The Crest, 302 Second Street

The curved top of the building changes the geometry of its upper apartments. Lower plans use more conventional rectangular rooms, while the upper façade produces angled or curved living-room edges and different window arrangements. A floor plan is especially useful for understanding how furniture fits near that exterior wall.

Private balconies appear on multiple lines. They extend the living area outdoors, with exposure determined by the position of the apartment around the building. Some upper homes have wider views over adjoining roofs. Outdoor space is an apartment-specific feature and does not accompany every residence.

The recorded apartment inventory includes homes of roughly 540 to 1,000 square feet. Many have an open kitchen connected to the principal living space; in-unit laundry is also present. Individual renovations have changed finishes since the original sales, so there is no single current kitchen or bathroom specification across the condominium.

DOB's original new-building job was signed off in 2012, and a later alteration job was signed off in 2023. These are distinct construction milestones within a building whose city-record construction year is 2006.

Entry is supported by a virtual-doorman system and a resident superintendent. The shared fitness room opens to an adjoining outdoor patio. Garage parking is a separate practical consideration for buyers: its inclusion, allocation and recurring charges need to be established for the particular purchase.

The condominium includes residential tax lots and one commercial tax lot. Residential owners pay apartment property taxes separately from common charges. The commercial component's share of common expenses follows the condominium's allocation, so the building is not operated solely through an undivided residential budget.

The existing built floor-area ratio exceeds the present residential allowance shown for its zoning. That comparison does not itself establish a violation; it does make an assumption of easy future expansion inappropriate. Any addition would depend on the building's lawful development history and applicable approvals.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $1,473/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 -1.4% over ask.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-00974-7504; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.
