TH Condos in "Brooklyn's Hottest Community"
The condo-i-zation of townhouses trend has extended to “Brooklyn’s hottest community” aka East Williamsburg, according to this listing. Prices range from $350,000 to $455,000 for apartments ranging in size from 585 to 1,300 square feet. Although lacking any old-world charm, we’ve certainly seen worse on the pages of Craigslist, which is where we dug this…

Although lacking any old-world charm, we’ve certainly seen worse on the pages of Craigslist, which is where we dug this one up. It looks like the developer stands to do quite well. If he can sell all seven apartments close to the asking price, he’s looking at grossing close the $3 million, way more than he could get for the building as a one- or two-family. It would be interesting to know if the sales are getting any traction. It’d also be interesting to see what the facade looks like. At least the broker provided floor plans though.

Actually, THANK YOU for wheeling out that it’s 4 blocks from the projects.
That indeed makes it a safety concern.
I need a WIDER buffer zone.
If Bushwick is lucky, and I mean REAL lucky, Bushwick will become the next Ditmas Park.
What is the future of Bushwick? Will it become the next Williamsburg? Are people getting pushed out further from Manhattan.
the good old “but it’s near the projects” argument is getting wheeled out i see…
I have been inside and like i said the pads are very nice…nothing special but nice…
According to the website for these about half seem to be under contract
If its west of Flushing its Williamsburg. Some people want everything east of the Grand Street campus to be Bushwick, but it isn’t.
i used to live there and i’d say its perhaps better (i.e. hipper) than it sued to be but safety is still a concern. Who wants to live 4 blocks from the very visible projects. Also heard this used to be an abandoned buildig which makes me how much effort they put into putting it together. These have been sitting on the market for a looooooooong time
Haven’t these been discussed on Brownstoner before? I live in the are and saw these buildings being renovated, the process didn’t impress me much. I love the neighborhood, but really, these are over-priced. Especially considering the fact that the renovation looked very shoddy. I haven’t been inside, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the reason they’re not selling is that when you get a closer look you can tell it’s all just a cheap papering -over of faults rather than a thorough reno.
Flushing Ave. is what divides Williamsburg and Bushwick and BedStuy, from the Navy Yard on the West to the Queens border to the east. East Williamsburg doesn’t mean much since no one can agree where it is. It is not used by any long-term residents. Of course, pretty much all of the area was originally part of the town of Bushwick.
this is nice building. white victorian with black trim. the apartments themselves are a bit cookie cutter but very nice. the area itself is definitely more of a wburg vibe vs. bushwick, which technically starts about 6 blocks away once you cross Flushing. Right around the corner from this building is a new development on bushwick ave that i attended an open house at last weekend. all rentals. 1400-1 bedrooms, 2100-2300- 2 bedrooms,
this building has a roofdeck with a STAGGERING view of the entire manhattan skyline….seriously amazing.
a bit too pricey maybe for the area but the blocks immediately around the Montrose L have improved greatly in the 3 years i have been there…..like night and day.
