Hey, Something Sold!
Here’s a refreshing ray of light in what has been a pretty bleak few months of real estate news: Apartment #3 at 210 Berkeley Place in Park Slope, which came onto the market for $599,000 in late September just days after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, closed just before Christmas for $592,500; the two-bedroom floor-through…

Here’s a refreshing ray of light in what has been a pretty bleak few months of real estate news: Apartment #3 at 210 Berkeley Place in Park Slope, which came onto the market for $599,000 in late September just days after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, closed just before Christmas for $592,500; the two-bedroom floor-through has a maintenance of $525. (Floorplan on the jump.) In fact, it looks like it went into contract in less than three weeks on the market. Any other anecdotes like this?

I love the level of analysis on this site!!!!!
bayridge girl, there is Park Slope and there is Park Slop.
Some of the properties I have seen described as being in Park Slope are hardly that. This property is prime park slope. It is one of the best blocks. It is not just about a neighborhood, it is about the location within the neighborhood. You can always change the refrigerator but you can’t change your block. Focusing too much on the appliances and too little on the location is a big mistake in NYC real estate. Especially going forward.
Unfortunatley the price difference between September and December is not quantifiable. Like trying to sell a beachfront property the day before a hurricane. We had a one bedroom sell for $545 in Clinton Hill(on Clinton) in July, would guess mid $400s today.
My 2 BR apt in Clinton Hill sold for an almost identical amount in September after 3 weeks on the market.
Can we just all agree that Park Slope is the best neighborhood in Brooklyn; in NYC; in NY State; in America; in the World; in the Universe.
Aliens are going to want to land in Park Slope instead of a small farm in Idaho and make crop circles in Prospect Park.
And you added SO much to the tone of the discussion, gkw.
This is prime Park Slope. This apartment has it all: location, location, location.
“It doesn’t even have a full-sized refrigerator in the tiny kitchen — and there are no laundry facilities.”
That’s funny. In the picture of the kitchen, I see a full size, stainless steel refrigerator.
And I’m guessing they have laundry in the basement like most of these brownstone co-ops do around here.
The guys at the Ozzie’s at Lincoln and 7th are some of the nicest guys around. At least a few times a week they give me my coffee for free and are always extremely appreciate when I tip them. Perhaps you’re talking about the Ozzie’s on 5th Avenue Rob, but the one near me is one of my favorite places in Park Slope.
I can’t stand Starbucks, think their coffee is horrendous and if I could would love to put them out of business. Although I wouldn’t, because that would be a loss of too many jobs. But in theory…
