So what up with the development at 358 Grove in Bushwick? The 59-unit project has been on the market for more than three months and just 12 of the 39 units listed on Halstead are in contract so far (most of them are on the E line). Prices are under $500 a foot and the finishes look okay, so what’s the deal? We’d love to hear from folks who’ve gone to check it out already. For those who haven’t, there’s a tripleshot of open houses tonight, tomorrow and Sunday.

358 Grove Boldly Pushing Bushwick Boundaries [Curbed]
I agree with the previous poster.
I also live in Bushwick, and for all of the posters that are criticizing the neighborhood, they don’t know shit, and probably should go back to Ohio. After the 70’s “Bushwick” was always known as a terrible place. That is not the case anymore, it is an artists haven from the Suits in Manhattan. The Grove project is clearly overpriced, and not represented correctly in its advertising, however, it still is approx. 20mins from the city.
You are better off finding a 2 family brick house near the Halsey stop on the “L” train.

Simple story. A developer with dollar signs for eyes bit off more than the neighborhood can currently chew. I live in B’wick and I find those prices for that specific area to be a bit rediculous.
Plus as usual you have a bunch of knowitalls who don’t know shit about Bushwick commenting on Bushwick. It is what it is, people. And you’ll never know what it really is since you won’t dare leave your ‘safe’ (read: already gentrified to submission) neighborhoods.
i went and snuck in during construction a few last month and they looked nice. I agree, the counter is really an eyesore, but aside from that it’s what you’d expect from a new condo. The 2 trains is a plus in that area. With the L train horror on weekends, it will be useful to use the M instead.
8 ft. ceilings = “luxury” condo!??
I saw the units with a customer who decided to be closer to Manhattan. IMHO the units are well priced and good value. Yes, maybe you can buy an old frame house psf for less in Sunset Park – but this is brand new construction with a sponsor to take care of anything, brand new appliances, an elevator, parking (okay, a parkng space added 10K or so to the pricetag), brand new everything. Not crappy broken tiled grunge that’s going to take more $$$ or a ton of sweat equity to rehabilitate. And let’s not forget that when you get to a narrow house most of the house ends up being stairs and hallways). Plus, Grove has nice views from the higher floors and the shared roofdeck. I agree the kitchens were not sleek but put in a new counter if you want or put in your own cabinet doors to make it your own. A LOT cheaper than entirely fixing up that “deal” of a falling apart leaky town house.

I went to see the units. The ceilings are low but the units are nice and seem somewhat removed from the Bushwick that we know. However, the bathrooms and kitchens are cheap and tasteless and lack any modern sleek appeal. I don’t understand why they would skimp on kitchens and bath. They are such a huge selling point. I was interested in this project but the design was a deal breaker for me.
