Is it me or is the Clinton Street place cheap? Not cheap-cheap obviously.
Clinton’s a crazy loud street to live on, but 2.6 for decent sized Heights house? Reality sets in . . .
…
70 foot lot, questionable reno (master suite takes up one floor, made it a 3 bdrm), and not the greatest block as all the taxis take that route back to Manhattan.
Still, 12 price cuts…wow. Talk about chasing the market down!
I still don’t get the appeal of spending that kind of money on One BBP. Even once the park is finished, it’s still going to be desolate living down there IMHO.

Widget is getting good.
I thought no one wanted to live in Brooklyn Heights any more?
