It really is amazing how many ‘experts’ there are on this site.
First of all, this block is Carroll Gardens.
Second of all, the rent was $2300/month. ($1500? 6 years ago)
Third of all, yeah it was a good price but it is a good house.
Where people get their information is a mystery to me.
I lived in this neighborhood for over 40 years. I love it, it’s a great place to raise your kids and you pay for that.
I am moving on and will miss this house.
Be positive and maybe this market will slowly recover, be negative and you will only help the downfall.
Brooklyn is like no other place in the world.

bklyn14 – I don’t know, inventory seems to be creeping back up, even with houses. We are noticing more houses coming on the market, and many, many houses that are not budging at current prices (even after a few price cuts, since the prices are still way too high).
RE: the school debate – it’s been discussed here many times, but 282 is generally a more traditional school, which from what I’ve heard/read from those who’ve gone there, means an emphasis on discipline and a more rigid definition of academics. A school like 321, while it takes academics very seriously, also spends a huge amount of effort on promoting social skills, fostering community, etc. Academically, I think 321 and indeed many of the District 15 schools (39, 107, 10, etc), put enormous resources into professional development and are always on the lookout for ways to improve their curriculum with the latest best practices.
i saw the gowanus/CG house about 2 months ago…i live about 4 blocks away and wanted to know what mkt looked like…it was listed at $1.45 then and i believe that price was reduced from a few months earlier…there’s an incredibly awkward addition already on house that results in a foot or so difference on the first floor…u enter thru basement…the place is small with a lot of dead hallway space…there was 1 tenant on top floor-she couldn’t be paying more than $1,500…..the addition looked awful….across the street is a stop and go condo project that the Corcoran rep conceded wasn’t too popular w/ some of the immediate locals…i too am shocked that this place traded at $1.45 but i’ve said it before in this price range(maybe $1.2 to $1.8) u could probably look at 50,000 co op/condos in Manhattan or maybe 15-25 houses between atlantic ave and huntington….between hicks and 4th ave…go on line, buy the sunday nyt, hit a few realtors up or better yet ride a bike around here….THERE’S NOT A LOT OF HOUSES ON MKT AROUND HERE
Lechecal, I was recently told an amusing story about someone who lied to get her daughter into the “good” cachement in Park Slope for middle school and then dismayed to discover the kids were all let out at lunchtime, where apparently, at least according to anecdote, most of them headed straight to the park to get stoned. That kind of goes in line with my own experience of liberal hippie-parented childhood, so I am inclined to believe it’s true.
I think a little yelling on the playground is preferable, but that’s just me. You know, I hate pot and stuff.
