they’ve taken down the scaffolding at the vermeil and they have added a ton of copper to the garage area that faces sterling.
the cornice has been added and they have started to brownstone the facade of the older building section of the vermeil.
i think it looks quite nice. certainly better than any of the other new construction projects i see going up in park slope.
they had some problems it seemed, but they now look to have their act together. it sat and sat with little work done for months, but they now look to be making a race for the finish.
glad to see it. that corner looks much nicer now.
kensington is nice but the housing stock is no where near what it is in park slope.
comparing the two is kinda absurd.
park slope is the largest intact enclave of historic late 19th century homes in the united states.
kensington is much more modest.
Kensington is a cute area, but it’s for couples looking for an affordable house to buy. It’s NOT for young, single renters. Young singles need to be near peers and near places to go out or they’ll be lonely and bored out of their skulls. And stay single forever.
I’m not sure in what universe it would be cheaper to buy in Kensington… but what’s more interesting is, all of those prices are MUCH cheaper than buying something comparable in the Slope.
if you pay more than $2500 for a two bed in park slope you’re either living in a gigantic apartment or you’re stupid
I like Kensington, but it is seriously lacking in amenities compared to Park Slope. That said, most of the prices listed above are laughably high, as a quick walk around to the neighborhood realtors will prove.
Because not everyone wants to live in Kensington – Thats why.
these prices are more than the cost of a mortgage and maintenance in near-by nabes like Kensington. Why would you pay so much if you can live nearby, own something and pay less?
THese prices are laughable
