135 Ashland Pl

This 15-story cooperative was built in 1953 and offers primarily one- and two-bedroom apartments. The building is part of the larger Kingsview Homes gated community along the western edge of Fort Greene Park. Residents benefit from elevators, a staffed security entrance, and on-site management with full-time maintenance. Shared amenities include laundry and recycling rooms per building, storage options, covered bike storage, playground, landscaped gardens and a courtyard with pond. There is an on-site parking program (wait list) and garage parking availability across the complex. Interiors commonly feature high ceilings, formal entrance foyers, walk-in and plentiful closets, formal dining areas or dining alcoves, galley kitchens with pantry space, chandeliers or decorative lighting, and original details such as parquet floors in some units. The community enforces board approval for purchases and a minimum down payment; co-op rules restrict pets in many listings and place limits on subletting. Transit access is excellent with multiple subway lines and the LIRR close by. Fort Greene Park, cultural venues like BAM, Barclays Center, and downtown Brooklyn shopping and markets are all within easy reach, making outdoor time, arts and quick commutes everyday options.
