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?

Not bad. But those damn windows…
Park Houses makes it sound like a housing project.
Oh wait…
The french name is ridiculous but its quite close to prospect park. Couldn’t they just call it Park Houses?
Oh, right: THAT parc. Gotcha.
You wanna see ugly, you should see the Fedders Queenscrap houses across the street from these. Agree they came out less bad than I’d feared, although the configuration of the corner strip and another, sort-of-freestanding unit (at right angles separated by a narrow alley) is very odd. Location is very high-traffic, RIGHT opposite Key Food’s parking lot and on busy Prospect Ave, so owners won’t get the “tucked-away” vibe of some of WT’s famously charming little sidestreets. Decent public school district (I’m told) and a short walk from a solid and improving Catholic school (Holy Name, preK thru 8).
By the way, IS there a “parc” near this “maison”?
I love pretentious development names. Adorable!
Please. Those steps are not more ridiculous than many that you see on a brownstone.
These places aren’t gorgeous, I’ll give you that, but they fit right into the area very nicely.
Ya know, I like the architecture about as much as I like the broker’s chin pubes…
…but, hey, it looks way better than it did in the rendering. It’s a nice color of brick, they spent a little money on decorative elements, and I won’t ever have to look at it because I never go to Windsor Terrace. So I’ll shut up now.
Queens.
