Sales Launch at 1668 Dean Street, Eight Condos Near Utica Avenue in Crown Heights

Now Selling

Nov 1

1668 Dean Street is an eight-home ground-up condo on Dean Street between Schenectady and Utica Avenues in eastern Crown Heights, where it meets Weeksville. All eight homes are one-bedrooms, and the offering plan prices them from about $495,000 to $950,000, among the most affordable new condos in the neighborhood.

Where Things Stand

The Attorney General accepted the offering plan on June 16, 2026, and the first home listed on September 16, 2026. That listing has since come off the market, and as of November 1, 2026, no homes are publicly listed or in contract. A plan amendment moved the projected first closing to around January 2027.

Buying in a New Development?

New construction works differently than a resale: offering plans, sponsor contracts, closing costs and timelines all have their own rules.

A Closer Look at the Building

This is a four-story walk-up with a small lobby and a video intercom. The homes have open living and dining areas with floor-to-ceiling double-pane windows, 6-inch engineered oak floors, kitchens with quartz counters and backsplashes, custom cabinetry and Thor, Bosch and Café appliances, in-unit washers and dryers, and multi-zone split units for heating and cooling.

Crown Heights Highlights

This is eastern Crown Heights near Utica Avenue, between the Crown Heights North Historic District and Weeksville. The pace is a little quieter than the Franklin Avenue corridor, and the trade-off is value. The Weeksville Heritage Center, one of Crown Heights' most important cultural sites, is in this part of the neighborhood, and Eastern Parkway and the Brooklyn Museum are a manageable trip west.

The A and C at Utica Avenue, about a 5-minute walk
The 3 and 4 at Crown Heights and Utica Avenue, about a 10-minute walk
The Weeksville Heritage Center, a short walk away

Katie's Take

I track every new development in Brooklyn, and here's how this one compares: at about $760 a square foot on its first listing, 1668 Dean Street is the most affordable new development I'm tracking in Crown Heights, a little over half the price per foot of 701 Prospect Place near Franklin Avenue. The trade-off is location farther east and a slow start, with its only listing pulled and nothing in contract yet. For a first-time buyer who wants a brand-new one-bedroom under $1M and is open to the blocks near Utica Avenue, this is one of very few options at this price, so it's worth getting on the list before the homes relist.
