DIBS – What’s happening at Duplex?
Agreed CGFan. It’s the building not the location that is the differentiating factor. I would classify both blocks as prime but for very different reasons and catering to two very different crowds.
Snark, you coming to Duplex tonite???
bkhabitant, you are absolutely right that the Sackett St. Condos are a bit closer to the subways and to Smith Street, too. I just thought it sounded funny to think of that block of 1st Place between Henry and Clinton getting a discount for location. It’s one of my favorite blocks, too, and it’s only a slightly longer walk to everything, not a long hike. And it’s a beautiful block of front garden brownstones, not a block with lots of driveways with cars parked in former front gardens of the buildings. I like that block of Sackett Street, too, but I’m pretty sure it’s not the location that makes the property worth more, but the condition and large condo layout.
Stocks Soar, but Many Analysts Ask Why

CGFan, the house is in between Henry and Clinton, so a little bit further away from subways than the Sackett Condos (smith and Court), but you’re getting better neighborhood as you say. I live in this area though unfortunately not on this 1st Place block, my favorite in all of CG. The houses here are lovely.
Petebklyn, I don’t think anyone who knows Carroll Gardens would agree that the 1st Place house went cheap because “it’s not as central a location” as the Sackett Street condos. I don’t think any block of First Place gets a discount for the location (and I can’t say the same about Sackett Street, although I’m not sure which block those condos are).
It’s probably more a reflection of the condos not needing any work (and a preference for condo living) over a brownstone that’s going to cost quite a bit to renovate.
but of course have to watch out i) the inevitable repetition of history repeating itself itself, ii) the lifting of govt life support (tax credit and mbs purchase program), iii) the bogeyman and iv) your own shadow.
