At a time when neighborhoods in northern Brooklyn have become desirable and even preferred alternatives to Manhattan, a building boom seems to be taking place in South Brooklyn. The latest proof of that can be found at 2222-2226 Ocean Avenue in Midwood: The two townhouses formerly on-site have been demolished, and sales have just launched at Alexandra House, the condominium that rose in its place. The eight-story building designed by Dan Ionescu Architects towers over its neighbors, but a tasteful brick facade makes it more congruous with its surroundings. A setback at the top allows for a common roof terrace.
Listings at Alexandra House start at $393K for studios, $516K for one-beds, $657K for two-beds, and $879K for three-beds. At an average of $718 per square foot, this is quite a bargain compared to the Brooklyn average condo price of $1,113 per square foot (per CityRealty data). And if its sold-out neighbors like The Ocean, Onyx Square, and The Tresor show, demand is high.

Many units have private balconies, and all residences enjoy incredible natural light from the oversized windows.

The open kitchens come outfitted with stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, and a large center island.
A 15-year tax abatement is in effect, and amenities at this doorman building include a fitness center, children’s playroom, lounge, valet service, and storage. Assigned parking spaces are available for an additional fee, but the building is conveniently located up the street from the Kings Highway B/Q subway stop. Closer to home, it is near Marine Park, the Brooklyn Public Library, and the culinary offerings of Kings Highway.
