Condos of the Day: Washington Avenue Doubleshot
We checked in on Washington Avenue recently with a mind to sussing out how sales are going on the petite condo row between Bergen and St. Marks.

We checked in on Washington Avenue recently with a mind to sussing out how sales are going on the petite condo row between Bergen and St. Marks. The bigger development on the stretch, 647-649 Washington, has been on the market for more than a year (Corcoran was helming the marketing until they weren’t; Bergen Basin Realty’s now manning the ship), and it proudly advertises units Under Contract with banners in the windows. Bergen Basin’s website currently shows five condos up for grabs at the 16-unit development, with prices hovering in the high-$300 to mid-$400-a-foot range. The development seems basically OK (balconies, standard finishes) and the prices aren’t out of control, so we’re wondering whether the location’s the problem. And if that’s the case, what does it auger for the mostly complete 11-unit condo just one building down, at 655 Washington? Far as we know, the high-windowed building hasn’t hit the market yet. It’ll be interesting to see how it fares given the sleepy reception its neighbor has been receiving.

Visited an open house at 655 great experience
supper finishes developer over did design and touch. Why would you. this is Washington avenue. This sure pulls a higher quality clientele. Was worth the visit. By the way I liked the 1 bedroom. But their all gone the 2 bedrooms are spicy but gorgeous. the floors the huge windows beautiful Bosch appliances. Come on
I took a tour of those condo’s last year ,needless to say we were not impressed ! Washington Ave still leaves alot to be desired .
Most of the auto body places if not all are selling to developers so there should be some pretty interesting developments happening. 655 does look interesting but I’m not too fond of the address up the side either. The location is actually good and Washington has a very cool vibe, there are a really interesting mix of people that reminds me of how Williamsburg used to be lots of craft people, artists, musicians.
Has anyone checked out those St Marks condos? The building’s exterior doesn’t look great, but the windows are huge, so I’m wondering what the apartments are like from the inside.
There’s another condo/loft building around the corner that’s been listed on Corcoran.
Saint Mark’s between Washington and Grand.
What defines a “riot” anyway? I know a girl who was raped and beaten by two of MLK’s brethren right off of Washington Avenue. In my view, a riot is anytime two or more people collude to violate the law. Thus, riots occur daily in predominantly African American communities around the world.
Is it not time to ask The What to play in another sandbox?
When were there riots on Washington Avenue in the 70s and 90s? The only Washington Avenue riot I know of is the one that occurred in 1968 after MLK was killed.
Why is the address in huge letters up and down the facade on 655? I surely hope that is not permanent
