We went to an open house when that building on Degraw had either just oepned or soon after.
It was raining and the upper floor apartment we were seeing was leaking BADLY. So much so, there was a bucket to catch the flow. Out in the middle of the floor.
Like 99% of the new construction going up in this burg, crap new construction, crap construction “quality.” (And I use that term very loosely.)
Oh, and it’s got those lovely Fedders conditioners.
Take this flat and shove it.
Actually it’s like 5 or 6 apartments in the past 6 months on sale….not 8.
CG apartment was $700k+ 6 months ago around $725k I think. Around 8 apartments have been on sale or sold in that building in the past 6 months. Could just be people taking profit from when the building was built. It’s a shady building, they advertise all the apartments as having parking….it turn’s out the lot is still owned by the orginal property owner and he is going to deed the spots and sell them on the open market….IE no guarantee that buying an apartment in the building gets you a spot.
Good job Putnam…do you know that I’ve lived in the area for 7 years and always spell Willoughby wrong. I usually just type Willo…lol. I think it’s reversed though, should be south of Willo. and North of Gates = no CH proper, no?
Y-A-W-N
Not Prime Clinton Hill probably = North of Willoughby, or South of Gates, or East of Hall/St James (although a few of those Cambridge/Grand blocks are nice).
P.S. obviously I live in not ready for prime time Clinton Hill.
For starters, prime clinton hill (historic) starts literally one block (Vanderbilt) over from Ft. Greene proper. To close, there are still a great many people that don’t know the difference between bedstuy and Clinton Hill, or Ft. Greene and Clinton Hill.
Using the term Clinton Hill proper” refers to the part of “Clinton Hill that some mistake as Ft. Greene, when in fact it’s Clinton Hill. I hope this helps clarify things for you.
I don’t understand the use of ‘prime’ and ‘Clinton Hill’ in the same sentence.
re: why it was on the market and then above ask
Seems to be the trend now. When I looked at it there seemed to be many similar apartments (though not in Ft. Greene proper — closer to Hanson Place or Clinton Hill) at $50K-$100K less. As those got snatched up as bargains, I assume that a 2BR under $600K seemed more attractive. It’s amazing though — from everything I’ve seen, there was a point in mid-February where the market skyrocketed. From offers at 10-15% below ask to bidding wars.
