A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 242 Baltic 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.
242 Baltic Street belongs to Baltic Town, a cooperative covering two adjacent five-story buildings on the same Cobble Hill block. Its housing includes smaller apartments and larger homes assembled through combinations. The buildings share an association while retaining separate entrances and tax lots.
The property sits inside the Cobble Hill Historic District, close to the Court Street commercial corridor. Its prewar form includes tall ceilings, decorative fireplaces and apartments with exposures toward both the street and the rear. Interior lightwells also shape some of the layouts.
Architecture and unit composition
The narrower original apartments and combined homes have different internal circulation. A combination can join living rooms across the front of the building while placing bedrooms and secondary rooms toward the rear. At 242, a central lightwell creates narrow connecting areas beside the principal rooms; these have accommodated kitchens, dens and circulation.
The inventory includes one- and two-bedroom apartments as well as a combined three-bedroom, two-bathroom configuration. Some homes retain decorative fireplace surrounds and wide-plank flooring. Renovations and combinations have changed the original divisions, so the apartment's usable layout is more informative than a repeated assumption of two identical homes on every floor.
Building operations
Baltic Town has a superintendent, basement laundry and bicycle storage. Apartment storage is also available in the basement. Both buildings are walk-ups, with stairs providing daily access to upper-floor residences.
The cooperative's shared corporate obligations extend across the two buildings. Exterior work also falls under the historic district's LPC review requirements.
Policy framework
Pets: Cats permitted; dogs not permitted — confirm with the managing agent. In-unit laundry: Washer and dryer installations permitted — 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 3-00312-0022) 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.
