House of the Day: 1407 Dorchester Road
When we first highlighted it as an Open House Pick back in May, the modest-sized house at 1407 Dorchester Road in Ditmas Park West was asking an ambitious $1,100,000. Almost five months later, the owners have lowered their sights and are now asking $950,000. We think the house has a nice vibe to it but…

Almost five months later, the owners have lowered their sights and are now asking $950,000. We think the house has a nice vibe to it but don’t know this block well enough to hazard a guess whether this price will fly. (Okay, we’ll hazard a guess that the price is still too high.) There was an open house yesterday. Did anyone stop by?

Umm, the ones growing in my backyard are quite sweet this time of year.
So here’s the thing: I REALLY wouldn’t want to live in SoHo (though, as I readily mentioned there are places in Manhattan that I’d consider).
And I’m REALLY glad you wouldn’t want to live in Brooklyn.
Cheers.
Sour grapes are a bitch, huh.
Who lives in SoHo anymore? It’s a collection of frame shops, chain stores and restaurants that haven’t changed their menu since they opened in 1993–a tatty remnant of its former hip self.
There might be a few places in 212 that could tempt me out of 718–LES(!), parts of the Village, Tribeca, NoLita–but freakin’ SoHo?
Hilarious.
Lol. No 4:46, you’re not a tool. You merely aspire to be a tool.
Alas, you’re a tool and I’m not. You really sound like a caricature of someone who lives there. You also spelled “mettle” wrong, btw. And to quote an old street sticker from the 70s–“Soho sucks, bring back the trucks.”
Yes, but is Soho the epicenter of the universe? Of New York, or Manhattan, even? Perhaps for you it is, but maybe not for 9:24. Certainly not for me. Maybe 9:24 wants to be in Gramercy Park or the West Village. Maybe they want to be in Fort Green or Boerum Hill. Or maybe right where they are, wherever that is.
And yet, I’m in Soho. You’re not.
hey, Soho. 9:24 here. I think you’ve sufficiently proven that you’re the “loser” here by your ridiculous statements.
I know they do and I have no problem with that. I just don’t like it when people play the ‘cool’ card in order to belittle other places, especially since virtually any place can be ‘trumped’ in that game. The Brooklyner says “Oh, I’m too cool to live in Jersey”; the Manhattanite says “Oh, I’m too cool to live in Brooklyn; the Parisian says, “Oh, I’m too cool to live in Manhattan”…and on and on it goes, like some pathetic merry-go-round.
