House of the Day: 29 Maple Street
29 Maple Street isn’t as charming on the outside as a lot of other houses in Prospect Lefferts Gardens but the interior has a lot of charm. The private driveway is a serious bonus, as is the third exposure it creates on the side of the house which results in tons of sunlight. The house…
29 Maple Street isn’t as charming on the outside as a lot of other houses in Prospect Lefferts Gardens but the interior has a lot of charm. The private driveway is a serious bonus, as is the third exposure it creates on the side of the house which results in tons of sunlight. The house traded for $595,000 in 2004. Now it’s asking $899,000. Let’s go to the pricing widget…

The house is very cute. I wonder if the driveway is shared.
When people say we’re back to 2004 prices, are they talking inflation-adjusted or raw numbers?
Wasder – agreed, but my husband is obessed with my safety – it’s his thing really(sweet) and was the main theme of my bridesmaid’s speech at our wedding…
It’s funny b/c when we are over there he always laughs and marvels at “all the white people” around on Flatbush and comments if this was 10 years ago you would never seem them over here.
To each their own – I certainly would be fine living over there, but I think he’s a lot more careful and sensitive as we are an interracial couple and that throws a wrench into the mix.
Yep that’s why I said check on stats for PLG not the entire precinct.
gemini–I certainly understand anyone’s concerns for the safety of their family. My friends with small children over there are loving it. But to each his/her own for sure and I would never cast judgement on anyone with a different perspective on this sort of thing.

that’s the compstat report for the 71st precinct.
I think even the crime stats from the 71st are misleading. The precinct is enormous, and stretches all the way over to Brownsville and East New York. The western edge(by prospect park) is where most of these listings are, and where the historic district is, and has a much safer vibe. That said, it’s not Park Slope, and that’s why the houses cost about half what they would directly across the park.
Gemini, you can call Officer Vinnie Martinos at the 71st Precinct and ask about the general neighborhood or even specific blocks. Also he could direct you to the local resident who is the police liaison who can give you info. The community is pretty organized tracking crime and staying in contact with police.
A few years ago I looked at this house near there on Hawthorne. The neighborhood is pretty but that part of Hawthorne, particularly the tenants in the place we looked at, had an edgy heavy druggy vibe.
A former co-worker, a black woman originally from New Orleans, said that she had been visiting NYC all her life and would never consider living around there. She now lives in Crown Heights.
Traditional – where do you go to get those figures?
am curious – I’d like to know (secretly i love those houses)
