Last Week's Biggest Sales
We’d be surprised if the Slope manse on Montgomery doesn’t end up being one of the top-5 sales in the neighborhood this year. How ’bout that markup on the Carroll Gardens house? 1.

1. PARK SLOPE $3,300,000
52 Montgomery Place GMAP (left)
5,238-square-foot nine-bedroom first hit the market last April (HOTD, listed at $3,675,000); price subsequently chopped to $3,300,000, and there she went. Deed recorded 3/4.
2. PARK SLOPE $2,195,000
40 St. Marks Avenue GMAP (right)
The sellers here hit the sweet spot, asking-wise. The brownstone between 5th and 6th aves. was purchased by them for $900,000 in 2003. Deed recorded 3/5.
3. MANHATTAN BEACH $1,850,000
282 Beaumont Street GMAP
2,896-sf, 2-family house built circa 1925. Listing MIA. Deed recorded 3/5.
4. PARK SLOPE $1,752,000
393 5th Street GMAP
Another one between 5th and 6th aves, this time in Center Slope. Was it listed? 3,012-sf 3-fam house. Deed recorded 3/4.
5. CARROLL GARDENS $1,670,000
29 2nd Street GMAP
Interesting: This one appears to have gone for a pretty penny over ask. StreetEasy shows the 3-fam townhouse listed in October for $1.5 mil. Deed recorded 3/3.
I live in PS and I said PS deserves the title. Bed stuy is not an Eden TODAY just like PS was not an Eden in 1974.
I have walked through some blocks in Bed Stuy and some of details that I saw on the fascades of many homes, were things that I’ve never seen before in PS.
It’s just a matter of time.
How did he pretend it wasn’t the case. 5:18??
Selecting those top 10 neighborhoods is a subjective process. Every person would have their own idea of what is the best. This American Planning Association designation was but one example.
Him saying it is the finest and most intact is correct for him. An expert, no less. Are you an architectural historian at Columbia?
While the fine part is subjective, the intact part is not.
Bed Stuy has beauties, but they are often sitting next to a fedders building, a building in total disrepair or a burned out building.
That does not qualify it as intact.
I do not see any falsifications in Dolkarts’ statements.
5:16….You think the most overpriced area of Brooklyn is the place to buy right now???!!
oookkkkk
they ain’t building a new train other than the f to carroll gardens anytime soon. they are closing the main station, however.
Nobody is saying Bed Stuy is Eden, they’re just saying just because it’s not an upscale community doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. And yet Dolkart pretended that was the case. His reporting was offensive and should be even to those who live in Park Slope. If they know what it means to recognize all people in the world not just rich people, that is.
Carroll Gardens is really the spot to buy right now. If i had a little cash i would buy In carroll Gardens / cobble hill i see that as your best investment in this market and this is a very stable market.
I don’t believe it was a mission, 5:06. Dolkart wrote that statement about Park Slope as it was being honored for a top 10 neighborhood profile. He also seems to have better credentials than most of us here writing when it comes to architecture and history.
As beautiful as Bed Stuy homes may be, it is far from a top 10 neighborhood in the country award.
I think you are reading too much into this guy’s comments and pretending like Bed Stuy is eden all at the same time.
I think I am going to move BS. For some strange reason I kinda like the feel of the area. I really hope that i can find something in the historic part.. My apt in N. PS really really nice but my rent has gone up way too much.
true again 5:01 the person who wrote that is on the same mission as Dolkart.
I have strolled though every neighborhood in Brooklyn at this point.
Yes, I do find Park Slope the most beautiful. It is an opinion, of course. Not one that everyone shares.
In my opinion though, the grand homes that line the side streets (from lincoln to 3rd) between 7th and 8th and 8th to the Park as the hill ascends towards Prospect Park are unmatched in scale and grandeur in my opinion.
