House of the Day: 439 East 19th Street
We’re liking the look of this single-family house at 439 East 19th Street in Ditmas Park—the original built-ins and coffered ceilings are stunning. The 2,800-square-foot house changed hands in 2002 for $775,000 and just hit the market now for $1,249,000. That comes out to about $450 per square foot, less than what this house a…

“perhaps i just dont have what it takes to survive in nyc! hahah”
Stop stealing my lines, Rob.
Tyburg:
I literally just laughed so hard, I nearly fell off my chair.
P Sloper…agree with your 5:14 post…well said.
Arkady …. I will refrain from commenting on the “one swallow” line.
Rob,
At least your dog is sophisticated enough to poop on concrete. I hear those dogs in the burbs prefer grassy backyards.
How uncultured!
“This is really the kind of crap you ONLY hear in NYC and its what makes New Yorkers distasteful and ugly to the rest of the country.”
I am recently back from a week in the Bay area, and trust me Dave…they have these SAME discussions about how sophisticated their children are and the like.
Same goes for LA. Maybe even worse than here in some instances. They are far more materialistic when it comes to their kids than they are here, if you can imagine.
When it comes to kids, it don’t matter whether you’re from Beverly Hills or Hillbillyville, everyone think their kids shit don’t stink.
rob:
you owe it to your dog to move to Jerzy. No wait, he won’t become cool, cultured, sophisticated
rob, I hear ya. I gave up my aquarium because along with it my house in the ghetto is also underwater and it was either the fish or the weekly case of Amarone.
I know several parents in the Slope who have one or more kids & median income (which in my opinion is actually low for NYC) who do just fine here.
I know people in Ridgewood, NJ w/ fairly high incomes & who are sophisticated & polished but whose kids are dull potatoes.
You can find any kind of kid, any level of income & any level of education, behavior, poise, etc. – one swallow does not a summer make.
Look at some of the scholarship kids from the Times – some who lived on their own in subways & managed to make top SAT scores! Nature, nurture – each contributes. This whole discussion is pointless.
Park Sloper…
(1) Do you plan on giving your daughter a chunk of cash to buy a house when she gets married? and (2) Is she single and looking for a husband?
I am very much interested in meeting her. I like worldly women, especially ones with dowries.
