House of the Day: 1127 Glenwood Road
This baby’s hot off the presses, having hit the Mary Kay Gallagher website on Tuesday. The 4,400-square-foot house at 1127 Glenwood Road is divided up into two duplex units, one of which rents for about $3,000 a month.

This baby’s hot off the presses, having hit the Mary Kay Gallagher website on Tuesday. The 4,400-square-foot house at 1127 Glenwood Road is divided up into two duplex units, one of which rents for about $3,000 a month. Given the rental income, the level of overall historic detail and the ever-increasing desirability of the Victorian Flatbush location, we suspect this will have buyers lined up around the block at the listing price of $1,275,000. Given its corner location, the taxes don’t look too bad at $4,458 either. The only bummer we can see is a bathroom that redefines the word ‘cheesy’ and doesn’t go at all with the rest of the house. Predictions on how fast this will go?

Don’t take the bait. baba is just trying to whip everyone into a frenzy. ignore, ignore.
I live in Midwood (70th precinct) and don’t know what you’re all talking about. Since when is Midwood–which is the neighborhood south of Avenue I–high crime? Maybe there’s some geographic confusion here.
total crime numbers for 2007
5:21 – question …number don’t lie
http://www.nyc.gov/html/nypd/html/pct/cspdf.html
66th midwood – 404
72nd sunset – 437
88th fg/ch – 399
Am I missing something? why say midwood is high crime or higher than sunset?
agreed 4:43, its like being on lincoln place in park slope and saying its scary because crown heights is 15 blocks away. But hey, its standard opinion. If I had listened to those people 5 years back telling me how unsafe 6th avenue between sterling and st. marks was i wouldn’t have made $1 million plus on my brownstone to be able to buy a house here. They are either the people who always complain how expensive a neighborhood has become after it has been gentrified for a long time to the point where they “feel” it is safe to live or they can afford a $4 million brownstone without a blink of the eye.
4:43 ethnicallly diverse is what makes brooklyn and all of nyc a great city but if you actually look at the crime statistics for midwoond versus sunset park, the numbers don’t lie–Midwood is a high crime area….
…Midwood–the problem is the surrounding neighborhoods are high crime…
Yes, the Upper East Side borders Spanish Harlem. Does that mean the UES is undesirable? Clinton Hill borders Bed Stuy… Park Slope borders Sunset Park…and so on.
What the heck are you talking about baba, did you even look at the GMAP link? The house is like 15 blocks away from Flatbush, it’s a hop skip and jump from the Newkirk B or Q subway station, which is a very busy station with a shopping arcade,
how is that “scary even in midday and that is where the subway stop is”. Have you even been to Newkirk station more then once?
Sounds like baba and others see this amazingly ethnically diverse area, with the largest concentration of Victorian houses in the country, as less then desirable, just because the population is not majority white, like the suburbs.
As a college graduate, corporate job holdin’ lily white resident of a multi family house on Westminster, it’s news to me that this is a dangerous area where the delicate children of Brownstone posters (as well as some so called adults) could never possibly live.
If the Brownstone posters are so afraid of actually *living* in Brooklyn, then by all means pack your bags and move to one of these nab in the suburbs you are all so hot for.
hmm at 3:47–there is a big difference between Ditmas, very safe and Midwood, not safe at all….
