House of the Day: 166 Prospect Place
The four-story brownstone at 166 Prospect Place is lovely, full of historic detail (lots of original woodwork) and clearly well cared for. It’s also on one of the nicest blocks in Prospect Heights.

The four-story brownstone at 166 Prospect Place is lovely, full of historic detail (lots of original woodwork) and clearly well cared for. It’s also on one of the nicest blocks in Prospect Heights. The asking price, however, seems better suited to the other side of Flatbush. Is there any precedent for a 4-story brownstone in this immediate area (especially one without one of the extra-deep backyards Prospect Heights is known for) fetching this price? The best comp we can think of is 202 Prospect Place, which started out with similar ambitions (asking $2,495,000) but ended up closing for $2,100,000. We could see something similar happening here.

what did you pay for your place?
Regarding schools, this is outside of PS321. The schools (including PS9) are currently very very bad, but are improving at a fast clip.
Re: “You are an idiot if you think people who spend 2.5 million vs. 3 million a few blocks away are ‘less uptight'”
Hmmm. Somebody does not know about the strong identity that Prospect Heights has. I, too, used to completely dismiss anyone foolish to live on the other side of Flatbush, but recently I have realized that Park Slope is not so bad. Not that I would ever leave Prospect Heights.

The price seems a little high, but not out of scale with current apartment prices. The neighborhood is desirable not only because of the housing stock, but the location near great transportation, Prospect Park, etc. Also, the neighborhood is likely to be landmarked, which I think will help us maintain our nice features.
What school do the screaming kids in this nabe go to? Is it any good?

The stroller moms should take their screaming kids to the suburbs, where they won’t bother me. Then their kids can grow up, move to the city, and complain about how the suburbs suck but all the stroller moms should move there anyway.
