A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 1125 Lorimer Street would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
1125 Lorimer Street is a six-story brick apartment house on the former site of the Greenpoint Presbyterian Church and parsonage. The LPC designation report identifies that earlier use of the property at Lorimer and Noble Streets. The present cooperative dates to 1949 and contains 60 residences within the Greenpoint Historic District.
The building offers elevator access and a range of conventional apartment layouts on a block known for much older houses. Studios, one-bedroom homes and two-bedroom apartments are represented, along with larger combinations. Shared laundry and a resident superintendent support the building's day-to-day operations.
The corner position provides different orientations around the property, including street views and outlooks toward planted interior areas. Upper apartments can look over nearby roofs. The location is close to Manhattan Avenue's commercial corridor and the Greenpoint Avenue G station.
Architecture and unit composition
The red-brick exterior belongs to the postwar apartment-house layer of the historic district. Its broad frontage and repeated window pattern mark a clear change in building type from the nineteenth-century structures described elsewhere in the district's designation report. The present apartment house replaced the church and parsonage.
Inside, the inventory spans compact studios through larger two-bedroom homes. Recorded interiors include one-bedroom apartments around 700 to 875 square feet and larger layouts around 900 to 1,200 square feet. Entry foyers, closets and separate dining areas appear in several of the larger plans.
Renovations have produced both enclosed kitchens and open living, dining and kitchen arrangements. The distinction is visible in the two-bedroom inventory, where some homes retain separate rooms and others have a broader central living area. Wood floors remain common, while kitchen and bathroom finishes differ by renovation.
Corner and upper-floor residences can have multiple exposures. Views into garden areas change with seasonal foliage; broader city outlooks occur where the apartment rises above nearby rooflines. A garden view is a matter of exposure, not a right to use the garden itself.
Combination residences form a smaller part of the inventory. Their additional area and altered circulation place them apart from the standard studios and one-bedroom homes that account for many resales. The largest recorded combination has traded infrequently.
Building operations
Elevator service, central laundry and a resident superintendent form the core service package. Bicycle storage and separate storage facilities reduce the amount of equipment that must be kept inside an apartment. Storage is subject to availability and allocation.
The cooperative owns the residential property, and its tax expense is paid through the corporation. Class 2 assessment treatment applies to the building as a whole. No building-wide tax abatement is identified on the current roll.
Although this apartment house is younger than many nearby properties, it is inside the designated historic district. Exterior alterations therefore engage LPC oversight. Window replacements, masonry repairs and work visible from the street need to be considered within that setting.
The existing built floor-area ratio exceeds the residential allowance listed under R6B zoning. The building's established size and its historic-district location make further enlargement a separate land-use question; unused roof area is not automatically available for additional apartments or private terraces.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-02569-0035) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk.

At the recent median sale of $779K (5 transfers since 2024), a buyer putting 25% down would pay about $11,471 to close, or 1.5% of the price.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
