208 Midwood Sells for $995,000
When 208 Midwood Street in Prospect Lefferts Gardens was a House of the Day back in September, the small brownstone was asking $1,150,000, a lot for the nabe but worth trying for given the gorgeous interiors.

When 208 Midwood Street in Prospect Lefferts Gardens was a House of the Day back in September, the small brownstone was asking $1,150,000, a lot for the nabe but worth trying for given the gorgeous interiors. In the end, though, the market spoke and the seller had to settle for $995,500, just shy of the mansion tax. Is this price what you expected? GMAP
I’m thinking of Bed Stuy, Crown Heights, Bushwick, Kensington, Midwood, Ditmas Park, Bensonhurst, Bay Ridge, Sheepshead Bay, Astoria, Jackson Heights, the Bronx — any place that isn’t already gentrified to the nines. They complain it’s too far, it’s too dangerous, the schools are bad. And then they complain that the expensive places should be cheaper so they can live there.
Many natives cannot get the earlier Brooklyn out of their heads and will not live in certain areas because of how they were a decade or more ago.
tybur6, may I suggest you go roaming for that “someone” in Park Slope
I’m soooo worked up, I’m ready to stab someone.
I’ve never found this blog anything but entertainment mixed with a bit of information every now and again.
wasn’t trying to play games. was trying to make the point to not take it too serious here on this blog. Not like we’re politicians debating to get votes.
“was trying to bait 11217 with my clinton hill is better than park slope line”
Which was obvious.
Not interested in your games.
was trying to bait 11217 with my clinton hill is better than park slope line AND to put things in perspective here. It’s a blog to share viewpts. we don’t have to agree. We don’t have to spend too much energy to convince others of our viewpt. ‘tybur6’ enjoy yourself here, save up and let your $$$ (buy or rent) vote for yourself cause that’s all that counts.
On the 200% increase, I’m not as concern on the % increase as I’m with the $$$ increase. Something could be super cheap cause the hood is crap then so hood improving could easily yield a massive % increase. absolute $$$ increase is real – ie unless one’s income and/or savings spiked that much, one can’t afford it.
Buy if you can afford it and if not, rent. Nothing wrong with Renting and nothing wrong with repeating “$1M” for a house is NOT a “good price”. People, enjoy yourself on this blog. Dont get too worked up
Forgot to add “particularly from those who grew up in New York and have never lived anywhere else.” I find the complete opposite to be true. Natives are more open and willing to seek housing outside of the Brownstone Belt because they know that there are many reasonable alternatives.
