House of the Day: 64 Prospect Place
Here’s a nice two-family in Park Slope for under $3 million. Then again, the Queen Anne house is smaller than your average brownstone so the asking price of $2,650,000 only gets you 2,910 square feet of living space. Nonetheless, the exterior and parlor floor have charm galore and the garden apartment generates $2,200 a month….

This whole financial mess, and it is a huge mess, is directly tied to the ridiculous run-up of real estate prices over the past five years. A total bubble. Liar’s mortgages, sub-prime mortgages, nothing-down mortgages. Everything is starting to implode.
Let’s just have it done with so we can move on. New York has held out on pure hype. That is our principal natural resource. But even the NY hype is only good for so long.
You paid how much for that delapidated hundred and thirty year old house in Clinton Hill? Sorry.
you are an idiot for believing him, 7:26.
are you 5?
just THREE days ago, the Bear Stearns CEO was saying, with a straight face, that all was well with his bank…
4:20 “Get a clue. Lehman is next; then Katie bar the door.”
Lehman is next. Really????? Have you seen their liquid asset base (And I don’t mean their minimal exposure to dodgy debt a la Bear Stearns (BS for short! 😉 ) I am just pissed I was on Jury Duty today and not able to buy their stock today when it hit $20.25 and then closed at $31.75 – could have made a killing!
Oh well I suppose I’ll sit back in my Brooklyn Townhouse tonight knowing that even with a 50% drop in value (based on NYC Council property tax valuation) I’ll still be ahead from what I paid in 2005 – and knowing that my mortgage is still easily manageable despite the turmoil on Wall Street.
Not worth it i would rather move to Cobble hill or Carroll Gardens or Brooklyn heights. Just my take
I prefer a big schlong myself.
And a nice round bubble butt.
Like two Virginia hams…RESTIN ON THE BONE!
5:28 Im with you! But we all like big Breastasis.
Now “the guys in investment banking” don’t count as Wall Streeters? What the hell.
Many of the Wall Streeters live in exactly the places many posters here hate. Brand-new gigantic houses in the exurbs. These guys do not mind a two hour communte each way if they can have their big McMansion with pool and all the trimmings. Very few of them appreciate the finer points of Queen Anne detailing. They want big rooms, bit home theaters, big SUV’s, and big breasts on their women. They’re Wall Streeters! The Hedge Fund guys are a little more genteel, but not much.
It is the attorneys and the guys in investment banking and insurance firms that buy in Brooklyn. Well some of them.
