sounds like the buyer saw the upside and got a good deal.
yeah, seeing that it’s between 4th and 5th on 9th street and that it needs some work, i’d say the price is fair. no bargain now that i see those pics.
it needs substantial work and is, by no means on one of the more beautiful blocks of park slope.
still a nice amount of space for someone, great access to trains, services and all that 5th ave has to offer…
theres another cocoran listing for the same place which has it sold and says it needs work. Still a decent deal.

Does this location rule over the amenities offered at the nearby condo developments?
I know different strokes for different folks.
But as a potential buyer, should I focus more on location and convenience, than new development with amenities.
even the brooklyn heights place doesn’t seem outrageous.
maint is high, but still…
i hate to only talk about park slope but I would but thats a great deal.
the williamsburg place seems like a decent sale as well.
this is the first day in awhile with listings I could actually afford and not feel like an idiot for buying.
