There are two houses for sale on Midwood Street between Rogers and Nostrand that might be of interest to readers. The house on the left is at 230 Midwood Street and is available through Century 21, AAA Top Stars at 718 498-2400; the house on the right is 253 Midwood Street and is available through Jamal at Apple Real Estate at 718 735 2300. Can anyone tell us what the interiors are like at either of these places? How about recent comps?

That does not seem to be working, despite increased troll activity. As someone who is looking to buy there, I have seen the prices go up a great deal in the last 5-6 months (to my chagrin).
The anti-PLG trolls are a small group of activist-minded users who desire to stall gentrification and keep the neighborhood black. By scaring white people from moving into the neighborhood, the prices won’t go up so quickly, and poorer blacks won’t be priced out of the neighborhood.
Sheesh, with all the hater-trolls around it’s so impossible to actually find out what any neighborhood is really like! Is there another website where people can go? Seriously. The trolls on this site are really getting bad. I’d like to get an accurate assessment of PLG, but it’s impossible. I have talked to three different educated, professional whites who have lived there anywhere from 5 to 18 years and they absolutely love it. But then I come here and all anybody says is it’s a crime-ridden hell hole. Well which is it? It can’t be both. The praise can’t in any way be chalked up simply to people in denial. Nobody would put up with THAT much crime, if that were an accurate picture being presented by the trolls. Not for 18 years, get real. So why make PLG sound so awful? What’s the point? Are you trolls actually concerned for people who might buy there? It sure doesn’t sound like it. So I don’t understand the motives.
230 Midwood (the one on the left) is listed at a whopping $799K by Century 21. We only saw the downstairs, but what we did see was kinda run down though not terribly muddled. While it did have some old wood detailing, some of the trim, frames and molding had been chopped up to make room for new cheesy door hardware, etc. The windows & doors were in bad shape. The pocket doors were mostly intact but the frames were a bit mangled. Kitchen & bath BAD BAD BAD and bubble-gum pink.
The one on the right we did not see, because it was listed at (gasp!) $850.
1:26PM was the troll, and by his own criterion I might add!
Anyone who posts comments about “trolls” is a troll.
Newsflash: the person who keeps commenting anonymously about this neighborhood being dangerous is actually an extremely well-educated, black attorney/activist who wants to stall inevitable gentification by scaring away decent people.
I was surprised that the prices were that high, actually. This is a dangerous neighborhood and you’d really have to understand what you’re embarking upon. On the other hand, it is New York City and nothing’s cheap!
Thank you Aunt Helen!
