Oh now, WT is a totally cute neighborhood. I went to WT for the first time recently, to see an apartment my friend just moved into. We ourselves chose to buy in a ‘hood that’s not to be mentioned (or else the trolls descend) because we wanted access to express trains to Manhattan, but WT is a lovely place. It’s very unique in its whole vibe. That’s something that should be celebrated about Brooklyn, how each neighborhood has its unique identity and vibe. Do we really want them all to be the same? Some people prefer less hustle and bustle and crowds on sidewalks. Improvements and amenities are always welcome, but it’s nice that there’s still something for everybody in this borough. Also one upside to being in an “outlying” neighborhood, we found neighbors are more likely to socialize with each other, and host parties in their homes more often for neighbors, when there are not 50 bars and restaurants right outside their door. We experienced this difference immediately upon arrival.
i like being in a place that is actually a neighborhood unto itself, not one where it’s 5 minutes from anything else. what you’ve described is a suburb, and i live in new york to escape that lifestyle.
it seems like a nice place for my nana, though.
you’re correct Anonymous 9:35 PM… who needs to have WT hyped… those of us who have lived here for years and years
know what a treasure it is…. 5 minutes away from everyplace and everything that’s fun, and more importantly really great neighbors!
Shhhhhh…. 🙂
all realtors should have websites like brooklyn properties.
its like porn
if WT is ‘outlying’ you haven’t a clue how large of city New York is.
Check out a map already. Sounds like your world is very small.

If you don’t want people to think your neighborhood is the greatest, then why are you going on about how it’s a hidden secret delight better than all the rest?
I live in WT and I am very happy that our neighborhood is not being hyped on this blog. It’s better that you all don’t know about it really. It’s not as large or as geared towards people buying and selling so frequently like other areas are. There aren’t starter apartments or many rentals. So if you buy a house you might consider it. You might not. That’s okay. Not too many come on the market anyway so they generally get snapped up quickly when they do. It’s has a low FAR and is already built up with housing stock that is good, so developers aren’t really able to bulldoze sections of it down and build very high there. So if you want to think of it as outlying, from my perspective, that’s good.
the mews houses are mean and doll-sized. Meant for “working class” Victorians, i think we can do better today for the money thank you very much.
In addition to WT being a nice place to live in of itself (safe, on the park, on a major train line & near its own shops), the very short distance from Park Slope is reflected in the price of homes being considerably cheaper than what you would find in Park Slope.
Im sure there are some people who consider WT “outlying” but I think the recent sales in the area wouldnt support that. Nice houses in this little stretch have fetched far more than I thought would be possible for WT in the past 2 months. Can’t say if this house is nice or not based on the listings photos but it will be interesting to see what happens to this one.
