Windsor Terrace Condos Sell in a Heartbeat
The nearly complete Parc Maison in Windsor Terrace doesn’t feature Brooklyn’s most exciting architecture ever (not execrable, just a little uninspired for a prime corner lot in our opinion), but the condos sure sat well with buyers.

The nearly complete Parc Maison in Windsor Terrace doesn’t feature Brooklyn’s most exciting architecture ever (not execrable, just a little uninspired for a prime corner lot in our opinion), but the condos sure sat well with buyers. Eight of the development’s units went into contract after only two open houses this fall, according to Corcoran broker Andrew Booth. (The project’s developer is hanging on to the remaining seven units for the moment, though those may also eventually hit the market—Booth claims that if they did, we’d sell them within a week.) The condos are in townhouses and range in size from 1050 to more than 1600 square feet. Prices went from $599,000 for the smaller 2-bedrooms to $699,000 for the biggest 2-bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and it seems like those prices hit the sweet spot for Windsor Terrace buyers. Surprised?

mdmh – I went to your website and I really do like your place. Not sure if it is a solid family place as that second bedroom looks kinda small, but overall great location and decent space with a nice kitchen. You should have no problem selling for just under 600K. Just wait a few more weeks and I think you will start to see more buyers materialize.
Open houses were packed this weekend.
I also recently moved to WT. It is a really nice hood.
The larger unit, the price can’t be beat. The same apartment in PS would be $850,000. I have looked at a number of 2bedroom apartments/$600 range in Park Slope over the past few months, and they were pretty small spaces. Definitely not a family apartments.
I recently moved to WT, right around the corner from these apartments. If you ask me, I’m quite happy with how they turned out and surprised at how quickly the units went into contract (good news for me I guess).
Windsor Terrace is a great place to live.
I know this is hard to believe for some but there are many people who prefer to live in a quieter area.
What you’re describing is nothing like our old 2BR coop on a prime North Slope block, 3:25 which we sold for $600,000. I don’t think seeing one coop in Park Slope makes you an expert.
(I’m not a Park Slope resident btw, just a realist who wouldn’t pay $600 per square foot for no amenities and only an F train).
I agree a lot of lower priced 2br coops don’t really have a true 2nd bedroom, but we have a real 2nd bedroom and several families live in the bldg plus a great layout, all new appliances and a W/D in the apt. so as coop bldgs go, it’s not bad, but no it’s not a shiny new building with central A/C so that’s why it’s priced on the low end. But I understand that there are certain people that would prefer the brand new condos if they can afford it. And 2:58, if you go to craigslist or NYT website, and search for a Park Slope 2BR coop for $595 you’ll find it – I think we’re the only PS coop at that price right now (FSBO).
I would rather have one of these Windsor Terrace Units for 600K than some craptastic 2 BR in a nice Brownstone on a nice Park Slope Block. at the end of the day, waht I have seen out there for 600K in Park Slope is fit for a single person or couple maybe. it is usually poorly maintained, has only 1 tiny bathroom, and the second “bedroom” is really an office.
It all comes down to preferance – some prefer a spacious new apartment with fewer amenities, while others prefer a shabby hovel in the center of it all.
You can get a 2BR coop in prime Park Slope for around $600K. As for older Park Slope brownstone coop buildings being unappealing to some buyers as someone said above, since when? Those are widely considered some of the most beautiful blocks in the entire city and walking distance to great amenities. Windsor Terrace is very cute but it’s not anything like brownstone Brooklyn, plus almost zero amentities without much promise of amenities arriving because there aren’t many commercial properties available for rent in the neighborhood. It’s totally residential. What’s already there is what you get.
Hey mdmh, where is your place listed – I might be interested in checking it out as I am in the market for a 2 BR.
Thanks!
