544 88th Street is an intimate postwar co-op in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn — a six unit, three story walk up built in 1980 on a residential block of 88th Street. Homes in buildings this small rarely reach the market, and they offer something larger elevator co-ops can’t: a private, house like scale of ownership where you know every neighbor by name.
The building is self managed by its shareholders, with no superintendent or doorman — a structure that keeps monthly costs lean and gives owners a direct say in how the building runs. Maintenance covers water, sewer, and real estate taxes, with each home paying its own gas and electric. Homes have laundry in unit — a genuine rarity in Bay Ridge co-ops — with basement storage and a shared backyard with a barbecue area. Cats are welcome (dogs are not permitted), and subletting is permitted with restrictions, so confirm the current policy with the board.
The location is classic Bay Ridge. The 86th Street shopping strip and the shops and restaurants of Third and Fifth Avenues are nearby, with the Shore Road waterfront a few blocks away. For getting around, the R train at 86th Street is nearby, with express bus service to Manhattan close at hand — a straightforward commute from a quiet block.
