Windsor Terrace: Hot or Not?
An article in the latest issue of the Real Deal looks at Windsor Terrace and sees lukewarm prospects for the neighborhood. Why so? Well, to begin with, one broker says prices in the area are falling.

An article in the latest issue of the Real Deal looks at Windsor Terrace and sees lukewarm prospects for the neighborhood. Why so? Well, to begin with, one broker says prices in the area are falling. An Elliman broker who recently sold three Windsor Terrace townhouses says prices are down 7.5 percent, and that properties are slow to sell. Other brokers, meanwhile, say a lack of new development in the neighborhood means there’s not enough inventory. And Windsor Terrace home values may fall even more if prices drop in the Slope. My feeling about Windsor Terrace is that as Park Slope goes, the Terrace goes, says Zev Keisch, a broker at Bond New York. If Park Slope shows a slowdown, then people who were compromising by going to Windsor Terrace to be in that area don’t necessarily have to and can look at their first choice, Park Slope, with a greater chance of a successful buy.

I just think it’s odd, because while a crummy website like Curbed may occasionally feature comments that express “rivalry” between different Manhattan nabes, I’ve never seen it as intense as on this blog. Ever.
Just people trying to push each others buttons but a brownstone Brooklyn rumble a la “Warriors” or “Anchorman” could be kinda cool.
VERY real, 8:25. I live in the Slope and I’ve got a gang of marauding thugs who visit a different “Brownstone Brooklyn” neighborhood each night and kick the shit out of the pretentious losers that live there. It’s all out WAR and I plan do keep at it as long as it takes to let these fucktards know that they are messin’ with the big boys now!
I wonder when civil war will erupt in Brooklyn. I can’t believe how much infighting and neighborhood competition there is. Is it for real, or is it just a an anonymous blog phenomenon?
Palaver!
Everyone is every neighborhood everywhere ever is LAME!!!!!
Please, nobody can say the F train is decent. (Or the R, for those talking themselves into South South Slope; the R is heinous). I actually know someone whose sole reason for leaving Kensington is because of frustration with the commute on the F, and she only goes as far as lower Manhattan. Which of course explains the big campaign in 2007 by lots of desperate Brooklyn residents on the F, to get an express added to that line.
Loving your neighborhood is awesome. But you don’t need to drink the kool-aid to do that. At least admit to what are the obvious and widely agreed upon flaws of a place.
^^lame. There are “ugly” people everywhere. Including on your street. They’re in every single neighborhood in Brooklyn. Just like there are also good people in every single neighborhood in Brooklyn.
I would rather live where there are the ugliest houses ever than where there are the ugliest people ever, Park Slope (and I am not talking physically ugly).
