Open House Picks

I understand your analysis 4.37, but Clinton Ave. between DeKalb and Lafayette is a prime location and not a financial risk, hence the hefty asking price. You have all the restaurants within walking distance, the A/C (and the G if that’s useful to you). One downside is it’s a busier street that some of the side streets, though there are no buses… It’s actually one of those places where you can get a copy of the original newspaper advertisement for its sale from the 19th century.

PS is great too. FG is firmly established now. Some edges of Clinton Hill represent value versus what you’d be able to buy in PS, Brooklyn Height, BoCoCa etc.

But then again, according to some, all of brownstone brooklyn will be worthless after AY… (sarcasm intended) 😉

Do you, 4:37, think 2.35 is too much to ask for an 1856 3-family brick rowhouse on Lafayette? I’m trying to get a fix on this asking. Any guidance from anyone would be appreciated.

I think PS is particularly interesting for a lot of people because if things really do take a tumble in the national economy, it’s a neighborhood that will hold it’s own.

If you are out there now looking for a place to buy, I’d be much less worried plunking down 3.4 million on Berkeley than I would 2.7 million on Clinton.

Clinton is terrific, but it’s just not quite as safe, financially speaking.

I’m slightly biased, though.

Thanks 4:05. It had not been discussed in earlier posts, only mentioned, but no facts.

The house on Berkeley Place is almost twice as large as the 13th Street and has beautiful woodwork and interior details. Notwithstanding the disparity in locations, there’s no comparison.
