there are four houses for sale on the block. disclosure: i own a place here. and i love it. the places for sale - with the exception of 22, which may be some peoples' taste - need a lot of work. i haven't seen 20, but 24 also needs a lot of work (it is 4 floors though). i think this price seems within the realm of reasonable. the houses on this block have nice proportions - 20 ft wide, 3 floors - great for a two family (like mine) or a very good-sized one family. i think 1.3 or 1.4 would be an appropriate number for a renovated house on this block... one would have to be ready to deal with a major renovation to invest in 20.

daveinbedstuy -

i live in clinton hill, and on a block that's home to plenty of drug dealing. thanks.

regardless, i think it is callous that people are so distraught over the loss of the home's details (which were probably destroyed long ago anyway), and no one has mentioned the possible loss of human life. could have been crack heads, or perhaps cops or firemen or neighbors injured.

AGHH! that's horrible news about the G - it's not like there are other trains serving these areas. i hope that's true that it's not less frequent g service. if that were the case, i'd probably give up on it. recently, i've waited 10 to 15 mins during the day, if that jumped to 20 to 30, it wouldn't be worth it.

amazing that everyone's mourning the loss of historic architectural detail.

i'm with the several people who suggested the edge of prospect heights. i think (parts of) bed-stuy could be a good choice, too.
