A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Lexington Council Condominium 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.
Lexington Council Condominium is a fifteen-apartment prewar conversion with loft interiors and a shared planted roof. The 1990 conversion predates much of Greenpoint's condominium construction. Its apartment inventory runs from compact homes to substantially larger duplexes within the same older building.
Exposed structural elements and tall interior spaces distinguish some of the larger homes. The roof provides a shared outdoor area with open views toward Manhattan and the East River. The building also uses the address 88 Meserole Avenue.
Architecture and unit composition
Recorded apartment sizes vary from approximately 520–550 square feet at the compact end to roughly 1,400–1,500 square feet for larger homes. Intermediate layouts around 750–1,000 square feet broaden the inventory further. The smaller apartments and the duplex category have materially different proportions and internal circulation.
Loft interiors can retain wood columns and beams. In selected duplexes, double-height rooms rise to approximately eighteen feet, with a separate level reached by an internal stair. Large windows illuminate the deeper living areas. Renovated homes may have central climate control and in-unit laundry, while older interiors have different equipment and finishes.
The planted roof is common outdoor space. Its position above the surrounding streets opens longer views than the lower apartments themselves have. Residential interiors have been altered over the years, so the condominium contains a mixture of original conversion arrangements and later renovations.
Building operations
A common laundry room serves the fifteen apartments. The shared roof includes planting, which makes drainage, waterproofing and landscape upkeep part of its continuing maintenance. Those costs concern the association as a whole.
All fifteen tax lots are residential, and no single owner holds more than one apartment in the current ownership count. There is no recorded tax abatement. The property is not designated, despite its age and prewar appearance.
Policy framework

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.
