This Tall and majestic, co-op has terraces that allow you enjoy the great out of doors without leaving your apartment (technically), and breathtaking Manhattan views that rival any postcard.   You can purchase a studio apartment for as little as $165,000, a 1 bedroom from $275,000 to $329,000 (depending on renovation and so forth)  and a 2 bedroom for just under $400,000.

Here is a list of the other great features that makes Willoughby Walk an ideal place to call home:

1. 100% owner occupied.
2. Only 10% down required by the co-op!
3. Large windows bring a lot of light into the apartments.
4. This is a gated community with 24-Hour Security.
5. The Co-op is Pet Friendly.  Dogs and Cats are welcome.
6. Some apartments have terraces.
7. Some apartments have picture postcard Manhattan views.
8. The Co-op has great financials and cash reserves.
9. Brand new laundry facilities on campus.
10. Storage is available.
11. Parking is available (there’s a waiting list)

There’s nothing better than Willoughby Walk’s location.  Its steps away from The Pratt Institute’s Brooklyn Campus and St Josephs College.

All of the amenities that the Clinton Hill/Fort Greene area has to offer are in walking distance, Fort Greene Park, Myrtle and Dekalb Avenues, which are both lined with marvelous shops, restaurants and so much more.

There’s a quick commute into Manhattan from Willoughby Walk.  The  G train is a 10 min walk away and the C train is not much farther than that.  Several buses take you to downtown Brooklyn in no time.

You’ve seen all the pros listed above, and like most things in life, there are cons.  If you are looking for a large kitchen and want to seat a large number of people for dinner, then this coop may not be for you.  The kitchens tend to be on the smaller side and most apartments have no designated dining area to speak of.  However, if you rarely cook and don’t usually have a lot of sit down banquet style dinner parties, these cons are not deal breakers or you can simply renovate the apartment expanding the kitchen and creating a dining space.

You can purchase a large one bedroom apartment with plenty of light in the $285,000 to $350,000 range and an even larger two bedroom apartment for between $375,000 to $450,000.  Due to the recent recession and housing marking bubble burst, this is a decrease in pricing for the coop, which is great for anyone looking to buy now.

The Clinton Hill Co-ops consists of 12 buildings split up into two campuses, the North Campus on Clinton Avenue between Myrtle and Willoughby Avenues and The South Campus Between Lafayette and Greene Avenues. There are so many reasons that purchasing at the Clinton Hill Apartments is a wise investment, but here is a list of just a few of the positives:

1. The co-op is financially sound.  Having just refinanced its mortgage the coop has $10,000,000 in its reserve fund.
2. For 2011 the coop Board was able to hold the maintenance fee at the 2010 level.  That’s right, a co-op with no maintenance increase!
3. The apartments are large, with good sized closets. One bedroom apartments are approximately 800 Sq ft and two bedrooms are over 1000 Sq ft!
4. All of the apartments have large windows that let in a massive amount of light.  Many of the apartments have fantastic Manhattan views.
5. There is 24 hour security and maintenance staff on call 24/7.
6. Newly renovated laundry facilities are on site. Storage and Parking are available.
7. The co-op has a dedicated board that meets all requirements for shareholder meetings and handles it fiduciary responsibility of making sure all of the co-ops bills are paid.
8. The co-op is located in a section of Brooklyn that is just minutes from Manhattan.  You can go from the coop to 34th street Manhattan in 30 minutes.
9. The Clinton Hill/Fort Greene area is booming with upscale restaurants and shops, with more and more opening every month.
10. Clinton Hill Co-ops is located on one of most beautiful streets in Brooklyn, namely Clinton Avenue, which has been called “Mansions Row” because of all the historic mansions that line the tree line street. Want more trees? Fort Greene Park is just three blocks away!
11. The Clinton Hill Co-op is pet friendly. Dogs and cats are welcome.

For the sake of balanced reporting, there are few things that you might find negative about the coop, but they are in the process of being corrected.  The elevators are badly in need of a cosmetic overhaul, and the board is planning to take care of that.  The lobby of all twelve buildings are being updated and a plan to up date the individual public hallways on each floor, which are sorely in need of updating as well, is being devised.  The exterior of the buildings are somewhat drab, but the interior space, cleanliness and first rate upkeep of the interiors and landscaping more than make up for it.
