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.

We were earning less than $80k combined when we purchased our Park Slope house.
Ah, but that was a long, long time ago…..

Just to give you a clue, here are a few tidbits:
“In 2006 the average WEEKLY wage in Manhattan was $1,453, the highest and fastest growing among the largest counties in the United States”
“Since 2000, the number of children under age 5 living in Manhattan grew by more than 32%.[37] The increase is driven mostly by affluent white families with median household incomes over $300,000.”
Manhattan
Median Household income $64,217
Mean houshold income $121,549
Rob, I don’t think you understood the point. HOME BUYERS, by and large in NYC aren’t making 35K a year.
It’s not about riff raff, or putting people down or up, it’s about the facts of life.
People looking for a home to purchase in NYC make good money. Why is that so difficult to comprehend?
As I’ve said before a couple times, my friend, who is a waitress makes 80K a year and another friend who manages an Urban Outfitters in Manhattan makes 85k. Some of you really need to start looking for a new job once the economy picks back up. If for nothing else than to realize that most people MOVE to NYC to either A. Do what they love or B. Make a ton of money.
If you’re doing neither, I’m not really sure why you’ve chosen to live in the most expensive city in the U.S.
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. :-/

You can LOL all you want, but for those people in NYC interested in buying a home, 100K is on the low side of the income spectrum.
Please get out more, people.

100K each is really not batshit crazy money in NYC.
