House of the Day: 1094 Park Place
This beauty at 1094 Park Place in Crown Heights caught our eye as an Open House Pick last fall when it was on the market with Corcoran for $1,395,000. It didn’t find any takers at that price back then, and it’s now being reoffered by Massey Knakal for $1,200,000. While that’s still a lot of…
This beauty at 1094 Park Place in Crown Heights caught our eye as an Open House Pick last fall when it was on the market with Corcoran for $1,395,000. It didn’t find any takers at that price back then, and it’s now being reoffered by Massey Knakal for $1,200,000. While that’s still a lot of dough for a house in Crown Heights in this market, at least it’s in move-in condition. And while some of the new kitchen finishes aren’t exactly to our liking, you won’t be lacking for cold storage space! And the covered driveway ain’t too shabby either.

Open House Picks 11/2/07 [Brownstoner]
cobblehiller- having posted a perfectly reasonable post about people judging my neighborhood I suddenly get raked over the coals by sam who proceeds to give me a lesson in how to market Crown heights- and in a not particularly nice way. His, among quite a few snarky comments of other posters -sure I can get a little pissy. I responded to him and then you jumped in. And as you admit, without reading all the posts- so your first assumption is to blame me.
I could have called you names or told you to STFU as has been said to me many times before. The level of nastiness on brownstoner is amazing and frankly, I don’t tolerate it well. I merely told you to read everything before you jump in with both feet. If that sounds pretty nasty to you, just imagine what your post sounded like to me. So you can pretty much interpret what I said anyway you choose, but if you had been more careful in the first place, you and I would not be having this conversation.
I was born into and grew up amongst very affluent families.
Believe you me, they are allergic to poor people. And in my experience, the moment a family of color makes money they want to high tail it out of the inner city as fast as possible.
I like the little urban la-la land that posters on this site have created. I really do, I think it’s quaint. Our Montrosse Morris (who uses the name of a notoriously anti-semetic and anti-catholic victorian architect)should be paid by the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce for being such a sincere booster.
I just like to inject a little reality now and then to the threads.
cheerio!
“In the 1950s…”
NOP – How ’bout Post Kelvin Martin Albany Houses? We didn’t have crack and youth gun violence in the 50’s. Fast forward.
bxgrl: While you’re correct that I should have read sam’s comment perhaps more carefully for the nuances of ‘snark’ – I have to say that I was just startled at the level of vehemence in your post. It seemed too much to me – an over-reaction. It wasn’t a ‘mob mentality’ thing. It was an honest gut response to the tone of your post. And true to form, you continued on your way by shooting off a pretty nasty post to me. It reflects poorly on you, not me. Check yourself.
lurker, I imagine the buckets of change and lots of silver being a margarine container of pennies and a few forks he stole from the Golden Garden Chinese Restaurant in Lodi.
denton, if you recall one of the What’s forum threads. He did say he kept buckets of change and lots of silver. I expect he’s cranky from lack of sleep- his mattress has gotta be lumpy!
Nostalgic on Park, we are reading your posts and enjoying them. Thank you for continuing to share stories like the one above.
TownhouseLady, I love you for keeping the legend of the Dyker Heights “Mansion” alive. I did walking tours of a number of areas in south Brooklyn last weekend, including Dyker Heights. I didn’t see (or look for) the “Mansion”, but I saw some wonderful streets in Bay Ridge and Sheepshead Bay with gorgeous homes.
That’s good, What. Stock market is bad. Real estate is bad. I’d like to look under your mattress!
ah, I don’t know Montrose. Maybe sam can give you a few pointers on how to phrase your answer better because, ya know, you really don’t do your neighborhood any favors by telling it like it is. Why, one would think you actually lived in Crown Heights.
note to self: mark calendar for bubbly date at Park Place.
