The Caroline Launches on Ocean Parkway
It takes some big brass ones to launch a new condo development in this market so yesterday’s opening of The Caroline is worth taking note of. It’s a 44-unit Karl Fischer design that appears to be targeting the under-$500-per-square-foot crowd. Nine listings have been released so far, ranging from $342,000 for a 755-square-foot one-bedroom to…

If anyone lives nearby, we’d love to see a photo of what the facade looks like in real life.

The B8 bus that runs along 18th Ave goes directly to the B/Q express station at Newkirk Ave (or to the closer F station in the other direction). But if you’re not in a hurry and don’t mind a bit of walking you can definitely walk to either the F or the B/Q, or the Cortelyou Rd restaurants, etc. Also, the bike paths on Ocean Parkway make it easy to bike down to Prospect Park on the weekends.
Corcoran’s map has the building on Ocean Avenue, right across from Prospect Park. Much more appealing, though open-house-goers looking for it there will likely be distinctly irked.

does your Fischer & Paykel fridge serve merely as a sculptural element?
Likely since they are usually broken -> Fischer & Paykel=hunks of crap
Whoa, that’s a dealbreaker then.
Can’t even come up with an original name – http://www.tregny.com/content/chelsea/the-caroline-60-west-23rd-street/
The B23 is going to get the axe if the MTA goes ahead with their crazy new fare hikes/service cuts.
There’s a fantastic small grocery store on Ditmas Avenue.
Yeah I’m thinking this might appeal more to the type of person who does his weekly grocery shopping at Shop Rite and cooks for himself, rather than settle for a bag of Doritos because that’s all he can get at 10 p.m. en route from the train to his house.
This is just around the corner from me, and while it would be a hike to the Q train, there’s also the very occasional B23 on Cortelyou and I assume some other bus route on 18th Avenue, so you could time your exit correctly and catch one of them to the F or Q train. As was pointed out, it’s not that far from the various amenities of Ditmas Park, and the B68 bus on Coney Island Avenue is a short ride to Windsor Terrace and the South Slope. There are also some smaller supermarkets of the C-Town variety nearby. Prices don’t seem too out of line for the area, though maybe a bit high for this economy, but I’m no expert on that.
