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.

Price Cuts at Bed Stuy Townhouses: Is This a Trend? [Brownstoner]
Deriding other posters as “children” while remarking “LOLOLOLOLOLOL” speaks for itself.
Why is it ok to bash Park Slope for everything under the sun from breast feeding, to strollers, to hipsters, to milf’s to whatever the hell it is, but the first time someone says that Bed Stuy isn’t Sesame Street, everyone FREAKS OUT?
It’s more the truth than any of the previous about PS, but I guess talking about Park Slope is just so much more fun?
Crime and racial tension are definitely less fun than a MILF.
Yeah, 3:03? Pot. Kettle. Black.
I don’t see your photo, name and address either.
“I wish you could hear how ridiculous you sound trying to make everyone believe Bed Stuy is so great.”
And I wish you could see how jealous you sound continuously trying to put down those who are perfectly happy living here.
It’s easy not to be ashamed when you are leaving anonymous comments on a real estate blog.
“The majority of the people don’t want to run around and tell people they live in Bed Stuy.”
Why not?
I’m certainly not ashamed to tell anyone that I live in one of the most architecturally beautiful sections of Bklyn, or that I live in a neighborhood where most of us speak to each other, and keep an eye out for each other. Nor am I ashamed to admit that I live in a neighborhood where middle class people can still make a home for themselves in an historic brownstone, or that I live in a community with strong cultural and historic roots.
Is my neighborhood perfect, and does it have everything I need? No. But ashamed to say I live here? Never.
Hahaha.
Like I said….
NO other neighborhood elicits such defensive comments.
You are all a bunch of children. I wish you could hear how ridiculous you sound trying to make everyone believe Bed Stuy is so great.
God willing I’ll be there!
LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Can’t we just call it like it is?
Bed Stuy is fine. Some great homes, a feeling of unease about living in a place where a lot of the young generation of people don’t want you around and above average crime. Sounds like Philly. I love Philly.
The Bed Stuy Tour is October 20th.
“There is no other neighborhood that elicits such boosting and defensive comments than those in Bed Stuy.
For that reason alone, I think it says a ton.
I don’t need to tell everyone how great Park Slope is, because everyone already knows.”
Give me just a small break. People make a point out of defending Bed Stuy to counteract all the needless fearmongering and veiled racism. But fortunately, misguided souls like you are helping to keep the property values just low enough to allow us to retain some healthy economic diversity… and if we want to see how the other half lives, we can always hop over to Park Slope and watch your overentitled preschooler express himself by demolishing the display counter at the corner bakery.
