still though, the Park Slope house is 1 story larger, next to the park, and a beautiful facade. Much better than CG. Should be a million more than CG.

How is it possible that the 4 story Park Slope Building 0.5 block from park is 2.6 mil and the 3 story Carroll garden (not on the best block) with no pics can ask 2.2 mil? Carroll gardens is way off.

These building do look horrible, but unfortunately this is the only investment available for people that can't afford a $1 million brownstone in a decent neighborhood. As horrible as it may look, it's still new construction and produces rental income. Why spend all your money on a new apartment when you can buy an entire building???????

A lot of upside potential here with a low risk. Priced low enough to possibly break even if you rented it out to cover the mortage. Very close to nicer neighborhoods and close to Manhattan. Newly renovated buildings in the nabe, a very good sign that its turning around. Many young professionals are being pushed into these areas that are next too well established areas such as park slope because they can't afford it, whether for renting or for buying. Question: 20 yrs ago, did anyone think Park Slope had the potential to being such a ritzy??? From the people I've talked to that are from nyc, park slope was an area you wouldn't want to be walking through alone. Crown Heights can turn around too.
