"but we doubt it'll end up going for a whole lot more."

Stoner are you outta your Freaking mind? I walk past that house every day and it needs a gut job. Thats like another 200-300K to add to your asking price. Not to mention your not even within the Historic distric and you have to endure 6 months of dealing with a contractor. Funk that!!! I'll pass. The house would be worth the headache for the right price, I say about 700K MAX.

263 is a really nice house on a row of nice houses. Its just the price is crazy. Not to mention that this is a 5 Family house. With the banking crisis at hand good luck landing that commercial loan. The house would be worth the risk if it was priced right, i'll say at around $750k.

The price on the Hancock house is just plain crazy! Corcoran needs to come down to earth, i know they are trying to catch a sucker, but DAM! that's just a straight up jack move.

The other two house in the heart of Bed Stuy are posted by bad brokers that don't know anything about the neighborhood. They have a couple of short sales in the heart of Bed Stuy on Monroe for around $400k. Prices dont make sence right now.....

I can't figure this system out, there's blood in the waters but no sharks. There's no one buying nothing right now. I finally see prices that regular working folks can afford, but there are no loans. Dam!!! and how good things were just a few years ago. Go figure!!!!

I think they should have 3 units instead of 5.

Bensonhurst is not an option. As to those who think this is a fake forum, thats a pic of my apt on the right. The brownstone on the left, a friend of mines owns in Jefferson ave.
I find it amazing that "people" that have never or could have never even walk through Clinton Hill or Bed stuy all of a sudden think this is their neighborhood. They have the nerve to even correct a person on their spelling. I hate that, get a life.
But overall I know that a nice size Brownstone in a quiet block in Stuyvesant Heights is better living then being cramped in an apt in Clinton Hill.

That's my whole argument with my wife. I feel that we can live very comfortable just a short drive away. She says that if we sale now we're going to get priced out of the neighborhood. Not to mention this whole Atlantic Yards BS. I don't know if its either going to raise our property value or decrease it, everyone seems to think its going to raise it (except "THE WHAT"), but with so many delays and lawsuits my kids will be playing for the Nets by the time its completed.

This is a nice house price correctly. I sold my house on bainbridge one block way for 650k and it wasnt this nicely renovated.

With the money that's already been invested there, then you add a shaky market. I highly doubt there's an "affordable component" there.

The Housein Bushwick has been on the marlet for a very long time by small realtors. It didnt sale before in a good market it definatly won't sale now in a bad market. Then again it seems that everytime Mr. B puts up an open house things SALE!.

Tear that garbage down, who gives a rats ass about slavery. I can't understand how things like this happen. Does anybody have anything important to do. I can see where my tax dollars go....

I love Clinton Hill, but the price is straight CRAZY!. My dream is to own a Town house in this Neigh, event hough I'm perfectly comfortable with my condo in this neigh. But each year the pricing seems to be going higher and higher......

When will it stop!.

Is it me or the Crown Heights house interior photos were taken with a camera phone.

I know I know... it won't be worth anything after AY is built.

Posted by: Wick_or_Stuy at September 21, 2007 4:33 PM in response to Open House Picks

I'm pro Atlantic yards, I think this strecth of Atlantic and Fulton Street will benefit greatly fom the AY project. So why all the hating.

As much as I like the block, I think the house is just overpriced. God Dam! 1.8Millionnn Dollarssss? It feels like Corcoran is playing with Monopoly money. How you come up with those numbers. I had rather pay 2 point something for the Phizer mansion that just recently sold.

The again I can't afford it. Go figure...

I'm playing the Lotto tonight to see if I can buy this house. I love everything about it.

Stay in Clinton Hill then Wick. Or leave your wife & kids at home and come over on the "DL"

Dave---got to your table but the insanely loud music caused my two year old to freak out so I bailed before saying hi to you. Looks like its going to be a great space. The Lewis Ave commercial strip is one street that I am really rooting for. Hope it works the way you hope it will.

Love, love, love Lewis Avenue. The food at Butternut was TOPS! Absolutely delish. Got some great flowers next door and some tasty wine to boot. The Korean (sisters?) rapper and violinist were an unexpected treat. Gotta love Bed-Stuy.

Sorry I missed you, Dave. A birthday party for a 1 year-old derailed my plans. When is Butternut opening?

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.
