St. Johns between Washington & Classon is Crown Heights, no?

"St. Johns between Washington & Classon is Crown Heights, no?"
Beat me to it. Nice try Corcoran!!
Posted by: dirty_hipster at May 29, 2009 12:46 PM
Prospect Heights can annex that area. it's an ugly area compared to those blocks east of nostrand ave (crown heights north).
would even 50% off be enough of a cut?
Posted by: more4less at May 29, 2009 12:56 PM
Those two in Park slope both look really nice. I could see those easily going for ask or more, especially the one on 6th st.
Posted by: 10thStreetReno at May 29, 2009 1:02 PM
The What is right - someday the war is going to end... and someday Corcoran will stop insulting our intelligence. Pretty soon there won't be anything left of Crown Heights the way they are expanding PH.
Posted by: bkhabitant at May 29, 2009 1:02 PM
That 6th Street place is really cool on the outside!
wow - that's some price chop already - down 600K!!!!
how low can you go?

I think the 9th street house has been on the market for sometime though...

One thing: There is plenty of Assholes left! It will take a long time..
"Prospect Heights can annex that area."
Huh um really, OK! New people to rob..

no pics of the guys working the corner about 10 feet away from the st. johns place?
overall a great area but the corner of st. johns and wash has issues. I would not pay 1.3 mil for a front row seat...
Posted by: oneasternparkway at May 29, 2009 1:15 PM
g10, the 6th st place is real nice but it's a 1 family so only deep pockets could swing the $2M+ price. as we've discuss b4, those deep pockets will be looking for massive discounts (ie may to 1.8M)
Posted by: more4less at May 29, 2009 1:16 PM
Realtors have Park Slope slowly annexing Gowanus and parts of Sunset Park and Windsor Terrace. Prospect Heights is taking over Crown Heights. Fort Greene and Clinton Hill are spreading into Bed Stuy.
Just imagine how far towards Flatbush Ave Crown Heights would extend if it were the hot new neighborhood where everyone wanted to buy.
Posted by: lechacal at May 29, 2009 1:20 PM
I like the 9th Street house. Don't like the 'home office' by the kitchen but a great house. Bet it gets ask. 6th Street ain't bad either.
Posted by: denton at May 29, 2009 1:25 PM
In all fairness this place is very close to the subway on Eastern Parkway and the museum and botanic gardens. And it really wouldn't take long at all to walk to Prospect Park. It's much closer to Prospect Park than the new condos on 4th Ave, for example.
On the other hand, it is still Crown Heights and Corcoran deserves some derision for engaging in neighborhood creep.
And no photo of the facade, so I can't imagine it looks good.
Posted by: lechacal at May 29, 2009 1:26 PM
M4L - I could see it dropping to about 2mil and selling at that price

"Realtors have Park Slope slowly annexing Gowanus and parts of Sunset Park and Windsor Terrace. Prospect Heights is taking over Crown Heights. Fort Greene and Clinton Hill are spreading into Bed Stuy."
it's only a matter of time before they start calling ditmas park tribeca.
Posted by: funkymonkey at May 29, 2009 1:29 PM
if location is comparable, I think the 9th st is better buy than the 6th st house - wider house, good rental unit, more sq ft age
Posted by: more4less at May 29, 2009 1:31 PM
Agree with all about the derision due Corcoran for the neighborhood strrrrrrettccccchhhhing, but I rather like this house and am not sure it is as hugely overpriced as being suggested. Beautiful duplex, gorgeous garden, nice income producing garden level, short walk to the museums and park...
That said, I've not been on this block so cannot speak to its being "sketchy" or not.
Posted by: Nokilissa at May 29, 2009 1:35 PM
I'm no fan of broker's misuse of Prospect Heights designation...but this is far from the worst offense. 467 St John is less than 200 feet from the "official" Eastern border (Washington Ave).
Posted by: arches at May 29, 2009 2:01 PM
448 6th was last listed with Brown Harris Stevens for $2.199 million. So yeah, I guess it makes total sense for Corcoran to now raise the price by $100K. This house has been on the market for over 8 months.
Posted by: bk14 at May 29, 2009 2:09 PM
Doesn't Prospect Heights end at Classon?
What are the boundaries anyway?
Posted by: bedstuy11216 at May 29, 2009 2:17 PM
I don't think prices have hit a floor yet. They still seem too high. This inventory is not selling.
Posted by: sam at May 29, 2009 2:17 PM
bk14 - you are right - I knew I saw it once before

