A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 205 Park Place 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.
205 Park Place is a Renaissance Revival apartment house designed by Thomas Bennett for Louis Bonert around 1901. Its curved window bays and stone façade give the sixteen-residence cooperative a substantial street presence within a four-story envelope. The building is part of the Prospect Heights Historic District.
The cooperative has both a shared roof deck and a landscaped backyard. Its common entrance and stair serve sixteen homes, including one-bedroom apartments.
Architecture and unit composition
LPC describes a brick-and-limestone building with a brownstone basement. The projecting bays rise through the façade, while the entrance has a stone surround with pilasters and foliate capitals. An arched window marks the center of the top story. A galvanized-iron cornice incorporates brackets, dentils and an arched central section.
Period interior details include wood floors, moldings, decorative fireplace mantels and pocket doors. Bay windows create projecting living spaces at the front. High ceilings recur in the apartments, but renovations have changed kitchens and room arrangements over time.
Several smaller homes are approximately 700–740 square feet. Outdoor common areas are shared by the cooperative; the roof deck and backyard are building amenities.
Building operations
205 Park Place is self-managed. Common facilities include central laundry and basement storage for household items and bicycles. The backyard has planting and charcoal grills, while the roof provides a second outdoor gathering area at the opposite end of the building's vertical circulation.
The four-story structure is a walk-up. The top-floor apartments and roof deck depend on stair access. There is no building-wide property-tax abatement, and the cooperative's exterior falls under historic-district oversight.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-01158-0069) 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.
