New Condos on Coney Island Avenue
Since Thursday in condo day around here, we thought we’d put up this condo development on Coney Island Avenue across from the Parade Grounds.

Since Thursday in condo day around here, we thought we’d put up this condo development on Coney Island Avenue across from the Parade Grounds. This was the last photo we took on our way back from our tour of Victorian Flatbush last weekend. From the info on Property Shark, we’re guessing this development will be known as Coney on the Park. One thing’s for sure: The views will be great from these places. GMAP P*Shark
Agree with David in NY. Also, there will be so much, and such dense, building in the immediate area of this development in the next 2-3 years that buying now gives you no idea of what you are actually going to be living with. Despite nearness of park, you’re right on CIA and it’s loud and charmless. This area is not as convenient to subway as most people here are accustomed to, and it’s a neighborhood of people who cook their own supper or, for a break, head to McD’s. Doubt fancy restaurants are headed here.
Anonymous — It’s a long way across to the Parkside stop — over 10 blocks. The back end of the Church Ave. stop on Caton might be a mite closer. But’s it’s 1/2 a mile anyway. OK if you’re after exercise but not great if you’re running late to work.
By the way, I’ve lived generally in this area for 24 years this May. There are actually fewer places to eat than there once were, but there have never been many. I’m betting the bubble is gonna burst before any move in. And against this background, Picket Fence is absolutely great.
Regarding a train. you could walk to the parkside ave stop (corner ocean ave, on other side of the park) on the Q line. If you cross coney island ave and walk down parkside ave where the tennis courts are you will hit it. It’s a bit of a walk but not too far. I also think that in a short while there will be other developments here and more retail will probably develop. Nothing around before probably because people in the neighborhood would drive to where they needed to go.
LOL! Did you ever think of writing or comedy? YAWN
You can always walk down to Cortelyou and wait for a table at Picket Fence. Many think it has good food.
Yes- more restaurants, please. It would be nice if the One-Stop Market stayed open later too. Some people have jobs that keep them from shopping at 4:30 in the afternoon…
Your right about the subway stop – it is a block or two away but not bad and close. Also – the express bus to Manhattan is very close.
Whoever said “on a subway line” is nearly correct. First, it’s the F. Then, I think, the stop is a little hard to get to — maybe across the Prospect? The equivalent of a few blocks, across the circle and maybe by footbridge accross the Prospect. Anybody know that stop — Fort Hamilton on the F, I think.
Well, two bedrooms from $485,000 to
$785,000, and two three bedrooms for more, it looks like. Fair prices or not?
