House of the Day: 158A Nevins Street
This small brick house at 158A Nevins Street in Boerum Hill certainly isn’t cheap on a per square foot basis but, regardless of size, we suspect that the prospect of a house in Boerum Hill for $1,229,000 (especially one that’s in good shape) will be enough to get a few folks out of their barcaloungers…
This small brick house at 158A Nevins Street in Boerum Hill certainly isn’t cheap on a per square foot basis but, regardless of size, we suspect that the prospect of a house in Boerum Hill for $1,229,000 (especially one that’s in good shape) will be enough to get a few folks out of their barcaloungers this weekend. The house, which is less than 16 feet wide and only 36 feet deep, sits on a shorter-than-normal lot of 67 feet. But if you’re a house person, this is going to look pretty good compared to a similarly priced apartment, like this loft on 12th Street. Agree?

FUCK TEXAS IN THE ASS
“This house (not mine) was bought for around a $100K in 1983…
in ’98 he pulled 300k in equity…
in 2002 he pulled 700k…
and sold it in 05 for 1.84 million plus a downpayment…”
Now the reverse will happen to the recent buyer.

there are hundreds of examples like this in BH…and by the way, we are proud of our racial distribution.

White 47.90%
Black 31.60%
Native 0.60%

and we are rest assured that it has no sway on our property values.
whatever kuroko. cracker?
in 1997 bought a brownstone in cobble hill on Kane for $650K, avg. prices in Boerum Hill were about $450K. fast forward to now. The differences in prices between the 2 hoods are not a mere couple hundred thousand apart.
check the differences between prospect hts and park slope in the same time period.
just being realistic.
Oh great. A cracker grows in Brooklyn of all places. The over/under on this thread just went from 45 to 145.
i am well into my ’40’s and have watched gentrification from my old town, Chicago, and here in Brooklyn over the last 20 years, and I can say that for sure, old white (like Italian) or hispanic neighborhoods, are a better investment and are way safer.
as a white person, i would never now consider buying in any predominently black neighborhood or near any projects. this is what i’ve learned from experience.
take you 1.2 mill to a different neighborhood.
“BABY JOHN: Who wouldn’t wanna belong to the Jets!”
I am amused by the back and forth about the qualities of different neighborhoods in Brownstone Brooklyn. What is this, West Side Story? Let’s all rumble. Instead of knives and clubs we can whack each other with copies of our jumbo mortgages and slice each other up with our metro card.
