Another Unit Reduced at the Greenhouse Condos
The Greenhouse Condos at 383 Carlton Avenue haven’t been having the easiest time when it comes to resales.

The Greenhouse Condos at 383 Carlton Avenue haven’t been having the easiest time when it comes to resales. The poster child for that syndrome has been Apartment 10E which has been on the market since last November despite several modest price cuts that have left the 1,028-square-foot pad priced at $895,000. Just last week a 1,280-square-foot unit on the 8th Floor was reduced from $1,075,000 to $999,000 after only a few days on the market. Like most of the units in the building, this one’s got a terrace from which to enjoy the views. At $800 a foot, though, is this still priced too high?

I (a person of color) feel much safer and welcomed in Fort Greene than I do in Park Slope, BOCOCA (or whatever people are calling this part of Brooklyn these days) and Williamsburg…
Ooopsss 2:41 here…meant to post my comment to the Open House Picks thread…I though that 2:28 was posting that obnoxious comment on the OHP thread re: the house on Lafayette.
Sorry!
2:28 – unsafe!? what magical enchanted forrest are you living in? fort greene is totally safe.
2:28,
Hats off to you for being an illustration of the effects of propaganda since 1980.
Drugs are dealt ALL OVER. Just because the majority of people living near the Lafayette house in Clinton Hill may/might be African American, does not mean the neighborhood is unsafe, overrun by drug dealers or filled with projects.
In fact, across from this house are three large condo towers and to the west up the hill toward Vanderbilt is another condo complex. They are NOT public housing.
i too am not a fan of Fort Greene at any price. i refuse to live near drug dealers or projects.
others don’t care, but i know i am not alone.
agree that it’s a pretty neighborhood for a weekend stroll though.
i’d take a similar condo in a safer hood.
Dear Market Reality:
Tried to find your listing on web sites of brokers common in area…CobbleHeights, Brooklyn Bridge, BrownHarris, Corcoran, Awaye and didn’t find.
Then went to NYTimes and was able to find – and see listed with Century21 and Fillmore.
who your other 3 choices of brokers are who knows.
Some of your problem could be choice of brokers – try ones that buyers in area use whether they are big name or indepedents.
guest at 12:58 — I live right down the block from this place and have never felt unsafe walking back from the subway at night, and I’m a small female.
Yes, the neighborhood’s mostly residential and not as lively at night as, say, the East Village, so it can seem a little empty when you’re walking home, but no one’s ever given me any trouble.