Posted by: gemini10 at May 29, 2009 2:21 PM
Floor is far away. We're only about 10 inches below the ceiling at this point. Pretty much only stuff that's selling are things that are aggressively priced to begin with, and are willing to accept some further concessions from buyers expecting deep discounts. I'm one of them, and I'm holding my cash until I find a *real* value, not one of these ridiculously priced properties brokers like Corco slap "value" on and think the mere designation makes a difference (even when the price is barely discounted...). Can't wait til the wintertime!
Posted by: Miss Muffett at May 29, 2009 2:24 PM
don't dive, muff, or at least wait till you see a good trim. if you're patient, it'll go down on you and you won't have to take a bath.
Posted by: joe_the_bummer at May 29, 2009 2:46 PM
9th St. is very nice, but every house on that street gets vibrations from the subway. Plus, there's a lot of traffic -- and I can't tell what school zone this is in.
Posted by: Lesloaf at May 29, 2009 2:49 PM
On that Park Slope house those brokers need to add more photos to the listing and perhaps less blonde coloring to their hair.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at May 29, 2009 2:53 PM
Not true about the train vibrations on 9th street--varies greatly from home to home. No idea why.
There is more traffic than on the one-ways, though much less once you hit 6th avenue and leave the commercial zone. The upside of the traffic is less crime--nobody tries to break into a house or car when there's cars and, more importantly, foot traffic around. They'll go to one of the one-way streets for that.
Posted by: bkrules at May 29, 2009 2:57 PM
Typing from iPhone in car. If ninth at goes for 1.8 million and rental is 3500 per month then mortgage for owners triplex is what maybe 3500 or 4000? That's not out of line with rental prices. Maybe we are close to a bottom. Places are in the 300s in some areas like ocean hill which means they're cheaper than renting. Flippers are buying them.
Posted by: mopar at May 29, 2009 2:59 PM
Personally, I think the St. John's house looks pretty great. Not the greatest block but the proximity to the park, museum etc. is terrific.
As a CH resident, I must say that CH is pretty vast compared to Prospect Heights with or without the block between Washington and Classon, and this block probably relates more to Prospect Heights anyway in terms of neighborhood feel (i.e., in my opinion, Prospect Heights doesn't seem like much of a cohesive neighborhood at all but rather a sort of borderland). While the realtor obviously thinks Prospect Heights has more cache (read: whiter), in another sense it would probably be a bit misleading to suggest that this house is within what CH-ers view as Crown Heights (grand historic residences and churches, etc.)

Those kitchen cabinets in the 9th st place are a killer. Must be costing them $100K in price right now.

"don't dive, muff, or at least wait till you see a good trim. if you're patient, it'll go down on you and you won't have to take a bath."
Bring back QOTD! I can't stop laughing.
Posted by: FatLenny at May 29, 2009 3:21 PM
is 9th st a one family or 2? I only see one kitchen in the pics.
Posted by: joe_the_bummer at May 29, 2009 3:21 PM
Two family
Posted by: mopar at May 29, 2009 4:26 PM
Like the Albemarle Terrace house. Wish there were more photos. Placement of window in the kitchen doesn't seem to jibe with floor plan.
Posted by: Nomi at May 29, 2009 4:27 PM
There's no way a 2 br garden rental on 9th St. should be $3500. Even if it is, the current tenants are anxiously awaiting a huge rent reduction.
The cabinets really are hideous. They also look poorly installed. Look at the cabinet stuck on top of the stove that doesnt line up with the remaining cabinets.

There are plenty of assholes left and I am one of them.
Posted by: ghettoazzpnkbtch at May 29, 2009 5:27 PM
I do hope Muffet finds her dream house in her prime neighborhood for 99 cents or whatever her budget allows... She's been posting the same old schtick for years now and it is sooooooo tedious.
