House of the Day: 216 17th Street
A real brownstone in Park Slope for $1,499,000? Yes, but, before you get too excited, it’s 17-feet wide, in the South Slope and needs work (it’s been in the same family for 58 years, after all). It’s not all bad at 216 17th Street, though. There are some nice architectural details and the taxes are…

The expressway is quite a bit underground compared to the streets. It’s really not all that bad.
If the expressway is right behind the backyard that certainly diminishes my enthusiasm.
I know 3 people who live in Concord Village and they’ve only said they live in Downtown Brooklyn to me. NEVER said Brooklyn Heights.
Guess you travel in circles where people like to falsify their true self, Sam.
That block is the on-ramp to the Prospect Expressway so it always has a lot of traffic. Based on the map, this house looks like it’s closer to 5th Ave and past the ramp so that’s a little better. Oh but the Expressway is at the end of your backyard. Cute house but I wouldn’t want to live there if I could avoid it.
Ask people in Concord Village where they live and they will say “Brooklyn Heights”. But saying it doesn’t make it so.
Don’t under estimate Sunset Park. As you go further out into the 40’s and 50’s, entire blocks are Brownstone, Limestone, and Brick. Next wave (who knows how many years) will get there as well. They won’t be pretending to be anything else at that point.
Ou812, call it what you will. Ask the people on that street where they live and they say Park Slope (I know two people who live on this block and they insist on PS). Ask folks around the corner, they say GH. In the end, I suppose it matters not.
Greenwood Heights? Never existed until the realtors got involved. “The Heights”, please.
This is really Greenwood Heights.
Calling it Park Slope is just a lie. It makes the sellers seem less than honest.
