Searching for a 1-bedroom with ample space, light, and conveniences — without a seven-figure price tag? You may not think to look in Carroll Gardens due to its higher-than-average asking prices. But there are some great units in the neighborhood at even greater prices, like 3 4th Place #6. Our Deal of the Week is a Carroll Gardens 1-bedroom co-op complete with a dishwasher, lots of windows, and a convenient location in Brooklyn.

The Price: $650,000
The median asking price for a home in Carroll Gardens was $2.5 million this April, according to the StreetEasy Data Dashboard. That means our Deal of the Week is priced at about a quarter of the median asking price for the neighborhood!
Buyers who put down a 20% down payment of $130,000 can expect to see estimated monthly payments of $4,372. This includes a mortgage payment of $3,490 (at a 7.087% interest rate) and a maintenance fee of $882. Monthly payments are also lower than the median asking rent in Carroll Gardens, which was $4,500 this April.
Why You’ll Love It…
Enter this unit into the kitchen, which has been outfitted with marble countertops and white cabinetry that provides plenty of storage space. Whether you’re a seasoned home chef or a take-out aficionado, you’ll love easy clean-up thanks to the dishwasher. There’s also a full-size refrigerator and oven with a range.
Both the living area and the bedroom — which are located on opposite ends of the apartment — sport ceiling fans, large windows, and hardwood floors. Plus, there are two closets in the bedroom and one closet in the living area for optimal storage. Additionally, both the living room and bedroom are spacious and can accommodate a fair amount of furniture. For example, you should be able to fit a small dining set in the living area.

Between the kitchen and the bedroom is the bathroom, sporting an all-white, clean color scheme. A deep soaking tub offers a place to unwind, and a medicine cabinet provides some convenient storage.
This unit is located in a co-op building with bike storage, laundry facilities, and a front garden — living up to the neighborhood’s name. In terms of transportation, the F, G, and R trains are nearby, in addition to the B61 and B57 buses. Plus, there are lots of great attractions nearby, including Other Half Brewing Company, Lucali, Defonte’s Sandwich Shop, Frankie’s 457 Spuntino, Coffey Park, and Carroll Park.
… And Why You Might Not
Not everybody will be a fan of the building’s location right by the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, although there are a couple of quiet blocks separating it from the highway. And the building doesn’t have an elevator, but thankfully the unit is just two flights up. Still, if you’re looking to buy in the area for under $1M, this one is certainly worth checking out!
