“there’s thousands of brownstones for 400k”
In Baltimore?!?!
Carrie M, please get a grip. The house you refer to in Lefferts is nowhere near as nice as any of these and it’s in an extremely dangerous neighborhood. My guess is that your earlier post was just a joke, but please realize that people look to this site for sincere, informative thoughts about real estate. Comments like your are just going to waste their time.
Beware Clifton Place is for high roller but the place is amazing. I moved 2 months ago to clifton pl from Clinton AV and this is a great block. This house is the second modern reno on the block. I don’t particulary like or dislike these rich flks but the rents are going up on the block and I wish to stay around.
5:11 stop complaining, that’s the price of brownstones. Go to another blog if you don’t like the prices.
9:09 there’s thousands of brownstones for 400k just not in fort greene
Gee, twenty years ago you were considered a nut for buying in Fort Greene because it was ON the A/C/G train lines, a rough neighborhood full of broken down houses and NOT in Manhattan. Now you are considered nuts for buying a Brownstone not near the A and C lines, actually closer to Manhattan on the Northern edge of Bed Stuy (15 minutes to Manhattan over the Williamsburg Bridge) and in the last of the affordable brownstone neighborhoods. Get a grip folks, Bed Stuy is the last chance at an affordable Brownstone. Like it or not, sub prime crisis or not, the days of a 400K brownstone are over.
The Clifton place is typical of too many properties in Bed-Stuy: over a million and the inside is a piece of shit. Nice photo of the subway station, but the G doesn’t go anywhere and the whole north end of the neighborhood is full of projects. These greedy Corocoran types are trying to ride the coattails of the nicer part of the neighborhood (the Fulton end served by the A and C). I know Bed-Stuy has arrived, and middle class people need to get in now, but the neighborhood is huge, and not all of it is “brownstone Brooklyn.”
Hey 5:05, I make more than $250k a year and I can’t afford these places.
Our bad on the Clifton neighborhood thing–weren’t paying attention…also, we didn’t mean that these 4 houses were necessarily leftover losers, just that as you peruse what’s out there, there’s not a lot of fresh, enticing inventory. yet.
