Several paragraphs into Jeff Van Dam’s love letter to Cobble Hill come some market data points that, frankly, surprised us a little. Guess we haven’t been paying close enough attention. In addition to the 13-footer that recently sold for $1.75 million, it was news to us that townhouses south of Atlantic have been going into contract north of $4 million. Can anyone point us to some concrete examples? The article also made much ado about P.S. 29, a prekindergarten-through-fifth-grade program that ranks among the best in the city. There must be some readers out there whose kids go, or have gone, there. We’d love to hear your take on it.
