Gravesend Sales Price Falls Just Short of Brooklyn Record
Anyone who read the recent Times Magazine article about the incredibly close-knit and financially successful community of Syrian Jews in Gravesend may not be all that surprised to learn that one of its business leaders just sold his 7,526-square-foot house for $10 million.

Anyone who read the recent Times Magazine article about the incredibly close-knit and financially successful community of Syrian Jews in Gravesend may not be all that surprised to learn that one of its business leaders just sold his 7,526-square-foot house for $10 million. The seller was Joseph Cayre, founder of Midtown Equities and a former Latin music producer; the buyer was an LLC. While the $10 million number falls short of the $10.75 million paid for 140 Columbia Heights, it continues a trend of sky-high prices in the South Brooklyn neighborhood: Five out of the nine highest sales prices ever recorded in Brooklyn have been in Gravesend.

It’s no in walking distance, the synagogue is on Ocean parkway, the most expensive houses are the one’s within a short couple of blocks, Corcoran is already trying to cash in on this by listing a couple of shit houses for 3 mil a pop in the vicinity
Is the house within walking distance of a Sephardic Synagogue? Then yes they will be able to cash out. If not, you might as well be in Mexico.
What area in Gravesend is this defined by? Or more to the point, will my folks on Bedford and R be able to cash out to someone in this population?
As things heat up- I’d just like to put out the challenge to work together to come to a higher level of understanding and to spare us all from the nastiness and name calling.
Proceed peaceful, intelligent peoples.
It goes a bit beyond marriage- c’mon.
10:25 – really?
I dont hear such outrage being expressed toward enclaves of asians in Sunset Park or African-Americans in Bed-Stuy or Irish in Breezy Point.
In fact when people in those groups seem to complain about outsiders moving in – the genral response around here seems to be “what do you expect, you rich gentrifying scum”

1935=institutional hate speech?
Do you have any idea what hate speech is?
They dont want intermarriage – not claiming its a progressive policy but nothing different from many many ethnic, racial and religious groups in this country.
True that!
It is an enclave then. Whatever. It has nothing to do with them being “JEWS”, I’m not the poster you are responding to, but if they were a community of nepalese, or a gated community full of white golfers, with the same rules, I’d have the same attitude: shame they feel the need to be so exclusionary. It is ironic that the minority of uber-rich families there must trade their wealth back and forth with each other to live in a pile of bricks on an incredibly average bit of land with no views. Wait. That actually sounds a lot like Manhattan. The same principle on a vaster scale, but at least not so homogeneous.
Has anyone said: “Crazy Gravesend: His prices are insaaane!” yet?
