Property Description for 230 Park Place, 1-A
Nestled within the heart of Prospect Heights' Historic District, in a highly regarded co-op, is this sprawling (~1,300 sf) two-bedroom, two-bath apartment. Putting "space-saving" new developments to shame, the architects of this c.1937 building designed rooms to be LIVED IN...that is, big, square living rooms and bedrooms, intended to house full-sized furniture and allow residents to luxuriate in their home. The apartment unfolds from a vestibule with two closets into a large foyer, with yet a third closet so winter coats and accessories, pantry and utility items can all be stored away effortlessly. The sunken living room measures an extravagant 250 sqft. Dining is conveniently located just off the renovated windowed kitchen, complete with full-sized stainless-steel appliances, granite counter tops and plenty of cabinets. The master bedroom can handily house a king-sized bed, bureaus and night tables, and has a finished walk-in closet. The en-suite bath has a slate floor and tiled step-in shower. The serene second bedroom faces rear and is nearly as large as the master; an amply sized closet here makes a total of five. The guest bath has a tub-shower and a new toilet and vanity with quartz top. The building has updated its laundry room and boasts FIOS, a great staff of full-time super and 24/7 door attendance. The choices on Vanderbilt Avenue -- just around the corner to the left -- are dizzying: Joyce Bakery, Olmsted, Faun, R&D Specialty Foods, the newly renovated Foodtown Supermarket, Fatoosh, Branded Saloon, Fermented Grapes wine shop, Weather Up cocktail lounge, Milk Bar, Ample Hills and much more! Turn right on Vanderbilt, and you're at the foot of Grand Army Plaza, the Greenmarket, Prospect Park and all that Flatbush Avenue has to offer. BAM, BAM Harvey, TFANA, Mark Morris and BRIC are right on the horizon, as well. The 2/3 train at Grand Army Plaza and the B/Q at Seventh Avenue (down the block) easily get you to and from Manhattan -- if you can tear yourself away!

Prospect Heights | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
Prospect Heights is a small residential neighborhood surrounded by big attractions. It’s rich in culture and offers the perfect blend of old Brooklyn charm and modern-day hipness.
Residents of this tight-knit community include young professionals, families and long-time residents. It’s a walkers paradise - just steps from Prospect Park and a short walking distance to neighborhoods like Downtown Brooklyn, Fort Green and Clinton. You’re close to culture too. Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Library, Brooklyn Botanical Garden, Brooklyn Academy of Music and the Barclays Center are all nearby.
Prospect Heights is bordered by Flatbush Avenue to the west, Washington Avenue to the east, Atlantic Avenue and Dean Street to the north and Eastern Parkway to the south.
Prospect Heights, like many areas of New York City, was first inhabited by indigenous tribes and eventually settled by the Dutch and turned into farmland.
A significant part of the Revolutionary War was fought in Prospect Heights and the surrounding areas. Known as the Battle of Brooklyn, it was the first military engagement following the Declaration of Independence. Things didn’t go so well for American forces so they retreated and the British occupied Manhattan for several years after the Battle of Brooklyn.
In 1867, the opening of Prospect Park caused major housing growth in Prospect Heights. The middle-class neighborhood was soon populated by Jewish, Italian, and Irish workers. Many of which were shop-owners or employed as laborers in nearby factories.
Housing in Prospect Heights includes single-family row houses, historic townhouses, co-ops, and new luxury condos. The median listed price for a 1-bedroom in Prospect Heights is $680,000 with an average price per square foot is $944.
The neighborhood's commercial artery runs along Vanderbilt Avenue and Washington Avenue. The variety of businesses adds to the charm of the neighborhood. They include bars, pubs, restaurants and mom-and-pop stores of all types. The shops and eateries are a perfect alternative to the big-name attractions that bracket the neighborhood. It's a little bit of everything in this neighborhood.
Subways are plentiful in Prospect Heights. Its proximity to Manhattan is another perk of the neighborhood. It's about a half-hour train ride. The B, D, N, Q, R, 2, 3, 4 and 5 subway lines all serve the Atlantic Avenue/Barclays Center station. 2, 3, 4, B and Q trains cover the neighborhood and the A and C trains are nearby too.
