You are so wrong about the Carroll Street property in the 60’s the black professional class moved into that neck of the woods. In the 1970’s the held the line against the purposeful neglect in surrounding neighborhoods. Now the black professionals children and the Hasidim are raising their children there. Just because you don’t know a “hood, doesn’t mean it’s “sketchy.”

What is wrong with everybody ? Are you all single and childless ? Its is very hard to raise a child in this City. However my family is committed to living in NYC, rather than say N. Jersey and we are thankful that we will be able to raise our child (who has a stroller – she is only 13 months) in Brooklyn….I also dont understand all this backlash against P.S. It is a beautiful area and frankly if we could afford it we would have moved there (huge homes, good supermarkets nearby, lots of cafes and restaurants etc etc ). However we found a beautiful home in Crown Heights (not far from the Sterling St house featured) and are looking forward to getting involved in neighborhood activities.
More to the point of this thread – Im interesting in hearing about what people think of the houses featured. I look forward to going to an OH at the Sterling St property. It looks gorgeous, even though the ground floor isnt a full walk in. I think that may reduce the price significant. Any why give the listing to Corcoran ? Everyone knows Corcoran properties are overpriced – esp in this part of Brooklyn..
Damn those Park Slope stroller moms!
People, can’t we all just get along?
We’re here to learn from each other and have a forum to share information and opinion that may be helpful in making a life in Brooklyn or elsewhere.
I have no stakes in this, while you just lost a potential customer. I think that fact alone is worthy of some self reflection? there are some very pointed comments on this board whose targets are much more specific than a neighborhood. If you think the people on this board are not trashing people you are once again, sadly mistaken. Who would want to live in a neighborhood where people disparage one another and their neighborhoods like this.
11:33 “trash other people as you just have” That’s yourself?
i’d rather have people around as fellow brooklynites who trash neighborhoods, than trash other people as you just have, 11:01.
you are the embarassment, sadly.
This forum is just so embarassing. I am truely embarassed for all of you. And if you think readers of these boards who are looking for a house to buy, whether they are investors in far away countries or New Yorkers, aren’t aware of the gross and obvious attempts at hyping their own neighborhoods while trashing others, you are sadly mistaken. It has completely changed my mind about buying in Brookyln.
