749 Union Street is a truly lovely 8 unit, pet friendly, co-op in the heart of Park Slope. The self managed building is impeccably maintained, with no underlying mortgage, resulting in a very low $650 maintenance fee. While self managed, garbage removal and light custodial work is included, as is heat and hot water. Each unit has their own deeded storage space in the basement, where there is also common bike storage with direct street access for regular riders. Stroller parking is permitted in the first floor hallway. Located just one block from the R or a 10 minute walk to Atlantic Terminal/Barclays Center gets you anywhere you want to be, although the ideal intersection of Union and 5th with all of the wonderful shops, restaurants and amenities at your doorstep, not to mention hip and trendy Gowanus in one direction and Prospect Park with it's Farmer's Market in the other, may have you never wanting to leave!
Quick Profile
Boasting beautiful tree-lined streets, brownstones and a range of activities for all age groups, Park Slope is consistently ranked as one of New York’s most desirable neighborhoods. Filled with lush parks and greenery, the neighborhood is also known for its rare combination of excellent public schools, award-winning restaurants, nightlife, small independently owned businesses and community gardens.
Situated at the western slope of Prospect Park, the neighborhood is divided into different sections: North Slope, Center Slope and South Slope. Depending on who you ask, of course, the definitions of where these borders end and begin may vary (is the divide between North and Center deemed Union Street, Garfield Place, 1st Street or 3rd Street? The one between Center and South 6th Street, 9th Street, 11th Street or 15th Street?).
Regardless of what part of the Slope you find yourself on, there’s no shortage of architectural beauty. From row houses to brownstones to mansions, the idyllic setting of the neighborhood is further enhanced by its Romanesque and Renaissance Revival styles. Case in point of this is also two of the area’s most well-known churches, Park Slope United Methodist Church and Saint Augustine Roman Catholic Church.
Revered for its family-friendly appeal, Park Slope is often regarded as one of the best places to raise a family in New York City. That said, it doesn’t mean that parents don’t know how to have a good time... a slew of bars constantly opening in the neighborhood ranging from the high-end cocktail saloon to the dive (well, by Park Slope standards, anyway).
