The location is good in terms of proximity to the park and the Q train. What’s this particular block like?

Flatbushrising I am applauding you in my living room right now!’no gentrified person’ Like really what hell does that mean!!!! So everyone living in this area what??? And iffy?? seriously if your not experiencing these neighborhoods on a day to day basis I would rather you shut up then to make ignorant senseless comments. I live a 2 blocks away on woodruff and these areas are fine! I’m young black,go to private college, hit up a farmer’s market every week and very well spoken so what?? should i grab my doorknockers and reeboks bc i live in this area! before soho was soho it was a shi*hole. Come on pple that’s why certain areas can’t change and tight knit communities can’t be formed because of statments like these!!
I stand corrected — if Bob says it’s the south side, I know it has to be true. Thanks!
Nomi: there is another apartment for sale in this building, 4-K and that is the one people are talking about. However, I don’t know how/why they would say it is smaller than the floor plan indicates. Something about the floor plan including part of a hallway or something. Anyway, both me and Flatbushrising (another resident of the building who also commented in this thread) had the floor plans provided by brokers underestimate the square footage. Appraisal came back with a more accurate floor plan.
Not understanding why people are saying the living room is way smaller than what’s on the floor plan. Can someone explain this?
I live in this building too. The apartments are huge and have great proportions–large windows, high ceilings, lots of big closets. It might be worth noting that when we got our appraisal done, the appraiser’s floor plan had our total square footage at 1096 while the brokers had it at 850. So it’s possible the unit being offered for sale is larger than the brokers realize. The F and M lines are the largest in the building if I’m remembering correctly.
Babs,
The south side of Clarkson IS in PLG. A 4 story limestone on that side was on the house tour in 2007 or 8.
Hmm… I stand by what I said in spirit, but willingly accept factual corrections. 16% since 2005 ain’t bad. Either the 2007 “income” reported on PropertyShark is eroneous… or this unit has a significantly different proportion of shares that knock it well above the average “$$ per square foot.”
If it’s the latter, I wonder what’s so special about #4F.
If it’s the former — I wonder what those figures on PropertyShark were based on… and why are they wrong?
babs – most maps I’ve seen have Clarkson as the south border for PLG – and so what, if it’s on the south side of the street it’s not PLG, but the north side is? Come on – who really gives a crap.
I looked at the books – maintenance has gone up app 16% since 2005. Considering how much heating has gone up that’s not too bad.
Kens, you have a studio in your place going for 60-70k? what’s the catch?
