A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 151–153 Manhattan Avenue 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.
151–153 Manhattan Avenue is one condominium association spread across two adjoining four-story buildings. DOB's 2005 new-building filings identify seven residences at 151 and eight at 153, with Philip Toscano as the architect of record. Together they form the 15-residence condominium represented by the shared tax-lot structure.
The development includes garden duplexes and upper-level homes with terraces and roof space. Its location between Meserole and Scholes Streets places it in the low-rise residential portion of Williamsburg south of Metropolitan Avenue, close to the Montrose Avenue L station.
Architecture and unit composition
The homes span several configurations. Garden duplexes provide a larger interior footprint and private space behind the building. Upper-level homes can have tall living spaces, mezzanine areas and more than one outdoor area, including a terrace and roof deck.
Typical intermediate-floor homes at 151 are around 835 to 865 square feet. Larger duplex configurations reach approximately 1,220 square feet. Penthouse layouts can extend over multiple levels, with internal stairs linking the main living area to mezzanine or rooftop spaces. The mezzanine is useful supplementary space but should be identified by its approved use, not automatically counted as another bedroom.
Some homes have floor-to-ceiling windows and ceilings reaching approximately 15 feet. Central heating and air conditioning and in-unit washer/dryers are installed in the documented apartment layouts. Access to the upper apartments at 151 is by stairs, which adds the building's common staircase to any internal stairs within a multi-level home.
Building operations
The two addresses share a condominium structure that also includes one commercial tax lot. The residential holdings are dispersed: the largest owner has one of the 15 residences. The commercial ownership and the residences' respective common interests determine how the association allocates expenses; the street entrance does not define a separate condominium budget.
The 421-a benefit began in 2009 under a 25-year program and remains active on the 2027 roll. Its remaining term is a material part of the property's tax position. A benefit's scheduled phaseout can change the taxable amount before the program ends, so the active designation should not be read as a promise of unchanged taxes throughout the remaining years.

Market read. Most recent trades (2025) cleared a median $949/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount -2.4% over ask.

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.
