A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 394 Lincoln 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.
394 Lincoln Place is a four-story limestone cooperative with a shared side yard, set one block north of Eastern Parkway. The 23-residence building offers prewar one- and two-bedroom layouts with sizeable entrance foyers, windowed kitchens and multiple exposures. It is a walk-up, with the largest top-floor plans reached by the common stairs.
The building occupies a Prospect Heights block near the Brooklyn Museum and Brooklyn Botanic Garden. The Eastern Parkway–Brooklyn Museum subway station provides nearby service, and Washington Avenue forms the eastern end of the block. A side yard supplies common outdoor space at the building itself.
The apartments retain features such as parquet floors, ceiling moldings and generous windows. Renovations have introduced open kitchens and in-unit laundry into some homes. Several layouts have windows in every room, including the kitchen and bathroom.
Architecture and unit composition
The one-bedroom inventory includes corner plans with two or three exposures. A substantial entry foyer separates the front door from the main living area and can hold a desk, storage or seating. In some layouts, the living room also accommodates dining; others retain an eat-in kitchen.
Two-bedroom homes provide a larger footprint within the same four-story building. Some have windows facing both east and west, with bedrooms separated from the main living and dining space. Upper-floor apartments can have fewer neighboring windows immediately opposite their exposures, while street-facing rooms overlook Lincoln Place.
Kitchen arrangements vary from enclosed, windowed rooms to kitchens opened to the living area. Bathrooms with windows and original wood floors remain in parts of the inventory. Individual renovations have added split-system cooling and laundry equipment, so those features should be treated as apartment-specific improvements.
The shared yard runs alongside the building. It is separate from the basement rooms used for laundry, bicycles and individual storage. The cooperative also accommodates stroller parking in the lobby.
Building operations
The cooperative uses a part-time superintendent and professional management. A central laundry room remains available alongside the permitted in-unit installations. Basement storage and a bicycle room supplement the closets inside the apartments; the availability of an individual storage space can change with occupancy.
The tax lot is Class 2 and has no recorded property-tax abatement. R7A/R8X zoning allows more residential floor area than the building currently contains, but that gap isn't an approved enlargement or a shareholder's right to add space.

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.
