When is the Clinton Hill House Tour? I had a blast last year...

The public School system in Clinton Hills is not much better then the Schools in Stuyvesant heights. So if you can afford a nice Brownstone in a Historic Stuyvesant Heights block why not buy now. Nothing compares to Brownstone living. Both neighborhoods border each other, its not like you're moving to Queens or something. You're also going to have a rental income to help out with the mortgage. I say move already......

Does that mean I should have Mr.B post a house in his site if I wanted sold. How much commission do you charge Mr.B? is the price negotiable?

I love the Townhouse and location, but the renovation was done without any taste. If you buy a One Million Dollar townhose, at least ti should have a townhose feeling to it. The developer should go back and re-do some minor things and he might have it sold. Especially add some wood work to the house.

I have the best guy for the job, he just finished building my Brownstone Doors in my apartment as well as my floor moldings and wood beams. His name is Justin Mitchel (917-805-1504). His wood shop is in Clinton Hills at Atlantic and grand. He works slow, hard to contact, always busy, never says no to a job, but his work is one of a kind. Tell him Denny gave you his number.

Out of curiosity, why would someone create a fake post with this question? I'm pretty new to the forum, so I'm asking honestly, not rhetorically.

I just discovered this old thread, and my husband and I are having a similar dilemma. Of course no one can decide for us but we'd love some feedback. We are currently interested in purchasing a 2 family townhouse on Jefferson Ave btwn. Malcolm X and Patchen. The house is beautiful, but we're not sure about the area. Several people have told us that we shouldn't go past Stuyvesant Ave. We've gone by the house many many times - at night during the week and on weekends, in the afternoon, weekend mornings, etc. No one has every bothered us, in fact most individuals are friendly or otherwise just mind their own.
Our other option is to buy a one-family in Bay Ridge - totally different area: tons of anemities, the water, bigger park areas (we have a dog who likes to run around in the park). However, with the Bed Stuy house we can get the rental income.
We are so totally confused! We do love the Bed Stuy house. BTW, I grew up in Brooklyn (I'm Italian American and a teacher); my husband is British (both white). We currently are renting in DUMBO. Thanks for any food for thought.
