190 Garfield is a professionally managed, 40 unit, pet friendly Condo. There is central laundry on the first floor (conveniently right next to this unit) as well as a super and porters that handle garbage removal and cleaning and maintenance of the common areas. The building is very well maintained with a new boiler and elevator refurbishment done within the past 10 years, a full lobby and hallway renovation in 2017 and a brand new laundry room, including all new machines just two years ago.
The location could not be better as it is literally in the heart of central Park Slope. Enjoy your morning coffee at Hungry Ghost, just a few doors up the block at 7th Avenue, or treat yourself to ice cream at Teo's or Pinkberry after dinner. The Garfield entrance to the Park is an easy two block stroll, and PS 321 (the current zoned school) is just two blocks away. Key Food Grocery Store is just one block away and neighborhood favorites such as Bar Vinazo, Electric Beets, Un Posto Italiano, Ai Di La, Hanyeo, Calexico, Burgers and Beers, Da Nonna Rosa, Bareburger, Negril, High Dive, The Commissioner, Fjord Fish Market, Kos Kaffe, Buttermilk Bakeshop, and Showroom Bakeshop are all within a two block radius!
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).
