Over at 423 Smith, they’re bemoaning being priced out of a location that they thought was in reach:

Mostly disappointed with the buildings going up in the neighborhood, I thought the condos going up on Luquer Street (between Smith and Court) to be acceptable and could see myself living there. And then I saw the prices! $1,095,000.00 for a 1 bedroom, 2 bath? Holy Jeebus! Granted, that’s the most expensive unit and you can get a 2 bedroom, 1 bath for $650,000.00 – but even that still seems ridiculous to me for this end of Carroll Gardens. Don’t get me wrong, I love all of Carroll Gardens and would gladly move from my Union Street apartment to Luquer (closer to work!) but I think I’d rather spend my 1 mil on a brownstone.

We agree with the sentiment, but unfortunately $1 million ain’t gonna go too far in the Carroll Gardens brownstone market either.
