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.

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

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.
hahaha these people are idiots. Crime is skyrocketing in Brooklyn and the country is going to absolute hell economically.
20% price drop in 2 years? Talk about a sour investment.
Um, I was actually trying to defend those areas, 1pm. Please read my post more carefully. No wonder people get annoyed with the boosters of fringe areas.
It was about 10 years ago that the business news started actively noting and reporting on the migration from suburbs back into cities here and all over the country in large cities. THAT’s what I was talking about.
As for interest in Park Slope never dropping, if all of Brooklyn started a general decline the very wealthy who are moving from Manhattan to Park Slope would start choosing Connecticut once more like they did before. Seeing improvements in all of Brooklyn is VERY much in the interest of Park Slope. After all, the people buying in Park Slope will want to hang out in the park. The park borders Prospect Heights, Crown Heights and PLG. People in Park Slope have to walk through Fort Greene to attend BAM. They go to the Atlantic Center to shop. Improvements in the areas all around Park Slope has contributed a huge amount towards Park Slope’s rising popularity.
Try telling a wealthy person coming from Manhattan who can buy wherever they want, inside or outside NYC, how great it is to live near Prospect Park if the park was totally shady and dangerous like it used to be.
Let’s have a little logic around here.
Actually, 1:12 it was determined on Friday that it is not the largest collection of brownstones, just the most intact.
Bed Stuy apparently has more brownstones, but the neighborhood isn’t as intact with many homes that were bruned, gutted, abandoned, etc.
There are brownstones in Bed Stuy side by side with ugly Fedders monstrosities.
Not the case in the historic district of Park Slope.
huh. would manhattan beach qualify as a ‘fringe neighborhood’?
I don’t care if all of Wall Street implodes – Prices in Park Slope will NEVER go down. Didn’t you hear? It was named one of the top 10 most livable neighborhoods – AND has the largest collection of intact 19th century architecture in the COUNTRY!
“the trendy restauarants might come back to 7th avenue.”
Already happening….
1.Moim that Korean place is amazing.
2.Chiles and Chocolate is above par.
3.Scalino is delicious.
4.Oshima just finished a super classy renovation.
“The trend to improve Brooklyn including fringe areas did not start 3 years ago. It started well over a decade ago”
I’M the ignorant one???? You might want to talk to someone in Crown Heights, Bed Stuy, Prospect Heights or Clinton Hill, dude.
These areas were discovered long before a decade ago.
Try 20 years at least.
Just because YOU discovered it 10 years ago does not make it fact.
Left out a word at 12:53: it should be “that’s NOT fulfilled by the more important things in life”.
Weel, if the fringe areas get worse, the trendy restauarants might come back to 7th avenue.
