Overview of 279 1st Street

279 1st Street is a 1921, four story, 12 unit co op on a tree lined block in Park Slope. Several apartments have private roof decks positioned directly above their footprints, an unusual arrangement that gives individual residences outdoor space with skyline and treetop views.

The apartments retain a strong pre war character, with wood burning fireplaces, hardwood floors, decorative moldings, high ceilings, and abundant natural light recurring across the homes. Renovated kitchens and bathrooms, dishwashers, and in unit laundry are also represented in multiple layouts, which range from one bedroom and one plus den homes to two bedroom apartments with split bedrooms. One garden level residence extends into an English basement with a bonus room connected to the garden.

The self managed, pet friendly co op has communal bicycle storage, dedicated basement storage areas, and a recently renewed roof; hallway carpeting and paint have also been updated. The building sits around the corner from Fifth Avenue's restaurants, cafes, shops, and services, with Whole Foods and JJ Byrne Playground close by and Prospect Park a short walk away.

The R stops at Union Street, while the F, G, and R stop at 4th Avenue/9th Street. The 2 and 3 stop at Bergen Street, and the B and Q stop at 7th Avenue, placing Downtown Brooklyn and other parts of the city within reach.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
