Imagine living in a three bedroom apartment with two roommates, each paying more than $1700. The place looks nice, but even splitting it 6 ways with 3 couples living together it would still be more than $860 per person per month. Like does this building even have any luxury amenities? I don't see a doorman listed or any kind of gym, or shared space...

@dac545 are you just joking? Are you able to find many units with these specs and price? This is for a family not 6 roommates. Terrace, space, 2 full baths and parking ARE your luxury NYC amenities

Looks like the original post was back at the beginning of November 2017 so the price must be keeping many people away. And since this is a condo let's figure it's the owner renting it out so the mortgage and maintenance must be damn near what he's asking for rent.

OK, I actually didn't notice the parking, so that definitely makes up for a lot. It just blows me away how high the price can go up for these prime areas. Just a few years ago, I lived in a two-floor, 4 BR, 2.5 BA with central air/heat, laundry in-unit and it was less than half this amount. BUT it was two stops further out on the 2/5 trains in Lefferts Gardens. Underhill is absolutely beautiful, but this unit is also slightly over a block away from a truck route, a massive self-storage complex, not to mention guys from the homeless shelter chilling in Lowry Triangle.

sorry, but i don't think 5200 is an outrageous price. as comparison: richard meier building across from the library is asking $60psf; 550 vanderbilt is asking 50+ psf; at $5200, this building is asking 42 psf and yes, there is a gym.

Well, I wouldn't compare the building or its location to the Richard Meier building. And @dac545 people will pay a premium for 'prime areas' and school district. A big rent driver of park slope's PS321 zone is the school itself. So yeah, families will put up with a bit to have space, a school, and nearby amenities. Not for the singles or faint of heart

Prospect Heights' PS 9 school district is quite a draw as well. ...this unit is within it.
