Garfield North is a well-maintained pre-war elevator building with a spacious central laundry facility, video intercom, FIOS-ready internet and an elegant lobby that brings you back to an earlier era. Your pets, dogs and cats are welcome with board approval. This building composts as well.
The building is situated on a townhouse block within the Park Slope Historic District. Seventh Avenue is one of the premier commercial thoroughfares of NYC with over one mile's worth of restaurants and coffee shops, banks and food markets. There's a Key Food around the corner as is the popular Community Bookstore and the food coop is just 3 blocks away on Union Street. NY Presbyterian/Methodist Hospital is 6 short blocks away.
Prospect Park is two avenues away with its 585 acres of scenic beauty, recreational opportunities and the Celebrate Brooklyn summer concerts. There is a Saturday green market at Grand Army Plaza by the park's main entrance. Transportation options include the B/Q/2/3 and the B67 and B 69 bus routes.
Please note that the building is in the midst of a large project that includes extensive work on the facades and roof. Once completed in June of this year you will be able to enjoy both a deck outside your living room and the lower-level garden area.
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).
