Our family left Sunset Park about 5 years ago. Our Brownstone sold for just under 500,000. Four generations lived in that house and it was a very sad day when we left.
While the house was beautiful, the neighborhood had completely deteriorated. Our home was burglarized three times, a family member was mugged and mexicans were moving in at an alarming rate. Greedy homeowners were renting out their apartments and unfinished basements to families of 10. Streets were filthy and littered with crack vials and parking was unreal. The final straw was when PTA school meetings were conducted in Spanish first,then interpeted in ENGLISH. If you love Brownstones as I do, they’re worth every penny. But due to the area it’s in, this one shouldn’t go for more than 600,000.
Chinese won’t go there unless it’s in $700’s. This house will sell in low $800’s.
I live on 37th and it’s mostly young, white families. The area is becoming so much nicer now.
Actually, I meant from 38th to 59th. 37th down is pretty quiet and safe- Greenwood Heights- it’s no wonder they don’t want to be associated with SP.
5th, ave from 36st to about 59th is a hispanic nabe.
Aren’t people always mugged and stabbed as well in park slope’s dean street and closer to flatbush ave. Wait not in PS, no way!
NYPD records showed reported suspects for 2006 was about 11% white and 4% asian.
Oh really? how about at least once a week reading about a shooting or stabbing along 5th, ave from 36st to about 59th, st?
wake up!
So not true 8:41. Asian gangs are some of the most violent that we have come across. They prey on their own community though which is why you don’t here much about it. Their Chinese victims do not under any circumstances like to report the criminal activity to the police. As the NYPD recruited more Asian officers who can come back with intel, much of this activity is only now just coming to the surface. Queens, Chinatown and this section of Brooklyn have the worst problems. The only criminal activity that spills out into the rest of the community right now is child prostitution and “massage” parlors.
