House of the Day: 141 Quincy Street
This 1890 house at 141 Quincy Street in Bedford Stuyvesant is a charmer, to be sure. In fact, the renovated kitchen is the only real downer about the two-family (configured as one) house. The porch, plaster moldings, pier mirrors, etc. are all very impressive. As the listing takes pains to point out, the house is…
This 1890 house at 141 Quincy Street in Bedford Stuyvesant is a charmer, to be sure. In fact, the renovated kitchen is the only real downer about the two-family (configured as one) house. The porch, plaster moldings, pier mirrors, etc. are all very impressive. As the listing takes pains to point out, the house is also pretty close (a block and a half, actually) to the Clinton Hill border. Given all this, and the fact that you could move right in, the asking price of $795,000 seems pretty reasonable to us. We bet it goes for within 5 percent of that number.

hahahah. yeah sometimes i question that very same thing

Taking the median Manhattan income is silly. Manhattan goes to 225th Street. You have a whole lot of people above 96th Street that drag it down, not to mention the LES.
Look at the NYT RE section is any community. The median income can never afford the median home. But there is a subset of the median who can.
BTW I like the ‘excellent neighbors’ quote. Kinda weird. Possible litigation.
“perhaps i should stop associating with riff-raff who make under 100,000K a year. you know.. like 99 percent of people who live in nyc. :-/”
No, you should should stop associating with people who buy houses! lol.
1 & 3 are not happening though
It’s not that couples are making 300K-400K when they move to Fort greene, prospect, bed stuy. What happens is one of the following:
1. Bought before the bubble
2. Bought but are landlords in order to afford
2. Leveraged above their income
And Queen Latifah on TV. I guess it’s the air or the water.
fort greene is wear bert and ernie lived right?

Kids…it was a joke! I was joking that 11217 (can you change that to an actually name?) “should” include FG in with the rabble…just a joke. I assume you all were just extending the joke for a little while longer, no?
Why I laugh is that no one would have included Fort Greene in any sentence with Park Slope in my “recent” memory (i.e. all my short-term memory seems wiped out each fresh morning and I only remember things from 10 years ago and before with any sharpness!).
