8:11 PM, then why pay a premium to live in Park Slope?
Getting into a a good high school has very little to do with what district you live in. Please check your facts before making those kind of statements.
I have frequently commented on this board that public MS and HS choices in Victorian Flatbush (district 22)are a big selling point (or at least should be) for families with older children.
Went to see the BedSty house. Lots of clutter, and needs work IMHO.
Downstairs is a small living room, and an ok kitchen that needs new cabinets, and a reno.
Upstairs in this duplex are 2 bedrooms that have mattresses on the floor.
The rental upstairs is basically 2 bedrooms with no living room.
The floors are originals but they made such noises.
House doesn’t look like it was very maintained.
Curious if anyone else saw it differently.
Re WT: with the heating guessimate at $4k. I wouldn’t attack the central AC first if I bought it. You might want to look at the attic, windows and doors.
I just wanted to add a comment about schools, to respond to the comments from March 24, 6:35 PM.
321 is a good school because of parental involvement, but is by no means the best in District 15, or anywhere in Brooklyn. We used to live in D.15, now we live in Midwood, which is D.22 I think?
When we lived in D.15 we got a lottery slot into the Children’s School in its early days. It is a school whose success is entirely dependent on an active parent body, and is now incredibly hard to get into. Anyway, my 12 yr old stayed in the District 15 system for middle school and now goes to MS 51, which is fantastic. So I must dispute the assertion that there are no good options for middle school.
That said, 6:35 is correct that Midwood offers some better and easier solutions to the Middle School dilemma! Once high school rolls around, Midwood again offers great options–Midwood and Murrow are both close and top notch. Nothing compared to John Jay!
I’m constantly surprised at the amazing deals to be had in Ditmas Park/Midwood housing. To think you can get a 5 bedroom house with rental income for the price of a condo in Park Slope, and be on an express train that’s waaay faster than the F, and have great schools and a tight-knit community. I guess we’re among those people who are destined to be called smug in 10 years time when prices here go up like they did in the Slope.
And BTW, the term “brownstone” in it’s broadest sense, as used in NYC can be used for any historic rowhouse, from late 18th Century wood to early 20th Century brick colonial revival. IIRC that’s what Charles Lockwood wrote in his classic “Bricks and Brownstones.”
The Old Brooklyn Brownstone Conference took this one step further by including representatives from neighborhoods in Victorian Flatbush (and Ridgewood, QUEENS).
I’d add Sunset Park and Greenpoint to bklyndoug’s list. [See, I don’t ALWAYS post about PLG :-)]
BTW, TypeKey is out again 🙁
Oh yeah, also re: the Bed Stuy house…
Is that a recent picture of the garden? It looks like the same one Massey & Knackal used when it was on the market last summer.
I’m curious what the garden looks like now. Has the current owner maintained it as well as the previous owners?
