All of you folks that are sleeping on the outer areas of Clinton Hill are truly sleeping. The next neighborhood is Bed-stuy for sure. Clifton Pl is a winner and that neighborhood is not going to be the same in five years. Look at Ft Greene. When I went to brooklyn tech back in the day, you never found yourself in that park. You went west from school. You went to subway and got the hell out of there. Now look at the number 2.4m and climbing if you have any view of that park
Grow up, your stuck
16th Street block is not “bad” but there is a LOT of construction right now — I wouldn’t want to move there till most of that is over. It’s also a very ugly block with a crazy mishmash of big ugly new buildings and little frame houses with hideous siding.
The Clifton Place house is right across the street from a bodega that is leaving soon (spring). That building is being restored and will present a completely different vibe across the street. Choice market is a block away and the whole immediate area is turning around in ways that no one would have believed possible a short time ago. That said, the vacant lot next door is a big question mark.
Anon at 9:52 pm – I am curious, where do you live?
That’s 16th bet 5 & 6th, which isn’t a bad block.. so it has a few apt buildings, that’s not that big of a deal. 7th ave in the south slope over there is pretty nice these days.
10:05 — 16th Street is a pretty unpleasant place to be for small houses right now. Most of the block is being redeveloped into multi-family housing — some of which looks a lot better than some of the other shlock going up in the borough. The neigghborhood is great in terms of amenities, but, personally, it it’s a house I’m after, I would look on other blocks.
16th st prop appears interesting…has anyone seen the inside? if the block is truly under construction, would that mean when complete this house’s value will elevate? there aren’t many deals to be had in the slope, so I’d be happy to rough it out should I be getting a bargain.
I love the text for the agent pumping up the Clifton house. Come to this great area NOT… The only people who go there are folks who can’t afford anything in the South Slope and Fort Greene. This is the area that first gets pounded when the market tanks.. The new broker took it for the same price that Corcoran could not sell it for. It is a dump. I agree it is way overpriced
BTW, Corcoran had the Clifton Place listing until very recently…it hung out on their website with some strange patched-together photos for many months. Can’t remember what the asking was from Corcoran. If I remember correctly, the seller originally purchased bought both the house and the lot (the owner before the current seller owned both), and then sold the lot to the developer, which is part of what is making the house itself such a hard sell now. The house/lot package would be a lot more attractive.
