Ft Greene house – is very large, and has lots o’details. I have seen many other houses in Ft Greene, Prospect Hgts, Clinton Hill. This one is in good shape.
The interior needs to be painted with prettier colours and it would sell for more.
John,
I found the NYT Parkside listing online–thank you. Strangely, you have to click on “Real Estate’ from the Times Select home page. You can’t get it by clicking on the RE Section from “Today’s Paper.” As I said before, the Times website isn’t very user friendly, but there IS a lot there.
regarding the FG house – somebody mentioned about the church across the house being turned into a halfway house??? any info…
Bob,
Go to the Real Estate Section, scroll down to the heading “INSIDE REAL ESTATE” and click on the left hand “On the Market” slideshow picture.

Bob, the Parkside house in the NYT is on the web–hit On The Market. PErsonally, I’d say this was a very bad press day for PLG. The woman’s description of people hanging out on the corners is a mjor turn-off. And, put together, the 2 articles give the definite picture of PLG as a very cheap fringe neighborhood.
“Maybe if we all were required to post our names and not hide behind “anonymous” the posts would not get so out of hand”
Probably true, but also, probably, not practicable–would that it were otherwise.
To get back to actual houses, I had described the Parkside ave house as being “rather plain, compared to the VERY grand houses further east on that block.” That is literally true (in the same way that my own house is rather plain, compared to the larger ones, by the same builder, on Midwood I), but I must say that the house doesn’t look plain in the NY Times “On the Market” listing on p.3 of today’s RE section (which, unfortunately isn’t on the web). Two PLG articles in this weeks RE section–the other on P. 1! (I listed a link on Friday).
BTW, there’s also a great “Living In” article on WT (p. 7). I looks like the newspaper of record is recognising the “other” nabes bordering Prospect Park” in a big way.
I dated someone with a house on Albemarle Terrace for a while. The nabe is safe enough, though many visitors disagreed–it’s 90%+ black, which somehow turns (non-black) people off. But there are no middle-class amenities whatsoever; we couldn’t even get decent food delivered. And the homeowners assn people are psycho. I guess if you really want a house and can’t get one anyplace else, they are very pretty, but unless you stay inside all the time or just walk to the subway and back, you might not have so much fun there.
Where is Park Slope/Prospect Heights can I get a great steak that isn’t $30 for just the steak?
