Don't think so.

it is most certainly in brooklyn heights.

look at a map buddy.

Oh please! 53 Boerum Place is in Downtown Brooklyn. One could argue that it's in Boerum Hill, but I'm not convinced that's even a real neighborhood.

Brooklyn Heights ends at Court Street.

Read any book on Brooklyn

Guest at 12:54, maybe YOU should look at a map. The eastern border of Brooklyn Heights is Court Street. This building is on the other side of Adams Street. That's Downtown Brooklyn, no matter what a broker might've told you otherwise.

who cares? it already sold.

not like someone is trying to pull the wool over someone's eyes.

Although we (I live accross the street) call it downtown Brooklyn, it is actually in Boerum Hill (boundary is on south side of Schermerhorn to Court).

everyone likes to make fun of Brooklyn Heights until it comes tme to list their property then Brooklyn Heights stretches practically to the Pratt campus.

i don't agree, 1:39.

i think most people moving into downtown brooklyn would rather tell people they live there than brooklyn heights.

no one by my grandma wants to say they live in brooklyn heights.

anyone under 40 would prefer boreum hill, downtown brooklyn, clinton hill, etc.

your thinking is a bit outdated.

they are just names with no real borders -
More importantly - what did it sell for originally?

Posted by: guest at November 30, 2007 1:47 PM

I think the offering plan was about $595K for these in 2004. They are small.

Posted by: guest at November 30, 2007 1:57 PM

Believe me when I make my move to Downtown Brooklyn from Brooklyn Heights, I will tell anybody that asks that I live in Downtown Brooklyn.

You're a nosewipe.

Posted by: guest at November 30, 2007 2:25 PM

NOT A NOSEWIPE!!!!

such a potty mouth you have.

Posted by: guest at November 30, 2007 2:30 PM

1:46, you are a moronic hipster douche. Brooklyn Heights is one of New York's finest neighborhoods. You WISH you lived there...

Posted by: guest at November 30, 2007 2:30 PM

I don't wish actually.

I live in Park Slope and have no interest in Brooklyn Heights.

Sorry.

I agree that it's a nice neighborhood, but I simply don't agree that everyone in Brooklyn "till Pratt" as you say wants to label it as Brooklyn Heights.

I'd argue that you are the douche.

And probably win.

Posted by: guest at November 30, 2007 2:37 PM

just park slope douches trying to downplay the REAL nicest neighborhood in brooklyn.

God, I'd read this blog more often if the commenters were grown-ups. "You're nabe wears combat boots! My nabe can beat up your nabe!" Good-bye.

Seriously, downtown brooklyn is as charming as the spawn of a parking lot and a suburban office park. I won't even walk down Court north of Atlantic, let alone venture over towards Boreum Place. Yeck! I'll just keep on enjoying the prettiest neighborhood in the city with your grandma, who really was something before electricity, making fourteen dollars the hard way.

Posted by: guest at November 30, 2007 2:52 PM

I think you're confused - The statment about venturing down Court, taken in context to the observations of how charming the Heights are how fugly Downtown is, was directed to the physical aesthetics of Downtown, not the darker color of the skin of its denziens and thier menancing perception in the mind of Joe Whitey of Willow Street or whatever other misinterpretation you made. But really, walking down Boreum Place is like strolling Park Ave. I love dodging the cars speeding from the bridge towards Atlantic and seeing no trees. And the KFCs, DD's, McDs, cell phone stores, Duane Reades and sidewalk tables of Court are truly delightful. Enjoy your negative equity in a few years. Assclown.

Worst. Thread. Ever.

The average Joe or Maryjane may think they are board less neighborhoods. But the broker should have used the term.

Brooklyn Heights Vicinity. This is not wool pulling it misleading and a lie.

Six or seven blocks, going east on the other side of Flatbush Ave. at the end of Tillery Street, outside of the historic district and calling it Brooklyn Heights is misleading and a lie.

There was a time when the New York Attorney Generals office would protect the public from misleading ads like this. I guess they are hearing the public say we don't care we will just sell it for more money to the next sucker.

Please don't even tell anyone your from Brooklyn.
