Property Description for 280 Saint Johns Place, 1-A
So, you've been looking for a coop with more space, preferably three bedrooms and two baths. You want a great location, really close to Prospect Park and easily accessible to the neighborhoods surrounding it. You want tons of light, high ceilings and lots of closet space. How about double-sized storage cages and bike storage? A washer/dryer in the unit? Hardwood floors? You want to make the kitchen your own, but not right now (you have a lot on your plate with this move). How about a short commute? Did I mention that you may only need three bedrooms for a couple of years and want the ability to easily reconfigure the space to downsize to two bedrooms in the future? There is only one problem: you want to find a home that is priced fairly but you haven't found it. Search no more.- - - - -280 St Johns Place #1A is a spacious, light-filled duplex coop. This beauty, with three bedrooms and two full baths, is a short walk to Prospect Park. Nestled right behind 1 Grand Army Plaza, the iconic Richard Meier-designed building, the apartment features hardwood floors throughout, a huge living area with plenty of light , a kitchen large enough to be considered "eat in"? and a charming family room/den. A central staircase from the first to the second floor makes the apartment feel more like a small house rather than an apartment. A washer/dryer is in the unit. ----Sitting on the cusp of Prospect Heights and Park Slope, you are steps away from Prospect Park and the Grand Army Plaza Farmers Market. You will be able to visit a wide range of what these two highly desirable neighborhoods have to offer. Restaurants, shopping, Crunch Fitness, the Brooklyn Museum, Botanic Garden, and the Prospect Park Zoo are all a short distance away.-----Looking a little further afield, you will find Barclay's Center, The Park Slope Food Coop, Whole Foods, the NiteHawk Cinema and the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Storage will never be an issue here. There are plenty of closets, not to mention the large storage cage in the easily accessible basement. Bike storage is also available. Call for a viewing and keep an eye out here for open houses.

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.
