Sheepshead Bay: Fifth Most Luxurious Neighborhood
Our friends at Property Shark have done some sales numbers crunching for the year-to-date, to see where in Brooklyn the million dollar sales were happening. Behold the chart.

Our friends at Property Shark have done some sales numbers crunching for the year-to-date, to see where in Brooklyn the million dollar sales were happening. Behold the chart. Brooklyn Heights left the other neighborhoods in the dust, with 88 sales above a million bucks. Park Slope, not surprisingly, was next, followed by Dumbo and its pals Vinegar Hill and downtown Brooklyn. A bit of a surprise is number five, Sheepshead Bay and Gerritsen Beach out-luxurying Carroll Gardens by four sales.
Completely with you, Mattt and NorthHeights. Zips cross over neighborhoods and vice-versa. A ranking by neighborhood would have made much more sense.
Besides, I would add that the $1mil threshold seems rather low if the point is to try to define “luxury”. $1 mil these days in real estate doesn’t get you much and if their point was really to address “luxury” sales, I would probably have set a higher threshold than $1mil.
BRG…”close” only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
Shout out to South Brooklyn, representting!!!
Bay Ridge zip code at 11209 is only 8 numbers away from Brooklyn Heights.
BRG, I already said I’m going back to school to polish up my English!
brownie77, dammit, it’s hard to argue with you when you seem so genuinely nice. Your points are understood and well taken and no harm done at all. Have a great weekend. 🙂
they didnt include brighton beach with sheepshead bay and manhattan beach thats all 1 zip code gerritsen beach isnt 11235
I think the “writing a letter” is a good suggestion indeed. Collecting datas and posting them on a website is very different than analyzing these datas. PropShark is very useful when it comes to collect datas but all they did here was to present datas according to a ranking which I thought didn’t make any sense in terms of what you get from it. Hopefully that closes the argument. No harm, Biff Champion. Nice arguing with you 😉
‘Brooklyn Heights still comes out no top by any measure’
Biff…re-write, please.
SB does so well due to THL’s lovely links to their fine stock of mansions. Maybe Corcoran should hire THL to replace a recent opening at their firm?
and to why 11235 (Sheepshead, et al) has larger # of lux sales (defined as single fam house, coop, condo) is that not all that many large lux condos in 11231 and the houses that sell (which almost all are above $1m) are usually classified as 2 or more family.
But the lux houses (above $1m) in the 11235 waterfront area are single family.
