Overview of Brightwater Towers at 501 Surf Avenue

Brightwater Towers is a 24 story, 734 unit condominium at 501 Surf Avenue in Coney Island, completed in 1964. The building sits directly across from the New York Aquarium and offers immediate access to the beach, boardwalk, and Luna Park. Asser Levy Park is located just behind the property, and the West 8th Street subway station (F and Q trains) provides commutes to Downtown Manhattan in under an hour.

Apartments commonly feature private balconies or terraces with ocean views, with many units offering unobstructed vistas of the Atlantic. Renovated units typically include hardwood floors, modern kitchens with stainless steel appliances, and ample closet space. A notable feature for some units is the inclusion of deeded parking spaces, valued at approximately $65,000, a significant perk given the long waiting list for parking in the area. Many units include all utilities (gas, water, heat, and electricity) in the monthly maintenance. The building currently benefits from a J-51 tax abatement in effect until June 30, 2029.

Resident amenities include 24 hour doorman and security with gated entry and key card access, an Olympic sized heated pool with separate kiddie pool, a fitness center, and on-site parking available for purchase or rent. The building also offers a live-in superintendent, on-site management office during business hours, multiple laundry rooms, four elevators, resident storage, a private landscaped courtyard, and package room with Amazon lockers. The lobby was recently renovated.
