A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 1229 President 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.
1229 President Street offers large condominium apartments within a low-rise Crown Heights building. Four-bedroom homes around 1,850 square feet appear in its inventory, with multiple bathrooms and balconies. Built in 1987, it belongs to an earlier generation of neighborhood condominium construction. Parking and storage accompany some homes, adding practical space beyond the apartment interior.
Architecture and unit composition
The building's apartment inventory includes broad layouts with several bedrooms and distinct living and dining areas. Upper accommodation has been offered with multiple balconies, while bathroom configurations vary across the large homes. Central heating and air conditioning and in-unit laundry appear in the interior specifications.
The recent resale areas are approximately 1,845 to 1,900 square feet. Those measurements describe the larger accommodation that has traded publicly; they should not be treated as a guaranteed size for every home in the condominium. Balconies provide outdoor space at more than one point in some layouts, with access tied to the rooms they serve.
Building operations
The condominium contains twelve residential tax lots, with the largest owner holding two apartments. Parking appears among the building's offerings, but whether a space transfers with a particular home depends on that property's ownership rights.
No building tax abatement is recorded. Personal exemptions appearing on individual tax accounts apply to the qualifying owner and cannot be assumed to carry over to a purchaser. The site's recorded floor area is below the current R6 residential allowance; that zoning comparison alone does not grant any owner a right to expand a home or add to the shared building.

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.
