House of the Day: 272 Halsey Revisited
On the heels of several price cuts on Bed Stuy townhouses last week comes news that 272 Halsey, which we featured back in June when it was on the market for $1,175,000, has had its asking price reduced to the oddly specific number of $1,097,450. Although this is a cute house, it needs some work…
On the heels of several price cuts on Bed Stuy townhouses last week comes news that 272 Halsey, which we featured back in June when it was on the market for $1,175,000, has had its asking price reduced to the oddly specific number of $1,097,450. Although this is a cute house, it needs some work and was overpriced to begin with so there’s not a whole lot to read into here. Our guess is that it’ll have to come down at least 10 percent more before finding a buyer.

@ 7:30pm not you again with this all will be worthless b/c of AY…
let me ask you this do you own or rent??? and I am curious why do you think that iwt will be worthless please entertain us…
@ 7:17pm……Have you taken the time to walk around Bed-Stuy???
Let me guess NO. I can teall you that on my block alone there are white that have moved into the neighborhood, I can go to Nostrand and I see whites there even in Stuy Heights….whether they are renting or owning they are moving in….I think deep down you may a little bit of racial anxiety, I can tell, segregated, you say from all the five bouroughs you are joking right??? please tell that you are because I can tell you…Howard Beach is segregated….Hm Bay Ridge where Yusef Hawkins was killed is segregated…so before you start tapping the ish do your homework!!!
It might be great, but it’s anything but diverse. It’s probably one of the most segregated communities in all 5 boroughs actually.

Don’t go there, you are already defeating yourself. Try Howard beach, Mill Basin, Most of Richmond County, Breezy Pt. White people put up signs for segregation, c’mon.
Let’s not forget this will be worthless once Atlantic Yards is built.
The meaning of DIVERSE is that which most closely resembles our society as a whole with many different backgrounds.
Last I checked the U.S. was not 85% black.
Park Slope more closely resembles the 65% white, 15% black, 15% hispanic, 5% asian or therabouts that represents our country…
A neighborhood that is nearly all african american is not diverse.

sorry for the typos..writing a bit too fast
People…… enough already!!!RThis is Brooklyn period crime happens every where just this afternoon someone was shot in cold blodd in Fort Greene…. a couple of months ago a cop was shot in Park Slope earliere this year a man was killed im Brooklyn height on his front stopp by his brother. People please get over it there is crime all overe the place, and I agree to some extent that Bed-Stuy needs more than just another nail salon, hair shop but more book stores..etc…etc.., but I see the potential of living here! i love it amd I love the diversity and to be homest I think with the Atlantic Yards,
Bed-Stuy will comps may go up!!!! Oh and the person who wrothe that park Slope is great….Hmmm i say that the neighborhood lacks diversity….reminds me of mid town Manhattan way too crowded…
but to each is own!! give me Bed-Stuy anyday!!!!!
never said i was ashamed of anything. that’s the difference.
you need a course on functional reading.
It’s easy not to be ashamed when you are leaving anonymous comments on a real estate blog.
