411 15th Street is a very well-maintained, and well-managed 15-unit, pet-friendly co-op. Residents enjoy storage in the basement, as well as scooter and stroller parking on the first floor. In addition, there is a lovely and fully furnished common backyard, complete with charcoal and propane grills and numerous pots for gardening. The co-op is professionally managed, with a custodian who takes out garbage and does light housekeeping in the common areas. The building has also benefited from numerous recent updates, including: A new roof with solar panels, new sewer lines, new stairs and doors to the basement and back garden, new hot water heater and water proofing of the foundation and basement. New gas lines were installed throughout the building in 2017, and a full hallway refurbishment, including new paint, carpeting and lighting, was done in 2021. A new boiler is also coming in 2022. The recently increased maintenance of $1030/month includes taxes, heat, hot water and cooking gas, making your carrying costs very low and unlikely to increase again for quite some time (this was the first increase in 3 years). There is an additional $113/month assessment through April 2024.

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).
