915SterlingPlace1107.jpgThe four-story house at 915 Sterling Place is a little on the narrow side (17 feet) but makes up for it with an extra-deep lot (120 feet). The listing claims that the house is “loaded with original details” but the one interior photo included isn’t too convincing; the fact that it’s divided up into four units also doesn’t bode particularly well for the preservation of interior details, but this part of town does have some great woodwork so maybe there’s something to it. And what about the asking price of $895,000? We suspect it’ll go for a little less, especially since the seller is already being touted as “motivated.” Anyone been inside?

  1. I hear you, Montrose.

    But the point is that now these same homes purchased 8 years ago are now a million.

    They are no longer within reach for the middle class.

    There will soon be NO middle class in these neighborhoods. That is the part that needs to be worked on. The middle class is the backbone of our society, and they are no longer able to buy in areas like these, which are still quite poor in a lot of senses.

    Do you see how odd it is that middle class can not afford to live in a poor area???

    Only very wealthy and very poor.

    The only middle class are those like you left over from decades past, but there is very little new middle class folks moving in…you know…those that make 40K, 50K, 60K, 70K a year…

  2. being middle class and living here since 1950 is not what we’re talking about. Those people are not middle class anymore. and they’re old and not working and I bet rarely leave the house

  3. Ok, 4:58, I grant you it’s harder now, but it was possible 8 years ago when I bought my house. Most of the black middle class people I was speaking of earlier bought about the same time or earlier, not to mention the people who have been here since the 50’s, which was the point of my argument. Middle class people do live here, and have been living here for some time.

    5:02 – No.
