House of the Day: 369 6th Street
This new listing at 369 6th Street isn’t the biggest or most ornate house in Park Slope but it sure is cute as a button. The three-story brick is a legal two-family but has been configured as a one-family. The moldings and woodwork are impressive and the place clearly has had a tasteful renovation at…
This new listing at 369 6th Street isn’t the biggest or most ornate house in Park Slope but it sure is cute as a button. The three-story brick is a legal two-family but has been configured as a one-family. The moldings and woodwork are impressive and the place clearly has had a tasteful renovation at some point recently. So the question is not whether this place will catch the eye of buyers but what they will make of the $1,749,000 asking price. Thoughts?

Hate to burst your bubble, but the median household income for 11215 (where this home is located) is $87,775 (in 2009).
You are misinformed if you think everyone in the Slope makes 300-400K a year.
whether buyers these days are selling condos in manhattan with huge gains is beside the point. The question is what their income is or whether the value of their assets exceeds a few millions. Perhaps an agent can chime in and let us know how wealthy park slope brownstone buyers are. The ones I know make easily 500+
that’s because wealthy people love playing the middle class card. bitch please you aint middle class, never was, never will be. now fuck off with your 300,000 dollar salaries that make you think youre average. seriously!

Suburbandude has a point, especially since Park Slope gets more and more like the suburbs with every $2mm+ single family home sale and it’s not much closer to midtown than Westchester or NJ.

“There was some survey that came out earlier this week that found that the “wealthy” didn’t consider themselves wealthy unles they had over $7MM in assets. I’m not sure if that included their homes.
I think that’s a pretty fair assessment.”
Ugly people don’t necessarily consider themselves ugly, either, but when you’re in the 95th percentile of income or higher, you’re not middle-class unless you define the middle class very, very broadly.

” a huge windfall from a lucky past purchase might sneak in.”
Tens of thousands of them who bought 1, 2 & 3 bedroom condos in manhattan anytime before 2000-2002.
For most people, it wasn’t luck.
thefed, Biff IS right…this is not what the SUPER WEALTHY buy. They buy stuff that’s $7-50 MM. I think you misunderstood his post.
OK, if you phrase the question “Is 300K a year income considered wealthy among households living in Park Slope who have bought houses in the last decade,” I would have to say no.
By any broader standard, I still call households in the top 5 percent city-wide and the top 2 percent nation-wide wealthy.
