***We left out two transactions recorded in public records last week at 2 Montague Terrace because we’ve been told that they involved one party trading up for a larger co-op and the other trading down for a smaller co-op and, thus, that the trades don’t represent real sales. In any event, one unit in the building (11 AB) traded for $3.5 million and another (5B) for $2 million. The same last names were involved in the transactions.

The rutland road place did well to get $1.05M, which was a big haircut from the $1.4 they started at . . .
It’s significantly smaller/less grand than other LM houses that sold for that range this spring.
At least they didn’t lose too much money from what they paid for it a couple of years ago.
If L train haters haven’t done the morning/afternoon commute since they switched over to the computerized signaling system – I can assure you that things are much improved. I get on in the morning at Lorimer and maybe once per week a train is too crowded, but one comes by 1 minute later and is totally empty.
Come on, as far as Brooklyn trains go, the L is decent – the 4/5 trains are pretty much packed after Franklin Ave – the 2/3 are super slow local. The F is jam packed as well.
And it’s been a long time since the L train hasn’t run from bedford to manhattan. a few months ago it was running as a shuttle to union square every 15 minutes and now after lorimer shuttle buses go out east (only for one more weekend)
yea, if you can get on it.
i’d say the L is a decent train but it is also mad overcrowded both during the day and at night. something that will only continue to get worse. recently, i was also really turned off by the thought of depending on the L when I found myself in wburg in the middle of the day in the rain and the L wasn’t running from bedford to manhattan. unlike almost any bk neighborhood that is geographically close to mnhtn – you’re basically completely screwed if this one train line goes down. (and that is also the true (partial) story of why I didn’t put an offer in at fast-selling 72 berry.)
ditto, really? i think the L is a descent enough train. i mean at least it gets you straight across manhattan and fast..unless you work in brooklyn…
i agree, kims sucks. but i guess in general i probably wouldn’t want to buy in willy b. i lived on maujer street for a few years and it was okay over there, until the street became more gentrified (and consequently crime went up). but ultimately, for me, it’s just not scenic enough and the, ahem, hipsters can just be way too much. though i hear your point, that stretch of broadway has become a lot more livable/fun in the past few years. i think if i moved back i would want to live more on the greenpoint border, close to mccarren.
If its a choice between the JMZ or the L, I’ll just shoot myself.
I dunno Bodhi – relying on the JMZ might be a deal breaker for many – but I would say that Broadway and south williamsburg is better served by banks and grocery stores than the northside (unless you don’t mind spending 50 bucks on milk, bread and eggs at Khims)
though that stretch of broadway has a bunch of great restaurants (in my opinion thanks to diner, not peter luger’s) i still don’t think it’s a great place to live in willy b. i’d rather be closer to the L train than this far away and not really near practical stores.
