Park Slope isn’t dull. It’s “recent” inhabitants are generic. But that’s to be expected. They were generic when they lived in the UWS too. 6-7 years ago, it was still one of my favorite places.Now – not so much. Then – there were still so many truly wonderful, inspiring and fascinating residents. Many are still around, but as someone has already mentioned, it’s become overcrowded after the migration…so they appear few and far between.
At this point, Westchester’s ilk is comprised of far more unfeigned and authentic individuals.
Everybody knows that Cobble Hill is the new Brooklyn Heights and Brooklyn Heights is now just the outskirts of MetroTech.
I think the answer is definitive.
Park Slope is the new Park Slope.
Brownstoner posted houses in bed stuy, crown heights, and PLG.
But all the comments are on a house he did not post…in Park Slope.
By the way, I don’t live in Park Slope or even like Park Slope.
The other way to think about the 14th street house is:
14th street house between 5th and 6th in dull park slope. Probably went for 1.2 or so…
Sterling Place house between Franklin and Bedford for 919K- probably will go near ask. They are both similar house probably in terms of size and style. Sterling doesn’t look like it needs that much work. So the difference between similar houses in Crown Heights vs. South Slope is only 300 or so Thousand? Which side is that bubble on?
The thing about the 14th street house is that you could really just paint it, and fix up one of the bathrooms, and BAM, you have a two family with an instant rental that would have net around 1500/month. All of a sudden you have a house with income math situation in Park Slope where it actually makes sense for someone who wants to put around 1/3 down and doen’t have 6,000/month to spend on a mortage. It was an attractive deal- as it offered more of an ‘old park slope’ way of living (i.e., you could move into somethign that you would fix up slowly, and you’d enjoy the creakiness and charm of your run down, but nice house.)
Once the bids were considerably above ask, that whole fairy tale disapears.
14th st basic condition 3 floors for 995k went for “considerably over ask”, today.
I don’t think it was overpriced. You’d have to put 200-300k into it to make it quality, and wait a year. But 2400 sq ft of quality on 14th is not really worth much more than 1.5m. Market still bubblicious.
Seems like there are a lot of very sensitive Park Slopers on here today…….
park slope is one of the most AMAZING neighborhoods EVER. used to be even better with the puerto ricans though.
all broklynites are jealous of it.
i grew up in clinton hill and everybody just new that park slope and brooklyn heights were BEAUTIFUL. cg too.
sorry to disagree with you, 3:47 but saying anything is the new anything is snarky.
and calling an entire HUGE neighborhood staid is not snarky, but is pretty ignorant.
perhaps you are referring to a few blocks of lovely north park slope, but you haven’t been to the southern or western part of park slope if you think it’s all the same old, same old.
it’s quite economically and ethnically diverse.
i live in the north slope, and in my buildling alone, there is one black guy, a hispanic woman, a crunchy husband and wife with an adopted daughter, a woman who’s lived in the buildling for 40 something years, a gay guy and a lesbian.
god, so freakin staid.
wish i had some thugs in here.
oh and just another question for you…why is it that you want to give your opinion, but then when someone else gives theirs, you complain and say you want to live in a place where you can give yours? so what you actually mean is that it’s your way or the highway! glad you moved!
