2,000 square feet, $1.2MM dollars, coop or condo

What if you were in the market for a 2,000 square foot apartment and had about $1.2MM to spend? Would you buy a condo in leafy Clinton Hill, or a coop on Eastern Parkway, a block away from Prospect Park? Interesting choices here.

The condo is a huge full-floor of a brownstone with an interesting layout to say the least. Asking $1.25MM and monthly maintenance of $613 and $367 in RE taxes.

The coop is a rambling corner unit with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms with a serious chef's kitchen: Subzero fridge, Bosch dishwasher, Dacor stove, Zephyr hood and a 750-bottle wine fridge. 20% down payment required and $907 monthly common charges.
