Many coop buildings and some family homes
The neighborhood is notable for its midrise prewar brick buildings and larger family homes. “Maybe 80% of the housing is coops and then the remaining 20% is a mix of attached single-families, multi-families, and detached houses,” says McNeil. A one-bedroom in a prewar or midcentury brick coop building runs between $200,000 to $450,000. A semi-detached or detached home costs between $1 million and $2.3 million. Condos are rare, though a two-bedroom condo in the six-story Stratford Hall building can cost between $670,00 and $780,000. A historic district with landmarked buildings runs between Roosevelt Avenue and 34th Avenue from 76th Street to 88th Street, and a few blocks feature English Tudor homes.
