I know how many on this blog talk as though Brooklyn Brownstones are so different/unique in the way prices have escalated.
Well here is a south Bronx open house and to me seems just seems quite comparable (if not higher) if you account for size, condition and ‘less than upscale’ neighborhood.

i like the butcher block counter tops at st. james, but that’s about it.
Sorry, meant to say extention on the first *three* floors.
We saw the Clifton place last weekend. It’s a weird property. There’s an extension on the first two floors (including the kitchen in the photo), but there are no windows on the rear portion. There are windows on the east side, but that’s the side that will get blocked once a building goes up in the neighboring lot. There’s no access to the back yard through the building — you have to walk around the building through the vacant lot, which is problematic and bizarre. There is a nice deck for the top floor unit, but you have to climb through a window to get onto it. It does have some good potential but needs work.
Clifton Place is a nice block, awesome area. I kind of like the stainless steel kitchen. The other kitchen is depressing as hell, and I hate all those bars on the windows but I guess that’s standard.
St. James is horrid.
South slope is a boring location.
Bed stuy — MORE PICS PLEASE!
Clifton Pl. isn’t very nice. Next door is a vacant lot owned by a developer in the Slope.
I’d be interested in seeing where all of these sell. They seem to be priced right from what I can see. The Gates Avenue one is very skinny (16 foot) and there are no real pictures, except for the nice woodwork, so that is a mystery. Clifton is wide enough but shallow (35 feet); the rental kitchen looks a little groady — too bad there aren’t more pictures.
Clifton is a piece of crap. What is going up next door? I think $ 1.2 mil. has it.. Cheap reno..
