280 Ocean Pkwy

A six-story prewar cooperative completed in 1941, this boutique Ocean Parkway block building contains 23 units predominantly configured as one-bedroom apartments with occasional larger layouts. The façade and lobby reflect classic 1940s details; inside many residences retain original moldings, arched entryways, high ceilings, hardwood or parquet floors, and generous foyer spaces. Units vary from recently gut-renovated homes with modern kitchens and windowed baths to traditionally finished apartments showcasing built-in shelves and stained-glass transoms. Common areas include a landscaped front lawn and a formal entrance lobby, a recently refreshed community room, a large central laundry, and two bicycle rooms. Storage lockers and additional storage are available for rent subject to waitlists. Building operations are notable for a live-in superintendent, updated elevators, new windows, and an upgraded intercom system; heat, water, and cooking gas are included in maintenance. The pet policy permits cats only; dogs are not allowed. There is a modest temporary capital assessment in place through January 2026. Situated on a tree-lined corridor between Church and Beverley Road transit nodes, the property sits two blocks from Prospect Park and within walking distance of Cortelyou Road and Church Avenue shopping and dining. Proximity to multiple subway lines (F, G, Q and nearby B) and bike paths supports easy commuting and outdoor recreation, while nearby Green-Wood Cemetery and neighborhood retail create a quietly residential Kensington character.
