Seaside location at a low price point
This six-story Art Deco co-op from 1931 has seen better days. The alternating black-and-off-white tile surrounding the entrance distinguishes this building from its neighbors, but the overall effect is marred by chain-link fencing, barred windows and a ground-floor dental office. Appearances aside, 3130 offers low prices for NYC and is located on a leafy stretch one block from the beach and Coney Island Boardwalk at the Brighton Sixth entrance. Just next to the boardwalk entrance is the longtime Tatiana restaurant, a neighborhood staple for Russian fare and nightlife whose outdoor seating is full all summer. Brighton Beach Avenue is just half a block in the opposite direction, a bustling corridor underneath elevated train tracks and home to a large concentration of Russian businesses. The Brighton Beach station with its express B, Q trains is right there as well.
Prewar layouts in various states of condition
Many of the building’s 85 units that have come on the market needed updating, with some in better condition than others. Prewar elements are the main selling point, like nine-foot ceilings, hardwood floors and larger-than-average rooms. Less desirable prewar features include exposed radiators and windows in the shower. The most updated units offer stainless- steel appliances, granite counters, washers/dryers, dishwashers and custom closets. Window units are the main option for air conditioning, and outdoor space is limited to fire escapes. Sizes range from 600-square-foot studios to the rare 1,900-square-foot four-bedroom, but most are studios. One- and two-bedrooms average around 1,000 square feet, with a recent one-bedroom listing at $375,000, with the option to be converted to two bedrooms. Actual two bedrooms offer about the same amount of space and pricing. There haven’t been any other recent listings for current prices on the other layouts; units don’t come on the market very often and tend to sell for below ask. Some apartments house Section 8 tenants and are sold as investor units, otherwise, apartments bought by investors can be rented immediately, and more than a few are rented out.
Basic amenities include a laundry room and live-in super
The unattended lobby feels as dated as the exterior, but it does have a ramp next to the stairs leading to the elevators and gets decorated for the holidays. While there isn’t any security on the premises, there is a locked entrance, plus security cameras and a live-in super. There’s also a laundry room in the basement since many apartments lack washers/dryers. The basement contains storage space and a bike room. Pets are allowed and will be in good company of the many dogs and their owners who stroll along the boardwalk. Parking is limited to finding spots on the street.
Beachside living that’s close to shopping, dining and transportation
Brighton Beach earned the nickname Little Odessa due to its large population from Russia and Eastern Europe, but the demographic is now shifting to also include a growing number from Turkey, Georgia and Uzbekistan. Businesses serving the various communities predominate, from longtime Russian restaurants along the boardwalk to newer restaurants serving Turkish, Uzbek and Georgian fare along Brighton Beach Avenue. The former includes Tatiana, a boardwalk icon since 1990 that offers traditional Russian dishes in an opulent, banquet-like setting, complete with a stage for dinner and a show. Performances range from dancing worthy of Vegas to magic shows and lend to the lively atmosphere. Tatiana Grill is next door, a more casual venue and summertime favorite among local families for its outdoor seating overlooking the Atlantic.
The beach is equally popular come summer and this section is quieter than the Coney Island side, which tends to attract as many tourists as locals. This end of the boardwalk is populated with all ages and dogs hanging out until late at night. By contrast, Brighton Beach Avenue feels more hectic with locals hurrying past Cyrillic-script storefronts. Non-chains proliferate and include dry cleaners, banks and eateries like Ocean View Cafe for an authentic Ukrainian meal in a casual space. Food shopping along Brighton Beach Avenue includes Tashkent Supermarket for halal food and NetCost Market just beyond for specialty Russian goods and a good selection of produce. The avenue is also home to the annual Brighton Jubilee in August, a neighborhood fundraiser entering its 48th year that attracts more than 100,000 visitors who come for its many food and merchandise vendors, live music and kid’s activities.
Express trains, buses and convenient car access
The express B and Q trains are right around the corner on Brighton Beach Avenue. It’s important to know that this is an elevated station with many stairs and no accessible option. For that, one needs to catch the B68 bus on Brighton Beach to Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue, also served by the D, F, N and Q lines. Express trains reach Manhattan in about an hour. Those with cars can quickly reach the Belt Parkway for Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island as well as Ocean Parkway for other parts of Brooklyn since it runs north to Prospect Park. Ocean Parkway is also a popular bus route, plus fitness enthusiasts can use its dedicated pedestrian path on both sides for much of the way. Not least, this part of Brooklyn is 13 miles away from JFK International Airport.
Hospital serving South Brooklyn is nearby
South Brooklyn Health, still commonly called Coney Island Hospital, is the main hospital for South Brooklyn and about a 15-minute drive north.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
