House of the Day: A New Era In The Slope?
This North Sloper looks like a sign of the times to us. As far as we can tell, this would have been asking north of $2 million just a few months ago. Now, at $1.795 million, the location and historic integrity of the building make this pretty attractive, we think. Perhaps there’s a bit of…
This North Sloper looks like a sign of the times to us. As far as we can tell, this would have been asking north of $2 million just a few months ago. Now, at $1.795 million, the location and historic integrity of the building make this pretty attractive, we think. Perhaps there’s a bit of a discount for the fact that it’s a three-family–most buyers in the North Slope these days probably want a one- or two-family. In addition to the cost the reconfigure, the listing admits that the house needs a tune-up in places. Personally, we’d start by plastering over that brick wall in the bedroom! Regardless, we suspect this will attract a buyer quite quickly at this price. It makes us wonder: If this house is $1.8 in the prime Slope, what would it be in Fort Greene?

I don’t think this site represents Brooklyn very well. You really need to get to know its people.
UNC CHAPEL HILL GO HEELS!!
ps. worst…thread….ever.
Anon at 5:30pm considering move to Bklyn,
I feel sorry for you if most of your important life decisions are made by analyzing internet posts.
The people you see posting here are a very extreme subset of brownstone Bklyn’s population. By no means do most brownstoners sit around and debate PS vs. FG.
Get out and see and interact with real people before you make a decision. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
“Last weekend we went into the west village to the bleecker street playground and almost vomitted at how spoiled, rude, and downright psychopathic the 3-5 year olds were. No more smack from me in regards to park slope, Manhattan has it beat by a long shot.”
Anon at 7:45pm,
You had me laughing pretty hard. Where do you think all the Park Slope Moms come from! Yeh, everybody should spend some time in Manhattan before griping about the PS parents.
seems like it could be a good deal for those that need to feel good.
Exhausted is right. I had to check it out when I saw that there were 100 postings. Wow—it reads like a comic opera. Loved 4:28’s Prospect Park aria.
I’m exhausted reading this thread.
Bishop Loughlin, smack dab in the middle of FG.
Anon at 11.34pm, I’d be careful not to pass your hang-ups on our poor university experience onto your child. If they can get into an Ivy League school, they’d be much better off in terms of opporunities in life than if they go to Univ. of Wisconsin.
Holy Name has improved so much so rapidly and I think it’s the pressure of good public schools in the neighborhood–154, 107, even 230. Catholic schools have to improve to stay open when parents not only want quality and safety but have lots of choice. Fort Greene needs stronger public schools, but I’m not sure it even has a parochial school anymore.
