Property Description for 78 South 1st Street, 22

Welcome to 78 South 1st Street, Residence 22: a recently renovated, flexible home in a 1911 pre-war co-op on a quiet Williamsburg block between Wythe Avenue and Berry Street, just a 4-minute walk from Domino Park and the East River waterfront.

The layout is what sets this apartment apart. It is setup as a two-bedroom or as a one-bedroom with a dedicated home office, so you can set it up around how you actually live and work. With both north and south exposures, natural light comes in from both ends of the home throughout the day. The open kitchen and dining area keeps the main living space connected and easy to entertain in. The apartment was recently renovated and is ready to move into.

The building offers a laundry room, a shared courtyard, and bike storage. As an HDFC Co-op this unit does have an income restriction of $118,680 for one person and $135,600 for a family of two. This property is a 29 unit self managed HDFC co-op with an extremely low monthly maintenance of $432 and that figure includes the unit's real estate taxes and just 10% flip tax. Please note that the income restriction and maintenance figures above are from 2025 and will be updated soon.

The location puts you at the center of Williamsburg. Domino Park is a 4-minute walk away, Trader Joe's on Kent Avenue is about 7 minutes on foot, and the restaurants, cafés, and shops along Wythe Avenue and Bedford Avenue are right around the corner. Getting around is easy. The Bedford Avenue L train is 0.4 miles away, the Marcy Avenue J, M, and Z trains are just under half a mile, and the G and L at Metropolitan Avenue are 0.65 miles away. If you'd rather commute by water, the North 5th Street and South 8th Street ferry landings are each about 0.4 miles from the building. This is a rare chance to own a renovated, light-filled home in one of New York City's most sought-after neighborhoods, at a monthly cost that is very hard to find anywhere nearby.

Williamsburg | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

Equal parts family-friendly and millennial haven/nightlife destination, Williamsburg offers the best of all worlds. Whether by night or by day, the ‘Burg has endless options for every type of personality and interest--which has only increasingly become the case after the neighborhood was rezoned in 2005. With the floodgate opened for more varied types of businesses, Williamsburg saw one of the highest rates of development in the past decade than any other part of Brooklyn. 

Referred to as “Little Berlin” for its late night and club-oriented nature, Williamsburg works as hard as it plays. Apart from the Clubland concentrated around Wythe Avenue, there is also a slew of offices (like 25 Kent Avenue, a sprawling eight-floor, 500,000-square foot waterfront building) and co-working spaces such as WeWork, The Yard and Green Desk that make it an ideal location for the corporate-, startup- and tech-oriented set. 

With more offices setting their sights on this part of Brooklyn, it only makes sense that more people want to live close to where they work. Apart from your average walk-up apartment, W-burg has famously become home to numerous condos along the waterfront that continue to grow and expand in concert with the businesses and corporate hubs that have entered the environment. 

Even with its many and undeniable changes, however, Williamsburg remains an arts-friendly community, particularly with regard to music and literature. While DIY spaces have come and gone, certain staples have persisted to become institutions that still provide a place for up and coming musicians to perform. On the literary front, long-standing indie bookstores like Spoonbill and Sugartown and Book Thug Nation have paved the way for others to cross the river, namely McNally Jackson Books.
