Carroll Street place looks nice. Seems decently priced for that location too.

I saw 81 Columbia Heights months ago, back in the spring, when it was listed with either BHS or Corcoran. It had gone through a couple of price drops from a high of maybe $1.2M? It is a small 3BR - the master BR is OK-sized, the second BR is OK for a small child, the 3BR/office is not much larger than a walk-in closet. There are spectacular views of the river and Manhattan but they're from the dining room and kitchen. The living room has no windows and feels claustrophobic. It's also hard to place furniture, as there are closet doors and entry doors for all the other rooms opening off the living space. My husband loved the views but you don't live in views; we couldn't get over the awkward layout.

Disagree on the Carroll St. pricing. 2nd br is small, maint. is high, and I suspect it's a walkup. In this market that should be priced lower.

The apartment on Columbia Heights has been on the market one year. The seller refuses to realize that the hard market is over. This is the third real estate firm who has the listing.. Brooklyn Bridge Realty must be pretty hard up to have taken the listing.

Seller... the hard market is over, you should have taken the offers you received last Summer

Based on that location the Carroll street looks like a good price unless it is above the third floor.

Carroll street is on 4th floor, it has been on the market for a couple months now.

Did anyone see the 2BR co-op at 15 Berkeley today? We meant to stop by but couldn't. The comments about the Carroll Street 2BR make me curious what others here think of the $649K asking at 15 Berkeley b/c it's smaller than Carroll. We did see the $925K 3BR condo on 4th street. It was too small for the price we thought.

I think Carroll Street is high - because it's 4th floor walkup. A broker told me part of the reason it has been on the market is because the co-op board doesn't allow pets of any kind because a child in the building has allergies. Having neighbors THAT entitled is a big turn-off in my book.

I wonder what made that family so valuable that they'd allow them to move in and exclude a huge part of the market like that? even if I didn't have a pet why would I spend my money on a property so someone could tell me that if my kid wanted a pet somewhere down the line they could never have on because of someone else's brat? what makes their kid more important than anyone elses? they better get that kid some airborne or something...

I guess banning pets because of your child, though ridiculous and selfish, is part of the way co-ops work. IMHO the parents need to move to the suburbs - they obviously don't understand the concept of urban living.

It's a pity - because that's a lovely apartment.

any one seen the apartment at 110 clifton place that corcoran is showing(web id: 852044) it seems nice, but is it worth $524 a SF? they are asking $629K for a 1200 SF 2 beds, 2 baths plus mezz. spaces 14' ceilings & roof rights.

Some people might consider a child's health more important than someone else's choice to have a pet. Since when did "urban living" mean your neighbor's child dies or gets miserably sick so that you can have a dog?

"any one seen the apartment at 110 clifton place that corcoran is showing(web id: 852044)"

Ya, saw it. The building has loads of problems. Toilets were installed wrong, windows leak & worst of all, the Garden level apts flood when it rains hard!!! That apt listed on corcoran has already been renovated twice due to flood damage & because of poor repairs by the building mgmt it will need to probobly need to be done again after the first hard rain fall...
