Closing Bell: Pretty in PLG

Inspired, perhaps, by the topic of affordable nabes, The Wall Street Journal this weekend served up a heaping plate of love for Prospect Lefferts Gardens. The area’s incredible architecture is unlikely to come as news to regular Brownstoner readers but it’s always fun to get the demographic analysis. “It’s drawing a big segment of younger people priced out of other locations,” said BHS broker and 24-year-resident Bill Sheppard. “It’s your classic New York melting pot.” And with houses ranging from $900,000 to $1,500,000, “People are just blown away by the space that they can afford over there,” says Lee Solomon, another Brown Harris Stevens broker who recently had one of the pricy Midwood Street listings (all of which are referenced in this post).
