House of the Day: 18 St. Marks Place
If you’re not someone who puts much weight on a house’s historic details, this house at 18 St. Marks Place in Boerum Hill (?) might present an interesting opportunity to get a piece of the rock. The three-family brownstone is listed for just $1,259,000 and has two income-generating units in addition to the owner’s duplex….

That’s right. This area is a little sketch. That explains it. I’ve come to learn, “there is always something..”
MarionG, you are referring to Wyckoff Gardens, not Gowanus Houses. Goldie, I’m sorry you were harassed, but how do you know the kids lived in the projects?
I guess we’re done with this one then!!!!
THL you got anything for us today???
horrible area. i used to live on pacific and recall hearing gunfire, to read the next day of a guy pulling a gun on police, have been harrassed by packs of kids from the projects while walking, have seen kids walking down the street kicking trashcans over and breaking bottles, throwing bottles at cars, and get to hear radios blasting at odd hours. all within my short year of living near there. serious buyer-beware flag here.
Gowanus houses across the street at 3rd Avenue. I used to have a friend who lived on this block. MAJOR DRUG TRAFFIC. Buyer beware for sure!!
Crappy listing.
I came across this one this week as well. It seems like a decent investment. However, I didn’t understand the description of “seven rooms” for rental. That confused me. The lack of pictures also makes me think some parts of the house are dingy and need work.
Not the greatest block.
Yes, reasonable assuming they are market-rate rentals.
But this is a dicey area. People will argue, I’m sure, but these projects are not great (and yes, I’ve lived near projects that were perfectly safe/fine — not all projects are alike).
