No, it's not a dorm. These condo units at Avenue V and West 11th Street just hit the market. Asking prices range from $429k. They're a block away from the Marlboro projects.
Listen, Brooklyn developers, can I get a word with you over here? Ok, good. Now, let’s keep it real. Sometimes – sometimes - you’re a friggin’ idiot. What? No! Don’t get offended, but it’s true. Like, you know, lacking common sense. I mean, you bought an entire block some years ago on Avenue V and West 11th Street with the intention of building some high-end condos. I know, I know – everyone was doing it. There’s money to be made, I get it. But, well, it’s just that not everyone does it a block down from the projects, know what I mean? What? I don’t care how good the market was back then, that’s just dumb. Those projects ain’t goin’ anywhere. It’s the Marlboro projects – been there since ’58 and has almost 4,000 people living there. They not movin’. You really thought people would want to shell out $429,000 and up for your parquet floors, elegant kitchens, and ambient gunshots in the background? Get real, man. Yeah, at least you put indoor parking. But holy fuck, man, really?

I like the building – at least the photo of the building. And I like the scale. It’s only 5 stories tall when most of the new condos around here are bigger.
But where is it? Your photo caption says Ave V and West 11 – but your article says Ave V and East 11. Must be a very big block you fucking idiot!
Whoops! West 11th Street!
Thanks for the taste of my own medicine. It was delicious.
I’m not so sure they’re totally off the mark here. It’s a funny thing, go north of 86th Street and it’s a different world there. People didn’t run away when the Marlboro projects were built. There were occasional tensions but for the most part whatever problems were taking place in the projects stayed in the projects. Of course, Gravesend was a neighborhood back then that knew how to take care of its own. A lot of people who grew up there in my time have moved elsewhere. The new population has to learn how to co-exist and minimize problems.
At any rate, it’s a rather ugly complex, which is hardly a surprise, regardless of where it was built.
You know, what I like about these new condos is……………………………………………………………………………………………..
wow, did they photoshop white people in this pic?
Living next to the projects is the new “killing it”. You guys do not know what you are missing out on….
well, at least its right by L&B
you’re all a bunch of fuckin idiots; it’s on Ave X across from L&B- MORONS!!!!
Avenue X is two blocks away from L&B’s.
I have to completely disagree. I used to live two blocks from this new condo and it’s a pretty decent area.
I would say it’s an average to above-average neighborhood and quite safe. I never heard of any major safety isssues.
Yes, there are nearbly projects, but the Marlboro Projects are pretty decent by project standards. I knew two people there, and they were normal folks living normal lives. I visited a few times and didn’t feel unsafe or anything.
And even if there are issues at Marlboro, I don’t think it would really affect nearby areas. The Marlboro folks tend to stay in their area.
hilarious post… lol
maybe it’s good these lux. condos moved by the Marlboro projects. I can totally see both sides inviting each other to tupperware parties and borrowing each other’s sugar.
OK the woman on the left has a little dog.
What the hell is that on the right?
Big ass dog or small horse w/jockey?
In New York City, it’s the nature of the beast that all sorts of neighborhoods and building are intermingled. There is just so much space and we all want to live in/on a piece of it, so why not a condo near public housing?
What don’t you get? This is the 1st step of Gentrification… Who ever moves into those condos are the pioneers of the neighborhood… Has anyone realized that C.I. is going to get a major overhaul very very soon… And the point of this building is that they’re going to revitalize the entire surrounding neighborhood(s) not make it like Atlantic City where its Casinos/Hotels then the projects… Coney’s comin back and when its all said and done anything near it is going to be big time money… As for the 4 thousand residents in the Marlboro houses they’re going to be forced to move out when they can’t afford rent anymore… Wait and see
Funny, I figured it was terraces being perched across busy 86th Street from crowded-at-all-hours Spumoni Gardens that would have made those units unattractive… Maybe there’s a niche square slice-lover the developer can tap into?
Wow who would actually want to live all the way out SHEEPSHEAD BAY?
Apparently a lot of people do. Otherwise we wouldn’t be seeing so much growth here.
Wow!!! I didn’t know the condo got that much interest and we just put it on the market. Thank you for all the free advertising.
We had another condo complex for sale about 5 years back on 86th street and west 6th. everybody was saying exactly the same thing: Marlboro projects, who is going to live there… The condos sold out. And you know who is living there? People.
The guy who wrote the article seems really bitter. What bit him in the ass? Maybe he can’t afford a condo?
Anyway, the condos are really beautiful, the layouts are great and the quality is excellent. Will they sell? Only time will tell.
You can see all the details at Fillmore.com. You can also e-mail me at the thecornelia@gmail.com.
Thank you all.

Angela, the tone of the article was sarcastic.

[...] marketing trend in our area that labels any piece o’ junk “luxury.” There was the luxury condo that, well, wasn’t. There was the luxury day care center that certainly wasn’t. And now [...]
