Older NYC buildings and apartments certainly have their charms, but there’s also something to be said for a unit that’s move-in ready. Our Deal of the Week is the best of both worlds — 2515 Glenwood Road #5A is a renovated Flatbush 1-bedroom in a 1930s elevator building, so you can enjoy the luxuries of modern life (like a dishwasher!) while living in a co-op with character. Plus, the building is conveniently located in central Flatbush — one of StreetEasy’s 2024 neighborhoods to watch. Read on to learn more about this beautifully renovated Flatbush 1-bedroom.

The Price: $295,000
The median asking price for a home in Flatbush was $665,000 this February, according to the StreetEasy Data Dashboard. That means our Deal of the Week is priced at less than half of the median asking price for the neighborhood.
Buyers who put down the 20% minimum down payment of $59,000 can expect to see estimated monthly payments of $2,657. This includes a mortgage payment of $1,521 and a maintenance fee of $1,136. This monthly payment is also less than the median asking rent in Flatbush, which was $2,850 in February.
Why You’ll Love It…
Enter this unit into a spacious foyer with enough room for a desk, which opens up to the kitchen, living room and a hallway complete with a linen closet. The windowed galley kitchen is decked out in white cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, which include a fridge with a center cooling drawer and a dishwasher. There’s also a dine-in area at the end of the kitchen by the window, perfect for a breakfast nook.
The rooms are plenty spacious in this unit — especially the living room and bedroom. Each has windows along two walls and has plenty of room for furniture. Plus, the bedroom has two closets! Between these two rooms is the windowed bathroom, which has a linen closet, tub and shower combo, and pedestal sink.

Located in a brick co-op building, this unit has access to a live-in super, laundry room, bike room and bulk storage. There’s also an elevator, and the co-op is pet-friendly. Brooklyn College is right down the street, as are the 2 and 5 trains, ALDI and Target. The B and Q trains also stop nearby, so you’ll have several transit options available to you.
… And Why You Might Not
With so much space and so many modern updates, it’s hard to find things to nitpick about this apartment. But if we had to, we’d point out that the windows in the living room are placed in a somewhat odd way, and that Flatbush might not be the most convenient location for those who commute to Midtown or Upper Manhattan.
