Questionable Prospect

This Prospect Heights one-bedroom is in an amazing location. Its next to the Brooklyn Library and Grand Army Plaza. Best of all, its right by a subway express stop. Did I mention the apartment is across from Prospect Park?

But check out this floorplan. You must walk through the narrow kitchen to enter the apartment. The living room is a decent size, but smaller than ours. Huge drawback: you must go through the bedroom to get to the bathroom. No more weekend guests. A little light on closets, but I've seen worse.

At 725 square feet, its probably average for a New York one-bedroom, but we need at least 750 or 800 well-laid out square feet. I think at $425,000, you're paying for the location. Maintenance is $972, high for the neighborhood.
