439-East-19th-Street-0809.jpg
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 couple of blocks away recently sold for.

  1. Grrr something’s up with my browser. Anyway, Maplewood, you should check out Marine Park or other areas of southern Brooklyn. Very safe, middle class, decent schools, express buses to Midtown.

  2. I hear crack makes you dizzy. This home doubled in cost in 10 years. Let the new buyer worry about the schools. I’d like to assume that a person will sell their Tribecca studio and buy this for all cash.

    He only preaches the Jersey gospel in the threads that display pricey homes in predominantly minority neighborhoods.

    And he admitted that his goal is to sell his mansion for 500k and buy a BH studio because”prices are going down” BUT
    he fails to realize that by that time, his mansion will sell for 17,000.00. Roughly the cost of a kitchen reno with high end Ikea.

    that’s exactly the problem the average home price is 10-12 times the median home. it should be 3-4 times otherwise people are house poor. as average price is for the newcomers–old residents have already established a lower entry point–brooklyn is unaffordable to newcomers

  4. Still haven’t been to Mimi’s Hummus… but you’re right. I bet some chickpeas could get me into ParkSloper’s family.

    I never found out if I was allowed to marry her — or if she was ‘attractive,’ financially speaking.

  5. Like I said, the average income in Brooklyn is 40 something grand a year and the average home price is, I believe 500K or 600K.

    You are on a blog about the most expensive, and least middle class areas in all of Brooklyn. There is still 80% of the borough which is made up primarily of middle and lower class.

    I’m not making these numbers up. For every 750k house, there is one for 250k.

    It’s just not in Park Slope or Brooklyn Heights. Or a masterpiece of a house (like this one) in Ditmas Park…
