Did anyone make it to the open house at 520 11th Street last weekend? The three-story brick house has lots of character on the inside but it is only three stories and not in the ritziest part of Park Slope. As a result, we’re hard pressed to see how anyone’s going to cough up the $2,250,000 asking price for this baby. Waddya think?

or prospect heights. more transit options than SS and some blocks are much prettier. (not saying anything about this block, since i don’t know it.)
Nice try 5:17, but I am not feelin’ the P-Slope Hater thang right now.
Not everyone likes Park Slope – North or South.
I much prefer to live in Fort Greene – a Much cooler vibe and mix of people. I had a choice – also I could easy say that at least 15 people that i mention Ft Gr over Pk SL pick FT GR.
i remember looking at a house in 12th street in 2003. it was for sale for 1.1 million.
not sure where you got the idea that these were selling for 400K 5 years ago. that’s just not correct.
Short a floor ans short on sense.
4:29, in 2003 these were selling or 400K? I don’t think so. We bought our house a block away from here in 2003 for 750k.
Park Slope has actually had quite moderate price appreciation over the years. In 1997, homes in the North Slope were already fetching a million for the nice ones. It’s places like Bed Stuy, Prospect Heights, etc where you could buy a house in 1997 for 150k and now they are worth a million which have seen the astronomical price appreciation.
In Park Slope it’s about three times what it was 10-15 years ago. In some of these fringe hoods, it’s been more like 8-10 times.
Those are the places that are in severe need of a correction.
4:30– These houses were not going for 400-500K 5 or 6 years ago. They were going for 700-950 or more depending on the block.
Does the pond attract mosquitoes?
5-6 years ago these houses were going for $400-$500k. Wish I’d bought then, as even in this market you’d at LEAST double your money … but $2.25 million for this crapola is truly insane.
