So what, there’s a big coop apt house next door to the Ocean Ave house. Big deal. If the implication isn’t that it’s going to fall over on this house what’s scaring people off? Could it be the underlying implication is that there are (horrors!)a lot of poor minority people next door? I would think that the fact that it’s a coop would at least suggest that those poor minority people own their own apts, and also have a stake in living in a decent neighborhood. Get a grip.
Love the Boerum Hill house but way out of my price range. Wish I had bought a place there back during my initial forays into Brooklyn in 1998. The Bed Stuy house looks good for the price, anyone know anything about that place? Has the area improved in the past few years? Is BS the last of the affordable brownstones?
The 23rd St. house looks really nice. It would be at least 100K if on the other side of Ocean Ave. So it seems like a pretty good deal to me.
All you have to do is look it up in Property Shark. Right next door to the Ocean Avenue house is an 85 unit cooperative. You don’t have to take my word for it. You can see it in the picture. Do you think that ivy is just growing up an enormous, invisible trellis? Of course not. It’s growing up the side of a very large building. And if you don’t believe your own eyes, look it up in Property Shark.
Good grief.
getting into 321 a long time ago was a horse of a different color
I’d be willing to consider the Ocean Ave house, assumimg, as an earlier poster noted, that there is not in fact a large apartment building right next door.
My hunch about this chunk of Ocean Ave. right opposite Prospect Park (which I have passed frequently for a long time on foot, car, bike) is that it’s challenged but getting somewhat better. The “scary out front” factor of the apt. houses is going down and some bldgs seem to be getting upgraded. This bldg is near a row of lovely little limestone townhouses that I’ve lusted after for years–didn’t know they were once a ‘doctors’ row.’ It’s an investment I’d bet on, esp with that huge lot.
That house on Ocean used to be known as the olympian’s house. The Smart family lived there and both their kids were on the us olympic fencing team (he was #1 in the world for while). Both Smart kids went to ps 321.
i LOVE the ocean ave house.
been by it many times while biking.
this area is what brooklyn is all about for me.
