820 Ocean Pkwy

A mid-century, six-story co-op on Brooklyn’s Ocean Parkway, completed in 1961, containing 34 units that range from one- to three-bedroom layouts. The building’s masonry façade and tree-lined setting reflect the era’s residential scale; large setbacks and a landscaped front garden create a measured, suburban-in-the-city feel. Interiors commonly feature original woodwork and parquet or hardwood floors, with many units updated to include renovated kitchens, modern appliances, recessed lighting, and expanded storage such as multiple double closets and walk-in options. Building systems support daily living with two recently upgraded elevators (Sabbath mode), two central laundry rooms, a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent and porter, 24/7 camera security, and on-site package/partial concierge handling. Outdoor and shared spaces include a private courtyard/garden, balconies on some apartments, bicycle storage, and a staffed indoor parking garage available by waitlist and modest monthly fee. Maintenance packages typically cover heat, water, cooking gas, and certain taxes, contributing to predictably low monthly carrying costs. The co-op permits cats but generally restricts dogs; subletting policies are managed by board rules. Located at the border of Kensington, Midwood and Ditmas Park, the building offers direct access to Ocean Parkway’s multiuse path and nearby F, B and Q subway lines, supermarkets, and neighborhood retail corridors that support an active, transit-oriented Brooklyn lifestyle.
