In its current issue, This Olde House picks its top 51 neighborhoods for old houses. Among its top six Editors’ Picks is none other than Stuyvesant Heights, which gets the nod for being the “Best Place for Brownstone Buffs.” Here’s what they have to say:
This culturally rich nabe is shedding its high-crime rep as restaurants, bakeries, and cafes open their doors to new and longtime residents, all of whom want a distinctly Brooklyn lifestyle for themselves and their families…While prices for townhouses were creeping into the millions a few years ago, they’ve come down of late. Some fixer-uppers are going for as low as $475,000. It won’t stay that way.
Sweet!

BHO, you act like Bed Stuy is more “overvalued” than most places. It’s not.
BHO, if I could live in absolutely any neighborhood I wanted I would live in my old neighborhood in Bushwick near the Ridgewood border. I absolutely adore it there, and can afford it, just could not find the kind of building we needed because they don’t exist (duplex plus apartment). I do not want to live in Manhattan, honest to god. Oh, wait, what am I saying, I guess if I could live on Gramercy Park I might consider it. Maybe. No. I really like Bushwick better. Honestly.
BHO, if you’re going to opine on old houses, you’d better f*&^in learn that it’s This Old House, not This Olde House, otherwise, as we all suspect, you’re just a poseur!!!!!

‘This Olde House’ started it, wasder [BHO whined in a child-like voice]! They should have omitted that last sentence in the quote, “It won’t stay that way” [He said more astutely, knowing which direction they were pointing to].

I think its rather lame that a nice discussion about the architecture in Stuy Heights getting some press had to devolve into the same old argument about the direction of the market. not everything needs to end up in that ugly place folks.
Dave believes the worst is over. I think he may be angling for a job in the Obama administration.
I hope he’s right.
I never timed half off (that happens when it happens). Above, I timed the test that the market will take when FHA tax credit/3.5% down programs and toxic asset warehousing by the FED ceases. I predict an ‘F’.

are people who fix up fixer-uppers called fixer-upperers?
By summer, you will find that you were gravely wrong.
