820 Ocean Pkwy

A six-story cooperative constructed in 1961, this full-service midrise occupies a tree-lined stretch of Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn. The masonry façade and traditional massing fit the neighborhood scale; interiors retain original wood details alongside periodically updated finishes. Apartment types run mainly one- and three-bedroom plans, many featuring foyers, formal dining areas or dens, recessed lighting, substantial closet storage and hardwood floors. Units on upper floors offer southern exposures and private outdoor spaces such as balconies or terraces. Common facilities are extensive for a midrise: a 24/7 doorman and concierge desk, full-time live-in superintendent and porter, two upgraded elevators (including Sabbath mode), multiple central laundry rooms, bicycle storage, and an indoor parking garage available on a wait list for a monthly fee. The building also maintains a front garden and a private courtyard, controlled-access mail and camera surveillance throughout. Pet policy permits cats but typically not dogs. Located at the crossroads of Kensington, Midwood and Ditmas Park, the building provides frequent access to F, B and Q lines and connects directly to Ocean Parkway’s bike and walking paths leading to Prospect Park. Local conveniences include 24-hour supermarkets, neighborhood dining along Cortelyou and Newkirk Avenues, and nearby cultural destinations like the Brooklyn Museum and Botanical Garden. Maintenance charges commonly include heat, water and some utilities.
