125 Ocean Avenue is a six-story Art Deco elevator co-op built in the 1930s, located directly across from Prospect Park in Prospect Lefferts Gardens. The building features a recently renovated lobby and hallways, and offers units ranging from studios to two-bedroom apartments, many with direct park views. Prewar architectural details remain intact throughout, including original wrought iron railings, arched moldings, herringbone hardwood floors, and 10 foot ceilings in many units.
Apartments commonly feature sunken living rooms with raised dining areas, creating a distinctive sense of flow and architectural interest. Many units have been thoughtfully renovated with modern kitchens equipped with stainless steel appliances and custom cabinetry, while windowed kitchens and bathrooms are standard throughout. Recent upgrades across multiple units include sound reducing windows, ductless air conditioning systems, and custom closet solutions. Units range from approximately 1,000 to 1,200 square feet for one and two-bedroom layouts.
Building amenities include a full time live in super, 24 hour laundry room, package room, and bicycle and storage lockers available for a small monthly fee (storage noted at $45 monthly in recent listings). The location provides immediate access to Prospect Park's entrances, playgrounds, Lakeside Skating Rink, and the Prospect Park Zoo, with the Brooklyn Botanic Garden just one block away. The B/Q/S subway lines at Prospect Park station offer convenient access to Manhattan.
The co-op permits cats but no dogs, and allows a maximum of 80% financing. Monthly maintenance fees are notably low, with one studio listing citing just $393 per month. The building's combination of preserved 1930s character, modern renovations, and prime park-facing location makes it a distinctive option in the neighborhood.

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.
