in the last month, defaults on CONDO fees have skyrocketed 24% in manhattan.
we are beginning to see the end of the popular condo and a reverse back to coops.
they are what saved the nyc housing market and i guarantee as these condo owners watch their investments turn into glorified dormitories, coops will once again prevail.
i would never live in a condo in nyc. all the ones i’ve been in, i’ve noticed that no one wants to take responsibility for upkeep of the building. as more and more people in those buildings tire of them and rent them out, the problem will become worse and worse.
By the time AY is “done,” the Brooklyn Rancheros of the American Association of National Basketball (AANB–it’s semi-fantastic!) will be playing in the 2000 seat gym built of double wides that Bruce Ratner throws up there right before he jumps off the top of the beautiful Atlantic Center.
Hey 5:09 the place 4:36 posted about isn’t anywhere near AY. Ever been to Brooklyn before?
Atlantic Yards!?! Everyone keeps saying those two words. Like the project will ever get completed as designed. Just like the Coney Island development getting modified, the same will happen to AY. Guaranteed to get downsized as the real estate market continues to soften in Bklyn.

saw this open house today
nice 3 bedroom
I did have a registered name before, dianabanana, and I agree it’s good to see who is commenting b/c I fear my posts (about the Park Slope condo on 8th) might have got confused with someone else who seemed a little too worked up in responding to the person I was having a dialogue with. However, it gets so catty here and individuals who use nametags get picked on. So I stopped using mine.
Yes, it is nice for the price. And it’s about 1400 square feet right? Plus Ft. Greene just keeps getting better and better. I will be interested to see how this pans out.
As a PS — I am really surprised no one uses nametags here except me. It would be nice to know how many individuals are commenting here.
Oh wait, I just noticed there’s no laundry in the Fort Greene unit. It’s in the building, shared. That’s a drag. Families don’t go for that. Hard to see where it could be added, except maybe open up the wall in the foyer and put the laundry in the WIC in the master BR.
I always understand when busy working people want a condo, not a brownstone. Owning a house is great but it’s been incredibly time-consuming this first year. We work from home so it was better for us, yet still it was a drain and affected our work. I couldn’t imagine trying to go to work and back each day and look after nutty contractors. I thought the Fort Greene combined apartment was nice for the price. Plus it sounds like they’d take $900,000 as from the sound of it they have a motivated seller. Maybe somebody who is being transferred, or sadly, a divorce.
