Just Sold! [NY Post]
i guess i don’t understand why for the same money, one wouldn’t choose prospect heights over plg. closer to manhattan, nice restaurants on vandy, park also right there, etc.
the crappiest parts of ph are still nicer than the best areas of plg.

webster,
what type of house did you get and what was the price range?
2:59 you are an ass…..
My wife and I are priced out of upgrading to an actual house in Cobble Hill, and after spending months looking around the $1.0-$1.7MM price range for a home, decided the best bang for the buck was right there by the park, Zoo, Botanical Gardens, Parade Grounds etc. (we have kids) in PLG.
We have two other families that are friends of ours that we visited there, and the more we came to know the neighborhood and community, the more we came to love it and knew it would be great for us.
Doesn’t have as much as other neighborhoods in terms of amazing restaurant rows, but that’s okay by us.
As someone else brilliantly put it, if you love it for what it is, and not for what you think it has to become in 5-10 years, you’ll be fine.
So we called the search off in all other neighborhoods, and spent from Mid-May onward looking at places just in PLG.
Happy to say that we finally just signed the contract this afternoon on a place there.
Surely this neighborhood is not for everyone, just a matter of one’s own personal taste (same may be said of *any* neighborhood, just look at these boards…).
But we liked the warm, friendly community and the good mix of people, the proximity to the park and express trains to Madhattin’, and just the overall lower-stress nature of things (compared to other neighborhoods we’d searched).
Yes, that’s just our opinion (and our new home), so go ahead and say what you will.
I would hope that anyone would be able to say this about their own neighborhood, if they truly enjoy it for what it is (and not for what someone else thinks it should be).
Okay, that’s my lame two cents.
Fire away.
/me ducks for cover
I live in the Heights and would be happy to have permits all over the borrough. Like anon, I almost only use my car to go out of town or to places like Costco or Home Depot. If I drive over to Park Slope — and I do this so so rarely, I always take the subway — I park at a meters 95% of the time anyway.
I don’t think the permits prevent you from parking in another neighborhood.
Bob: you raise a good point but since other cities (like Boston) use permits I would guess it’s been considered and addressed before (of course, not necessarily satisfactorily). I don’t even have a personal stake in the issue as I decided to get rid of my car on Monday and use zipcars exclusively. And, in any event, I never–not even once–drove my car into any NYC borough other than on my way to the highway to leave town.
What homeowner in PLG ever got a “softball sized gunshot wound”?
I guess since you are so perceptive, this new owner will be the first ever homeowner in Lefferts Manor to get shot.
