House of the Day: 494 East 16th Street
This house at 494 East 16th Street has a lot going for it. It’s not the biggest or the fanciest house in Ditmas Park, but the corner house has some beautiful floors, beams and moldings to recommend it. The 2,900-square-foot pad sold for $930,000 in 2007 and is now asking $1,035,000. Reasonable? 494 East 16th…

You want city-ish? Walk 2-5 minutes in ANY direction from this house.
Tybur6, just going by hopstop.com (which is uncannily accurate IME), from this addy to my old rental in midtown west.
59 minutes door to door (includes walking time & transfers).
EXCLUDING walking time & xfers, it is still over 45 minutes to Times Square.
Oh, and BH, feel free to say, “Sorry, Tybur6, I stand corrected. You probably know better since you live there and ride the Q-train.”
C’mon tybur. Everyone knows it’s 15 minutes to Union Square from the 7th Avenue station on the Q and B, but another 55 minutes to go the extra four stops out to Beverley Road.
Rob — that makes sense.
Umm… BoerumHill, it basically is 30-40 mins. Do you ride the Q-train? From Boerum Hill or do you live next to the Q-train at Newkirk or Cortelyou? Where do you think this neighborhood is? It’s 1 mile south of Prospect Park, not Canarsie.
i agree too. the problem is that when youre in a suburban ghetto, oftentimes there’s no where to run and no one around to help you! (im not calling this area ghetto btw) just stating that low density areas that are high crime are much more dangerous than high density areas with high crime which is why im usually pretty chary of low density inner cities. i’d rather get lost in the bronx than even the nicest parts of say baltimore, detroit, irvington nj, etc.

The open cut is the big downer here. It really is LOUD there, and the house has like, zero, back yard. But it is a cute house.
I like my city to be city-ish and my burbs to be country-ish.
