the house on ocean sold quickly and wend for over $950k i’ve heard.
Alan – thanks for making the point that I’ve made repeatedly on this site. Park Slope is a let down after the elementary years. Families wishing to stay public would do well to move to Victorian Flatbush, for all the reasons you cited.
My pet peeves are cars with booming stereos blasting at all hours (windows down in winter so the music can be shared)+ dog owners who don’t pooper scoop + litterers (amzing to see people drop trash with a garbage can 10-15 feet away) + people who walk around talking into their cellphone headsets so they we can hear their really interesting conversations. It’s not kids doing this, so there is plenty of rudeness to go around.
I adore brick, lime and brown but the truth of the matter is while each exemplify a different kind of beauty, the price factor will be determined by the following: condition, style, location, etc. So 4:59pm, to say the limes on Ocean will be a LOT pricier than 185 could be easily challenged. But one can understand certainly that biased opinion can sometimes influence one’s thinking.
To the idiot who is flooding this thread with random old posts from brooklynian.com (like the one above from January). What do you want? What will it take to get you to move on? Why is your life so empty that you find pleasure in being such a creepy annoyance?
I saw the Ocean Ave house. The place was jammed packed with people, so it was a bit crazy and hard to take a good look. But over all it’s a nice house in good shape. The exterior needs some work and needs to be re pointed. The owners unit is nice with a open living room and dining room, the floors need to be refinished. Ikea kitchen. The 2 bathrooms are ok, one certainly could live with them. The third floor ceilings had some old water damage.
I did not stick around to see the rental unit. We could not see the basement. Huge yard and it does back the subway but since the lot is 150 ft’ it is not bad at all, I did not even hear it or notice it till I went out on the back deck.
Over all it’s a nice house that needs work, but from what I could see nothing too major…
Do people agree that the food is good? I went for dinner once when the place was new, and the food was so bad that I never went back. It was just pizza, but it was the worst pizza I’d ever had outside of a school cafeteria. If they’ve improved, I’d give it another try.
I agree with the earlier posts criticizing the PS 321 hype in the slope. I’m not sure why but somehow it was deleted by Brownstoner along with other related comments. In any event, I echo the sentiment that there should be no 321 premium in Park Slope for primary school when the area is also zoned for crappy mid and secondary schools, e.g., John Jay High School is horrible. Many families move into Park Slope with children beyond primary school age or just about to enter mid and secondary school. What are their choices? If there’s a PS 321 premium in Park Slope, shouldn’t there be a John Jay discount too? I think it’s a legitimate question. If you look at public education in Brooklyn from K to 12th grade, Midwood is far superior to Park Slope in almost every respect. It’s not even a photo finish. Yes, if you’re zoned for 321, by all means send your children there. However, just be prepared to feed them to the lions after the 6th grade.
did anyone actually go to the ocean ave open house? i’m actually curious as to what it was like.
