525 Ocean Pkwy

A six-story cooperative completed in 1963, this midrise elevator building occupies a residential block along Ocean Parkway in Kensington, Brooklyn. The masonry façade and regularly spaced windows present a restrained, mid‑century urban apartment house appearance; many residences feature private outdoor spaces ranging from small balconies to larger terraces. Interiors commonly include eat‑in kitchens, formal dining areas or dining alcoves, parquet or refinished hardwood floors, and updated kitchens and baths in renovated units. The property offers a renovated lobby, a recently upgraded elevator, laundry facilities at lobby level, a bike room, and a roof deck for residents. Building services include a part‑time doorman and a live‑in superintendent; on‑site management maintains a waitlist for indoor garage parking. Pet policies vary by unit and offering—cats are frequently permitted while dogs are often restricted or require board approval. Maintenance fees typically cover heat and hot water; the co‑op has a history of pragmatic capital projects and an active board with standard resale requirements and modest flip‑tax provisions. Located steps from the F, Q, B and G lines, the building provides immediate access to Cortelyou Road and Ditmas Avenue shops, Prospect Park, and Ocean Parkway’s landscaped boulevard and bike path.
