A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 328 Sterling 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.
328 Sterling Place is a five-story elevator cooperative with 25 residences on the Prospect Heights block between Vanderbilt and Underhill avenues. Built in 1931, it retains a brick exterior and period lobby details. Its apartments include one-, two- and three-bedroom plans, with windowed kitchens and older wood floors recurring through the inventory.
The building sits close to Grand Army Plaza and the northern edge of Prospect Park. Vanderbilt Avenue supplies the nearest commercial corridor, while the apartment entrances remain on Sterling Place. Elevator access gives upper-floor homes a different daily route from the walk-up apartments common in the surrounding low-rise stock.
This is an established cooperative with repeated resales, but a sponsor apartment also sold in 2024. The ownership history therefore includes both shareholder resales and the later disposition of retained sponsor inventory. The terms of a sponsor transaction should not be carried over automatically to a shareholder sale.
Architecture and unit composition
The building has a broad, low-rise frontage and a central shared circulation system. Its brick façade and lobby provide the common prewar framework; apartment interiors have been renovated at different times. Original doors, hardwood or parquet flooring and relatively tall ceilings remain in some homes.
One-bedroom layouts include apartments around 700 square feet. Two-bedroom plans vary in their proportions and in whether the bedrooms sit close together or on opposite sides of the living area. Some kitchens remain separate and windowed, while others open to the main room through a breakfast counter. Windowed bathrooms also occur in the inventory.
The three-bedroom homes add another enclosed room while retaining a single bathroom in documented plans. A top-floor front apartment has broad exposures and a larger arrangement of bedrooms. Its room count is a meaningful difference from the compact two-bedroom layouts, even though both occupy the same building envelope.
Storage is distributed through entry closets, bedroom closets and, in some homes, overhead cabinetry or hallway storage. Those built-in elements affect usable room dimensions. In-unit laundry is present in some apartments, including a documented vented installation, while other homes use the common laundry room.
The orientation of the rooms also varies by apartment line. Some homes combine southern living-room and bedroom exposures with a north-facing kitchen; others have east-facing rooms. A rear or side kitchen window can provide light without sharing the outlook of the main room. Renovation choices have changed internal connections between rooms while the position of the exterior windows remains fixed.
Building operations
A part-time superintendent and managing agent support building operations. Shared facilities include laundry and bicycle storage, with basement storage cages offered separately. Availability and any storage charge should be confirmed for the apartment being purchased. The elevator serves a modest five-story building, and its upkeep is shared across the cooperative's residential inventory.
The roof, façade and hot-water heater had been updated by 2023.
The entire residential property is taxed as Class 2, without an active building-wide abatement. Zoning allows more floor area than is built, but that gap isn't an approved expansion. Work affecting the common building or roof would require the cooperative's participation as well as the applicable city approvals.
Policy framework
Pets: Cats and dogs are permitted, subject to approval — confirm with the managing agent.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-01171-0048) and verified listing data.

Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price.

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.
