The Sterling house is nice….. sweet renovation, but it’s gotta be at least 200k over priced. the friggin’ mansions in CH are barely getting $900k yet.
I love CH and have no plans to move….. but if they can get that kinda cash for that house, my ass is cashing out.
“…didn’t feel safe ” How would one define feeling safe? Lord knows a fist fight could break out in Brooklyn heights, Park Slope, Mayberry, or Madison Square Garden…. But it wouldn’t dictate whether or not I felt safe. If someone was camped out in front of my house every night “casing the joint”… that may make me feel unsafe.
I just wish that houses could get posted, people would actually go to the open houses, and come back with comments and postings about the quality of those homes and the feasibility of those homes getting their respective asking prices.
everyone has different tastes, tolerances, and preferences. So it’s not so important to voice your perception on whether or not a neighborhood is ready to be habitated.
Just an FYI, people are already there!
Now, about that Macon house. I think the price has something to do with the footprint. It’s a bit narrow and a bit short… on a shorter lot.18X42 on 18X80. maybe that’s it.
There’s a lot of “hype” about Clinton Hill on this blog because the owner of this site lives there. It’s certainly not the only place in Brooklyn where things are happening.
I don’t think Clinton Hill is so “unsafe” per se, unless you are living the “Bed-Stuy” portion of it, which is certainly edgy. But that’s changing too. I’ve found that people living over there like to downplay the fact their neighborhood is more like Bed Stuy than Clinton Hill proper.
My biggest complaint about Clinton Hill is that the nice parts of it are only accessible by the G Train – which doesn’t go to Manhattan.
We thought about living in Clinton Hill, mostly because after reading this blog it seemed like such a cool place to live, but after walking around the neighborhood for a few weekends we found that we just didn’t feel safe. We saw two fist fights in one afternoon. And then there was the lack of amenities and the schools were terrible. In the end we found that Clinton Hill just didn’t live up to the hype. Perhaps some day though…
Can someone please explain to me why there is so much good housing stock east of Flatbush Avenue? Why are so many of these homes stacked with so much more details then homes west of Flatbush Avenue. I was under the impression that all of the rich and wealthy back in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s settled in areas like Park Slope, Cobble Hill and Brooklyn Heights. Am I mistaken? For example, why would the Pfizer family build homes in Clinton Hill? I don’t get it.
I used to live in Clinton Hill, but I got mugged too many times and got tired of seeing all the drug addicts everywhere. When we had kids we left Clinton Hill. Nice architecture though.
Park Slope is a great neighborhood I have lived here for the past six years and really fell in love with the place. The architecture and the brownstones are just amazing. I lived in Ft. Greene when I first moved to New York which is starting to have the same feels like Williamsburg and Park Slope had a baby. PS is very diverse my friends all joke at the Park Slope babies which are brown/tan skin children with sandy blonde hair. I always wanted a brownstone in that area but I don’t have a extra 4 million dollars laying around. The good news is that I found my President Street style brownstone in Stuyvesant Heights.
5:01 PMs comment is baseless and impression-based. Anyone can write something like that.
Provide some definitions of ‘unfeigned and authentic’ then provide hard facts to back up your opinion. Provide some migration patterns that prove they all came from the UWS. I’ve not met anyone who came from there.
Provide some linkage between the UWS and people being generic. That flies in the face of the UWS stereotype anyway.
Talk about the open houses. Leave Park Slope alone. It’s the reason that these other neighborhoods have started receiving interest from people like you.
Considering all the misspellings on this thread, our schools must REALLY blow! Yikes!!!
