House of the Day: 316 Maple Street
316 Maple Street has to be one of the more overpriced houses we’ve seen in a long time. The listing for the three-story brownstone does not include a single photo (rarely a good sign), mentioning only that there are original details. It’s listed on Property Shark as a legal one-family but the listing makes it…
316 Maple Street has to be one of the more overpriced houses we’ve seen in a long time. The listing for the three-story brownstone does not include a single photo (rarely a good sign), mentioning only that there are original details. It’s listed on Property Shark as a legal one-family but the listing makes it sound like it’s divided into two or three. What’s more, this is not prime PLG. Were this place in Lefferts Manor, the asking price of $1,200,000 might be doable. In the Nostrand-New York block though? Not a chance. $900,000 if they’re lucky, we’d guess.

It gives me comfort to know that White and Proud in PLG is cleaning up the neighborhood. Before White and Proud came along we were all smoking crack, hitting the bottle, and robbing every chance we got.
It’s only 4, that’s right four blocks from the Park, but it’s a world away.
You all underestimate PLG. The residents here have worked very hard to clean the neighborhood up and we have had real success. Is there still much to be done? Yes, of course. But we’re getting there, one step at a time.
As I said earlier in this thread, whenever Brownstoner needs to drive his traffic up he creates a PLG thread. Gee, wonder where the hate-posts came from when it was a perfectly civil conversation going on. A conversation in which everyone, even those living in PLG, agreed this house is priced too high. The open houses in PLG are flooded with people from Park Slope and Manhattan. Some properties are proving to be priced too high, as we see in EVERY neighborhood in Brooklyn coming out of the bubble with sellers still in a bit of denial, but that doesn’t mean nobody wants to live in PLG. Some need to take their high school logic class again, because they don’t seem to have retained anything.
People like 3:19 come on here and post total lies. Morons. What is about PLG’s inreased popularity that makes you feel so threatened?
50% of the new homeowners on our block of Lefferts Manor came here from Manhattan.
Nobody who spends a million dolars on real estate does so without asking people who actually live in a neighborhood what it’s like there. So people like 3:19 are performing a futile task. Except to entertain fellow bitter renters.
I find the asking price to be astounding. I mean, come on…for this place, in THIS area??? The RE broker was hitting the pipe this time.
% of people who move to park slope from manhattan: 80%
% of people who move to plg from manhattan: 1%
so you better hope people from park slope and other areas of brooklyn stay interested in buying in plg.
if you don’t want people from park slope moving to plg, then you will have a lot of empty houses sitting on the market a while.
no one else around seems to want them.
Hey 3:07, I’m with you!
Just explaining why the prices are lower as you get far away from Flatbush in PLG.
Doesn’t make it right. . .just the way it is
