House of the Day: 905 Lincoln Place
Here’s a new listing that probably would have been priced $100,000 or $200,000 higher a few months ago. It’s a three-story, two-family limestone at 905 Lincoln Place in Crown Heights. The block is lovely and the house has amazing wood moldings and floors; no word on the bathrooms and kitchens. Anyway, there’s something refreshingly solid…

Anyway, there’s something refreshingly solid about this one: Beautiful but not grandiose house priced at a level that a non-Wall Street family can afford. Think it’ll go for the asking price?

I think your comments apply to Bed-Stuy as well MM.
Park Slope is so perfect it is boring.
What Montrose said.
“We never said CH is perfect. What neighborhood is?”
Park Slope?
“Alarmist stupidity certainly is up, higher than any crime rate.”is that so, Montrose?
OBVIOUSLY. You prove your own point.
Last time: Crown Heights is a very large neighborhood, the size of Park Slope, Prospect Hts and PLG put together. It covers at least 3 precincts, 3 or 4 zip codes, and has a population with a mixture of black people from all over the English, French and Spanish Caribbean, black Americans, Hassidic and ultra orthodox Jews, and smaller populations of Caucasians, Asians, East Indians and Arabs. Did I forget anyone? We range in incomes from dirt poor to pretty well off, and I’m sure, some pretty rich. We got people who get along just fine, and we have people who hate each other. We have employers and employees. We have some of the most beautiful and important houses of worship in the city, and we have people who prey on their neighbors. We have great blocks of gorgeous houses and apartment buildings, and we have projects, fugly new housing, and run down blocks that you don’t want to walk through. We have crime, and we have criminals. We also have block associations, block watchers and police officers and first responders who live here. We have bad people who do bad things, and we have many, many more people who just go to work each day and come home to friends and family.
We may be on the whole, poorer than many neighborhoods, but we are quintessential New York. If we are too black, too foreign, too crime ridden for your taste, then don’t move here. If you can’t handle the bad schools, the lack of amenities, then don’t move here. If you are afraid of everything and everyone who isn’t like you, then don’t move here.
If I annoy you, don’t let that stop you. It’s a big neighborhood, you’ll probably never meet me. But don’t let some hater stop you if you are even remotely interested. We never said CH is perfect. What neighborhood is?
“I would love for someone to please tell me, once and for all, why ANY good remark about living in CH has to somehow be predicated by a dire warning about crime.”
Oh yeah…well I’D like to know why at the very mention of Park Slope, there is a plethora of nasty remarks about strollers, moms, yuppies, 7th avenue sucking ass or how much big parks suck.
Or at the mention of Carroll Gardens, there are idiotic statements about goombahs and the mob.
You acting like the poor, helpful Crown Heights resident is ridiculous when every neighborhood discussed on here gets trashed.
The problem is your blind exuberance for your neighborhood. You are even more annoying than the people who constantly tout Park Slope as the next Garden of Eden.
Which personally I think is a whole helluva lot closer to being true than Crown Heights is at this point in time.
2.05 you’re so funny. You completely forgot the anti-white commments. Perhaps you’re too clueless to notice them though, or like others, you think its ok to not practice what you preach.
“why ANY good remark about living in CH has to somehow be predicated by a dire warning about crime.”
Because there has never been a single post in anyway related to crown heights that didn’t elicit a response from you proclaiming the wonders of the neighborhood. We’ve heard your opinion on it. Give it a rest.
Montrose lie:
“Alarmist stupidity certainly is up, higher than any crime rate.”
is that so, Montrose?
***
Lincolnlimestone lie:
“you need to get out more and stop reading the crime blogs to form your opinions.”
why is that? afraid the crime blogs will tell the actual truth?
“Cupcakes solve all hatred.”
as long as they’re not cheeseburger flavored.
