Condo of the Day: 430 Clinton Avenue, #4D
We’re liking the feel of this one-bedroom FSBO at 430 Clinton Avenue in Clinton Hill. The clean, modern take on the prewar space is light without sacrificing the charm of the original space. The asking price of $475,000 is quite a bit more than what a one bedroom across the street at the Clinton Hill…

The asking price of $475,000 is quite a bit more than what a one bedroom across the street at the Clinton Hill Co-ops would cost, but this place has a lot more character and more space; the loftiness of the living area is particularly nice. The asking price represents a premium of about less than 10 percent over what the current owners paid for the place back in the summer of 2007. Think they’ll get it?

From St James to Franklin between Lafayette and Myrtle.
These are the University Houses co-ops stringer, not public housing projects. As I said, I am usually the last one to lob around the “code word” thing but you made an untrue and very sweeping statement that seemed to have a subtext behind it. I sincerely apologize if this was not your intent. I don’t know you and can’t in a reasonable mind call you racist. I just wonder what your agenda is to make such sweeping and untrue statements.
1) Nice looking apartment and near lots of restaurants and decent services (but not too close to any non-rat infested decently sized groceries — you are limited to the small, but nice korean grocers)
2) Way, way, way too expensive (by at least 100k)
I live in Clinton Hill and think this is way overpriced for a 1 bedroom. Most of the 2 bedrooms in the area are going for this price. Our 1 1/2 bedroom in the Clinton Hill coops was about $100,000 less 2 years ago.
Ive spent much time on FG/CH and can attest that while the surrounding blocks are pretty (except the clinto coops which are fugly), and there are a whole slew of restaurants walkable on Dekalb, the other amenities suck. The only viable grocery option is the crappy associated (the bigger one on Myrtle is a bit far). The apt. is a bit overpriced in my opinion. If you are intent to live right there – i would buy in the co-ops for a whole lot less.
I don’t doubt you 11217 but my wife and I have lived here for 8 years and have never had problem with anyone.
I vaguely recall reading that the Gates / Vanderbilt corner was a persistent drug dealing site.

Don’t turn it into a racial thing Wasder, that’s not what i meant. My point was to relate housing prices to the quality of life you get from the Neighborhood. Yes there are some nice streets w/ nice brownstones over there, but the surrounding is shitty. I don’t need anyone to convince me otherwise, i’ve seen enough to forge my own opinion.
I agree wasder that equating projects with dodgy is wrong.
I don’t think of things in those terms though. A certain amount of “dodgy” is to be expected when you’re getting a bargain.
This is so NOT a bargain by any stretch of the imagination.
Like I said…I LOVE Clinton Hill and wouldn’t be opposed to living there, but only if prices were cheaper than I could get in areas (like where I live now) where I walk out my door to 100 restaurants, bars, 3 grocery stores and the Q and 2/3 trains.
That’s just the way I view real estate though. Location, location, location.
“i know the hood over there”
So where are these massive projects of which you speak?
“I firmly believe this will be “worth” 300-350K this time next year.”
I don’t disagree with you here 11217. I might disagree with the reasons that is so but not with this bottom line conclusion.
