Checking In On The Crest
When we wrote about The Crest a year ago, all but eight of the 4th Avenue development’s 69 units were in contract; today five units are still available (though we’re told that two of those have deals in the works) ranging in price from $529,000 for a 798-square-foot one-bedroom to $751,000 for a 833-square-foot two-bedroom…

Regardless, the dynamic duo of Boymelgreen and Katan have to consider themselves lucky to have sold most of the units when they did.

It is ugly. How do you clean the windows from the outside, most of them are already filthy.
The balconies serve no purpose at all, except if you want to sit out there and breathe in car fumes and listen to traffic all night.
Makes me love my non trendy cheap quiet hood.
I bet there are 2 bathrooms in the 833 sq feet 2-bedrooms, too.

But Denton, can’t you still hear the noise pretty well from up there?
Me no think Shaya feel so lucky…Katan next up?

Snappy, it’s actually really nice out there if you’re high enuf. Was before all the buildings went up. Consider these, which were shot from my roof deck a couple of blocks down a few years ago:

Really hate the color of the brick (although I guess you can’t see it much when you are inside). Why do a lot of the newer buildings seem to have yellow or orange brick?
Think the top few floors look good and the building as a whole would be better if it were all like that.
…on gritty 4th ave.

I think the prices are insane considering that major windows and balconies face 4th Ave. Good luck trying to maintain a sliver of sanity while sitting out there and having a cocktail.
