Since you guys never make it out of the Manhattan-facing hoods, I'll break it down as to why the prices are so high in Manhattan Beach.
1) Its very, very nice and a stone's throw from Sheepshead Bay and the Beach (which is a beautiful beach)
2) Russians and orthodox Jews have over the past 5+ years been buying up smaller properties, tering them down and putting up mcmansions.
3) Number of properties vs. demand in the hood = high prices.

thanks for acting superior though.

Manhattan Beach = Russian Mafia. Take a look at some of those new Scarface like estates.
Posted by: guest at March 17, 2008 11:41 AM

Are both the beaches public?
Posted by: CobbleHilller at March 17, 2008 11:44 AM

amazing prices!
Posted by: guest at March 17, 2008 11:46 AM
Can the name "Brownstoner.com" be officially changed to "Asshole_Contest.com"? Why are half the posts from assholes?
Posted by: guest at March 17, 2008 11:49 AM
11.49 - the other half are from know-nothings; so take your pick of names.
Posted by: guest at March 17, 2008 11:50 AM
Are you sure that the Fort Greene apartment sold at asking?!?! It was half underground and on the market since July!
Posted by: guest at March 17, 2008 12:00 PM
12:00. If the deed was recorded, that means it sold.
What part of sold do you not understand?
Posted by: guest at March 17, 2008 12:02 PM
1.3 for an apartment in fort green???!! Nice!
Keep waiting for prices too drop people.
Posted by: guest at March 17, 2008 12:05 PM
Hey, Douchy McDouch at 12:02 PM, my question was IF IT SOLD AT ASKING, since I couldn't find the price of the deed on Property Shark.
See 11:49 AM's post above for further clarification.

Ahhhh, there is nothing in Park Slope!!!!

Is it possible to get flood insurance in Manhattan Beach and Sheepshead Bay? If so, the premiums must be staggering...but if you've got the bread to spend that much on the house, I suppose the insurance is a drop in the bucket.
Posted by: guest at March 17, 2008 12:40 PM
that's why there are so few comments, 12:39.
Posted by: guest at March 17, 2008 12:41 PM

Lets make this thread about Park Slope, and then go get some fish and chips at the Chip Shop.
Posted by: guest at March 17, 2008 3:26 PM
I went to Chip Shop yesterday (Atlantic Ave.) As awesome as ever.
Posted by: guest at March 17, 2008 3:42 PM
You were awed by fish and chips?
Posted by: guest at March 17, 2008 4:04 PM
Speaking of Park Slope, I want some YOGO MOSTER!!!!
YUMMO!
Posted by: guest at March 17, 2008 4:12 PM
1.3 million for an 1 apartment i ft. greene? that's insane!
Posted by: guest at March 17, 2008 4:15 PM
It seems as though the highest prices paid for homes in Brooklyn this year were not in Park Slope.
Posted by: guest at March 17, 2008 4:56 PM
Nope, it was in Brooklyn Heights, 4:56.
As it has been for about 150 years now.
Posted by: guest at March 17, 2008 4:59 PM
You'll never see listings per se for places like these in Manhattan Beach, or Borough Park, or the various Chinatowns, or other religious and ethnic enclaves around the city.
It's word of mouth, and unless you're an MOT you really don't want to live there anyway. The prices in no way reflect the real estate but rather the cost of belonging to the community.
Posted by: guest at March 17, 2008 5:09 PM
Nope it was in Gravesend. 10 million for a single family.
Posted by: guest at March 17, 2008 6:19 PM
Nope it was brooklyn heights - 140 Columbia Heights for 10.75 million.
Posted by: guest at March 17, 2008 6:40 PM
Nope it was East New York. The Next Harlem.
Posted by: guest at March 17, 2008 8:34 PM
Is there any record that 140 Columbia Heights actually sold?
Looks like it was listed with two different brokers, price chopped, and then yanked from the market.
Posted by: guest at March 17, 2008 9:42 PM
My understanding of the Washington Park condo is that all of the units have now sold for their asking prices. The $1.395m apartment is a huge duplex and has tons of space, but below grade so it can only be a legal 2BR. The renovation was nicely done, but I still can't believe they got that price for just an apartment and being so close to the projects. That end of Myrtle has a long way to go.

my friend bought 123 coleridge it was not on the market it was an estate sale and has been trying to buy it for about a year and finally got it. one of the others were correct these sales in MB and Gravesend have nothing to do with the market its people with money that want to be in the community near friends and family. by the way he is tearing that house down and building a new one
