Co-op of the Day: 32 South Oxford Street
We wish the original crown moldings were still there and the bathroom’s a little too trendy for our tastes, but otherwise this studio at 32 South Oxford Street in Fort Greene is cute. (Some folks probably won’t like the fact that it’s on the ground floor facing the street either.) Maintenance is $375 and asking…

I saw this place during their open house yesterday. It’s super cute, but yes – small. If I were single and not such a pack-rat, this would be great for me. The park is just 1 block away, and I agree – this is perhaps the prettiest street in Brooklyn. The neighborhood and amenities can not be beat. I wouldn’t live anywhere else!
“I didn’t previously understand that your opinion is that prices will be 50% off peak…FOREVER.”
I didn’t either, anitdope. I understood that by stating “flat from there” I meant a few years which is typical for a housing collapse. Who the hell is going to live in 400 SF for ten years (after which the market will only return to a fractional amount towards peak ’til next credit giveaway in 2103, say quarter off min in 2009 dollars whenever the hell that would happen)? This seller sure as hell aint.

Biff, for every good one we have in PS, there are 5 mediocre ones. I’m not complaining, but the bounty of riches is a bit deceiving.
All these areas are great, and for each person “prime” might be a different one.

11217, don’t be sorry. Seriously, I wasn’t offended at all. I was just curious about the subways in Fort Greene as I didn’t think it was possible any other area could have more options than BH. As far as restaurant options strictly within BH, I completely agree they leave much to be desired, with the exception of a handful of good ones. Maybe you can ship over some of the many you have in Park Slope.
