Condo of the Day: 34 Park Place
Whether to own half a house in a more upscale neighborhood or a full house in a less gentrified area, that is the question. It’s a question we’ve discussed before, but it’s made all the more relevant by this new listing at 34 Park Place which is asking $1,350,000. This particular apartment combines the parlor…
Whether to own half a house in a more upscale neighborhood or a full house in a less gentrified area, that is the question. It’s a question we’ve discussed before, but it’s made all the more relevant by this new listing at 34 Park Place which is asking $1,350,000. This particular apartment combines the parlor and ground floors along with the garden and cellar. Historic details are nicely intact and there’s a recently renovated good-sized kitchen. According to PropertyShark, this is a standard Italianate brownstone with standard 20-by-45-foot dimensions. Given that a full house like this would sell for close to double the asking price on this unit, it looks pretty reasonably priced to us, at least on a relative basis. Agree?

Ps. 282 is probably one of the 5 best public elementary schools in New York City.
5:05 is right on the money. Some people can’t grasp the fact that Park Slope has 2…YES 2 very good schools.
You can continue to hate it or you can accept it and move on.
My parents tossed me in public school and never gave a shit about my studies, and I did turn out a pathetic wreck. Blogging away my days. I don’t even have a posting name. I’m suprized I can even spell.
If PS 321 were not right up the street from PS 282, nobody would every say PS 282 was a “bad” school. They would have criticisms, sure, but they wouldn’t say it was “bad”. Opinions of PS 282 are always only relative to PS 321. As for those who think all you need to do is toss a kid into a generally good public school and he/she’ll be set for life, good luck with that! I’ve personally only seen that lots of work at home with a child, regardless of school district, is what makes a kid a good student throughout their life.
I think the news out today was that housing prices dropped by the largest amount in 16 years. that is not so bad. Besides, it is problem mostly in places like Miami and Atlanta and other faraway American cities. Not here.
4:38 – I asked the same question. I think it’s an issue, certainly as far as parking, traffic (car & human), pollution, etc. are concerned. This one’s not right next door but pretty close. I’m sure it won’t be like living in midtown near the garden, but on game night you’ll see tons of cars and pedestrians… Also, with that many new residences coming online, housing supply in the neighborhood goes up dramatically, which could affect pricing. This is a different type of residence, but still.
Better yet, skip the news altogether and peep Robert J. Shiller.
“Home prices are at their lowest in 16 years.”
Uh, no. Not even close. Try reading the news a little more carefully.

I’m afraid the news today is not good for you.
Home prices are at their lowest in 16 years.
Most wages and earnings seem stuck on hold. Americans are not saving. It does not bode well for resales at the moment.
But then again Brooklyn isn’t really America as this blog can easily show. So maybe you will luck out.
I am just in total shock that whatever jackass constantly pops into this comments section to facetiously mention the Atlantic Yards has not done so in this case when, for me, I was worried about the proximity to the Yards when this apartment was first listed MONTHS ago. I’d love to know what everyone thinks, in a non-baity way.
