Co-op of the Day: 457 3rd Street, #3R
This charming 3-bedroom in an eight-unit limestone co-op at 457 3rd Street in Park Slope just held its first open houses this weekend. Given the combination of original woodwork and clean renovation (not to mention the old PS 321 factor), we suspect there will be ample demand at the price of $999,000 from family buyers….

For that kind of money I would want to live closer to the city than Park Slope.
Park Slope is so overpriced.
I walked around park slope for the first time and fell in love with it’s home, and all the wonderful shops and restaurants on 5th and 7th avenues. I even thought 4th and 3rd avenues weren’t so bad to be so close to a really wonderful neighbor – probably the nicest in all of brooklyn and NYC. Aren’t there more reasonable homes south of 5th?
Oh please! The whole “all suburbs and everyone in them are depressing and stupid” thing on Brownstoner is so completely retarded I can’t even believe you people write this crap. Aren’t you ashamed such ignorant thoughts even come out of your head or mouth or keyboard?
I live in Brooklyn, I love NYC and love living in a city, but I’m not so insecure and self-obsessed that I can only see MY choices and my choices only as the right ones. Why are you so in need of affirmation of living in Brooklyn that you need to do that?
I am SO not the one who needs meds. And I was not “picking a fight”. It’s called presenting a contrasting point of view. Er, if that’s allowed around here without being insulted and being called “doll”. You’re a complete ass. Since it’s my turn to call people names.
thank you for clarifying my point, johnife.
someone just wanted to pick a fight. not sure how you got from my post that i find nature boring.
couldn’t be any farther from the truth. love nature and in fact have planted myself right next to the closest facsimile i could find around these parts (prospect park).
you sound like the one who could use a change of meds, doll.
and i’d like to see your stats that there is any indication that children raised in urban environments are any more likely to suffer from ADD.
a good thesis topic, no doubt.
8:05,
I grew up in a farming village of 2,000 people in the UK and couldn’t agree with you more about the pleasures of experiencing the combination of serenity and adventure that a truly rural environment offers. I don’t think that we’re talking about a comparison between “fields and streams” and the city here, though. I’m assuming, given the theme and location of this blog, the difference is between, say, Bethpage and its endless and mind-numbing mediocrity (where “nature” is the moss growing on the roadside advertising signs), and NYC. If I had a job in Riverhead, sure I’d live out there (Riverhead, that is, not f’ing Bethpage!), but I’m guessing that 99.999% of the people here work in Manhattan or Brooklyn.
Sorry, so not true, 7:27. The vast majority of people in this country in any field grew up in the suburbs or rural areas, not in the inner, urban centers. Just because YOUR friends who grew up in the suburbs are boring doesn’t mean anything. It says more about you than it does anything else.
I grew up in a rural area and having fields and streams and lakes to spend solitary time in was amazing. I will never regret one moment, having that opportunity. It never ever bored me. I’m sorry you find nature boring, that’s sad to me. I can hardly imagine kids in a city ever getting enough quiet and meditative moments to develop a rich inner life, when there’s so much loud distracting stimulus coming at them all the time. No wonder they are all ADD and on meds.
That’s exactly how I feel 8:00PM. And don’t go to Queens, please.
Johnife, I grew up in the city and I agree with you 100% about preferring it to the suburbs even as a child. That said, my parents could afford to give me a quality of life in the city that I could never come close to matching now, for my own kids, because the cost of living here has gone up so much. My spouse and I work non-stop and practically never get to see our kids, just to make ends meet. Therefore, I owe it to my family to consider the suburbs, where I can get a nice house in an excellent school district for the same price as the coop on this posting. And, where the commute in to my office is only about 15 minutes longer door-to-door (no car involved) than it would be if we lived on the F line in Park Slope. It’s not a decision I’ve come to terms with yet, but I can see it coming. Brooklyn used to be the place you could move to if you didn’t want to leave New York entirely but couldn’t afford Manhattan – that is no longer true, sadly. And sorry, but I’m not up for Queens…
