Open Houses This Weekend In Kensington

Looking for a new place to live in the area? We’ve rounded up some places on the market that are hosting open houses this weekend. What do you think?

234 McDonald Avenue #6M
List Price: $599,000, $802 maintenance, listed by Corcoran
Size: 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom
Details: This co-op apartment (pictured above) is pretty big at 1,300-square-feet, but for a family looking to spread out, the main concern might be that there’s only one bathroom. That and the possibility of noise from trucks chugging up the hill of McDonald. Still, it’s a great location–next to Green-Wood, near all the great food and drink options on Ft Hamilton, pretty close to the subway. And cats are allowed.
Open House: Sunday, June 2, 12-1:30pm

150 Ocean Parkway, Apt Not Listed
List Price: $449,000, $325 common charges, listed by owner
Size: 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms
Details: Not quite the square-footage of the apartment above, but this 950-square-foot condo does have a second bathroom. There’s a washer and dryer inside the unit, plus a dishwasher in the kitchen, and a balcony that faces west, so you can sit out and watch the sunset.
Open House: Sunday, June 2, 1-3pm, call 917-207-4794 for entry

715 Ocean Parkway #6B
List Price: $299,000, $885 maintenance, listed by Douglas Elliman
Size: 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom
Details: Looks like a pretty nice space in this co-op, and one that puts you just a few blocks away from a new cafe that’s opening soon on Newkirk Avenue, as well as a quick walk to the F train at 18th Ave. But that’s a fairly high maintenance fee — worth it?
Open House: Sunday, June 2, 1-2pm

275 Webster Avenue #1F
List Price: $179,000, $647 maintenance, listed by Brown Harris Stevens
Size: 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom
Details: Though this co-op apartment has been on the market for months — we first noticed an open house in February — the price has stayed the same. It’s got a kitchen made for serious cooking and a parking garage (though there’s a wait-list). The floors look like they could use some work, but otherwise it seems like a pretty nice space — so what’s keeping it on the market?
Open House: Sunday, June 2, 2-4pm
