We were combing through new listings yesterday when we came across this unfortunate specimen at 422 Prospect Avenue in the South Slope. We sorta (but not really) understand when atrocities like this get built in lower-priced neighborhoods but surely a 25-foot-wide plot in the South Slope (though this is admittedly not the nicest part of the nabe) could have justified something just a little better than this place. It’s a cryin’ shame.

  1. believe it or not chinese immigrants would pay 100k more if they were in a working class neighbourhood for these type of houses. you guys might hate them, but some groups love them LOL>

  2. Grumpy and DIBS are on the $ here. While the setback is horrible – the look of the house is on par with at least half the block and with Parking, a roof deck and decent location – it will sell.

  3. “Look at the ugly ass monster…belongs in ENY or Bushwick. This is an atrocity”

    I’m a born and bred New Yorker- and it means a bit more than that.

  4. exactly why I take offense to his comments. Crown heights has also been attacked like this. I’m tired of these people puffed up with themselves thinking it’s ok to dump on less wealthy neighborhoods.
