That's a real nice apartment. I love all the Eames and George Nelson pieces and how they fit into the space. Also like that bar/table extension of the kitchen counter. How's the nabe?

Sounds like your neighbor doesn't like the young 'uns! 18 month old twins? That's a load (no pun intended) of diapers. As the paint chips pile up in your yard, let the diapers pile up in hers! I hope that helps...

12:21... Well said. If someone wants to be in the nabe, those apartments are perfectly nice and well priced and the buildings look well maintained. I bet the building will be taken care of since home-owners take pride in their homes. And for those prices, who expects SubZero, Wolf or Viking appliances? Not everyone has millions to spend on a place. This is a more affordable way to buy a home in New York for those who may not have been able to before. Maybe the nabe will get cleaned up without millionaire yuppies taking over. Best of luck to the buyers!

Pre-war, elevator, recent renovation, nice layout, Prospect Park... Why not?

What is the name of the specific neighborhood that encompasses East 21st Street between Flatbush and Ocean Ave. from Church Ave. to Caton?

Maybe if the students have bars on their windows, they won't throw shit onto the street. We can hope!

B Square and assorted guests... Thank you for the info on my Flatbush question. Very helpful. My father grew up there and I'd like to go back and look around. I used to visit my grandparents there in the '60s. I just remember it being a beautiful old apartment building. 131 East 21st.

Erin, thank you too for that map. Very helpful information. I'm just catching up with the recent posts.

If they're trying to sell the place, should they really be showing that kitchen and bath? Yikes!

Took a look at an open house...lots of tiny studios. Would be ideal for dorms, but I hope to God that that doesn't happen. They need to gut reno, make larger apartments and sell 'em as condos.
