Brooklyn Hot Tub Survey
More Brownstoner forum action: Apparently, one house hunter has recently toured 50+ brownstones and rowhouses in Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, and Park Slope, and was astounded by the number of hot tubs he encountered: “We saw two or three Jacuzzis out in the open IN THE MASTER BEDROOM SUITE of a…

“We saw two or three Jacuzzis out in the open IN THE MASTER BEDROOM SUITE of a couple places, which actually skeeves me out even more than outdoor lovebuckets. I remember one outdoor scene on Clermont that had a beautifullly landscaped backyard, but was still totally dominated by this fake-wood tub that looked like Jackson Brown and Carly Simon should be simmering in it, passing joints back and forth. I mean, seriously: Do you really want a warm little pond in your backyard in Brooklyn, New York? Wouldn’t critters get in there and rot? Rats? Skeeters? Clamydia?”
Um, we don’t happen to know any hot tub owners here in Brooklyn, so we can’t answer this fellow’s questions — but some of you guys must have some info on hot tubs and the critters that come with them. Will the proud hot tub owners please come forward?

I am in the hot tub business, lets get that out front. I own a store on Long Island and have installed plenty of hot tubs all around the 5 bourougs.It is truly satisfying to be able to accomidate my customers wishes, that they be able to sit in their hot tub and enjoy a view of the Empire State Building.One of the easiest and most portable spa is the Softub, which I sell.Also, if you are going to go through the expense of installing a spa, make sure you purchase a good quaility spa. Again, our store sells Arctic Spas, a spa that is built to last.So, if anyone wants info on wheather they can place a spa in their brownstone or in the rooftop penthouse, we have the experience to make it happen.
Feel free to call with any questions you may have.

I like the tub that the Record used to illustrate this page with. I want it in my *front* yard.
I just moved into my newly renovated house and have the triple play of water works, a 5 person spa on the roof, Whirlpool in the bathroom and Steam in the shower. All for 3,500 per year in taxes and 300/ month in electricity.
Nothing is better than water and you feel like you are on vacation in your own home.
I can’t for the life of me understand the appeal of a hot tub. A large whirlpool bath, yes, but not a hot tub…yuck.
I’d totally get a Brooklyn hot tub if I had my own backyard or deck to put it on (maybe not in the middle of the bedroom– that does seem a little skeevy).
