We got an email a few days ago from a regular tipster who’s always been right in the past so we’re tempted to give him the benefit of the doubt this time around. While pointing us in the direction of a recent sale on Joralemon Street, he noted that the buyer happened to be a Goldman Sachs executive. This was, he claimed, part of a trend that’s seen members of the city’s most successful investment bank crossing the East River (more than usual) in recent months to buy a piece of the rock in Brooklyn Heights. Another broker we quizzed, who has several Goldman clients looking in the neighborhood at the moment concurred, said he knew of two Goldman deals that have taken place in recent weeks. The only bank where bonuses are expected to rise significantly this season, Goldman bankers and traders are certainly in the best position to snap up those $5 million-plus houses. Think there’s anything to this “trend” or has it just always been so?

  1. “I find Park Slope to be equally as boring, if not more so. And at least i don’t have to listen to BHSers talk about how their mediocre restaurants are top notch.”

    1. Neighborhoods are not boring. Just the people who live in them.

    2. BH residents don’t talk about their “mediocre restaurants” because they have none. The few that they have are all below average.

  2. The only thing ParkSlopers have to say to defend themselves about how BHS is better is that BHS is “boring”

    I find Park Slope to be equally as boring, if not more so. And at least i don’t have to listen to BHSers talk about how their mediocre restaurants are top notch.

    Face it PS, you will never hold a candle to BHS.

    And enough out of the FG/CH peanut gallery. It’s at least two notches below PS.

  3. If you’ll notice, 2:04…take a look at the latest thread on the house for sale on Sterling…

    Someone mentioned they’d rather have a 3 bedroom in Park Slope over that house to “get it out of the way.” It was certainly not someone from Park Slope saying it, I don’t believe, and many times people just want to start something for the heck of it.

    You need to go with the flow. No one has mentioned Park Slope for the past 20 comments. So why are you still talking about it?

    You just want to add fuel to the fire.
