A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 616 Bedford Avenue 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.
616 Bedford Avenue is an established mixed-use condominium in southern Williamsburg, with 14 apartments above nonresidential space. The elevator building spans the address range 614–618 Bedford Avenue and has a wide footprint for a small association. Its residential inventory includes apartments of substantially different sizes, extending from roughly one thousand square feet to larger homes approaching twice that area.
The two nonresidential lots are separate components of the condominium. The residential apartments have their own tax lots and have sold individually over the building's history.
Architecture and unit composition
The six-story structure has a varied distribution of homes by floor. The middle residential floors generally contain three apartments, while the lowest apartment level has larger layouts. The upper inventory also includes larger residences, so a single building-wide average would conceal meaningful differences in usable area.
The apartments that traded in 2025 ranged from roughly 1,100 to 1,240 square feet. Other residential tax lots are substantially larger, including homes around 1,650 to 1,980 square feet. Those measurements establish a broad range of interior scale without establishing bedroom counts or a common floor plan across the building.
Elevator access is part of the residential building. The address lies south of Broadway, with access to the J, M and Z corridor at Marcy Avenue. Its setting is within the established street grid of southern Williamsburg.
Building operations
The condominium has separate residential and nonresidential ownership interests. The largest residential owner holds three of the 14 apartments, or 21 percent, leaving the residential inventory below the majority-owner threshold. That concentration is still relevant to association participation because one owner has several apartment interests.
There is no current building-level tax abatement. The residential lots are Class 2 and the two commercial lots are Class 4, so the two portions of the property have different tax treatment. Shared obligations between those portions depend on the condominium's allocations; buying an apartment does not include ownership of a separate commercial space.
The existing floor area exceeds the residential FAR shown for the R6 district. That is a description of the building's scale relative to current zoning, not an additional residential area available for expansion.

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.
