A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 153 Clinton 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.
153 Clinton Avenue is a four-story prewar cooperative arranged around a landscaped shared courtyard. It contains sixteen apartments and operates with 149 Clinton Avenue as Clinton Avenue Owners Corp., a thirty-two-home association. The courtyard has planted borders, several seating areas and space for barbecuing.
The building dates to 1900 in city records and was converted to cooperative ownership in 1986. Its apartment-house footprint is approximately 47 feet wide and 90 feet deep, allowing front, rear and courtyard-facing rooms within the same building.
Architecture and unit composition
One- and two-bedroom layouts recur in the resale inventory. Recorded apartment areas include smaller homes around 610 square feet and larger homes around 850 square feet. High ceilings, large windows and open kitchen-living arrangements are common interior features.
Several two-bedroom plans separate the bedrooms across the apartment. Other homes have a larger primary bedroom paired with a smaller room near the entrance. Windowed bathrooms and kitchens appear in the layouts, and exposures vary between street-facing living rooms and rooms overlooking the planted interior spaces.
The courtyard is common space, with seating and barbecue areas available beyond the apartments themselves. Upper-floor homes are reached by stairs. Four floors keep the vertical climb limited, but the top floor still has a different access arrangement from the ground-level residences.
Building operations
Basement facilities include a shared laundry room, bicycle storage and apartment storage lockers. Video intercom serves the entrance, and an off-site superintendent attends to the property. Hot water is included in maintenance — confirm the current allocation with the managing agent.
The two addresses share one cooperative corporation. A buyer at 153 therefore joins an association larger than the sixteen apartments behind its own entrance. Building services and the courtyard are part of that broader cooperative arrangement.
Policy framework
Cats: Permitted — confirm with the managing agent. Subletting: Permitted subject to co-op rules — confirm with the managing agent. Financing: Confirm the current financing limit and minimum down payment with the managing agent. In-unit washer/dryer: Permitted subject to approval — confirm with the managing agent.

Full closing history with price-per-square-foot over time, the complete retrade record, and every line that has traded.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-01888-0002) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.

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.
