I’m glad we don’t all get caught up in “neighborhood superiority syndrome” anymore.
11217 -Is your other favorite neighborhood also in the running for worst air quality in NYC due to car pollution?
“The constant overhead rattle of the trains on the bridge is enough to strike DUMBO from my own list of desirable neighborhoods.”
Sometimes I think I’d rather hear the trains than the sound of a supersized stroller’s wheels getting caught in a pair of crocs…
😉
I love Dumbo. You all know how much I love Park Slope, but I confess that if I had a couple million, I’d definitely consider a move there. It’s tied for my favorite neighborhood in NYC….
The constant overhead rattle of the trains on the bridge is enough to strike DUMBO from my own list of desirable neighborhoods.
As a totally biased person who is moving to DUMBO in a week…..
I respectfully disagree. I think it is a great area with a really unique vibe. In my opinion what is there (restaurants, shops, etc.) is great and unlike some of the more established areas in BK, DUMBO is impacted more by a new store opening which allows for growth in the area. The views of Manhattan are great, the Subway access is reasonable (F,A&C and not too bad of a walk to get to Court Sq.)
Everything is in the eye of the beholder. I think brownstone Brooklyn is beautiful as well, but there are many people who think that the SOHO like aesthetic/vibe of DUMBO is very desirable.
There are a lot nicer, more convenient and beautiful places to live in Brooklyn for $7MM or less than that place in DUMBO. If they can walk to work that’s fine.
I really love DUMBO but in my experience, people buy there who don’t know Brooklyn at all and soon find out that it is unbelievably inconvenient and somewhat claustrophobic to live there – especially with children – and move on.
Holy huge prices, Batman.
Obviously these are pre-crisis sales, but still…sheesh.
Even that 13th street house for 1.95 million seems hefty.
