Thats obviously a joke 8:12, right?
That house on 13th will be worth jack shit once AY gets built. I’t almost right next door!
i believe the park slope message boards have a ton of info on schools in the neighborhood…

RE: 321 overcrowding.
Rumors have circulated that 321 will be re-drawing their boundary lines in the near future; with 4th ave being exculded.
If anything the 4th ave condos will put pressure on 282 which is already becoming more and more crowded.
4:12 – 3:43 here. I am not 4:06, nor do I hope the schools suffer. I’m actually looking to buy, potentially in Park Slope, which is why I ask.
Sounds like you’re a little emotional and beaten down by the anti-slope rants. What I am looking for is some objective feedback on the schools, not a plug from the PS chamber of commerce.
nope, meant friend.
again. anyone who likes park slope is not necessarily a broker.
do you not think those of us who LIVE here wouldn’t love it?
i don’t assume anyone who loves ft. greene or carrol gardens or clinton hill are brokers. i think they are homeowners who love their new neighborhoods.
your comment suggests you HOPE the schools will suffer from increased kids in the neighborhood, in which case you are the most cynical poster of the thread.
Laughable. “My broker friend says only single people are moving in.” Don’t you mean my co-worker, not friend?
i’m fully aware 321 is crowded. i already said so.
but i do know from 2 broker friends that nearly all of the contracts put in on the two bigger 4th avenue condo projects, that there are very few families.
i went to what was considered one of the best public high schools in the country.
we had class in trailers, and i thought i had a good education and it continues to be a blue ribbon school years later.
if the crowding gets unbearable, they will do something.
but for now, having classes taught in trailers is just that.
a school is as good as it’s teachers, principal, students and their parents. the physical structure really is not what matters most.
having the opportunity to send your kids to a quality school like 321 or 282 matters a lot in housing prices…especially when most of the rest of the city is pretty mediocre (at best) in terms of schools.
it’s no different in the burbs.
i happen to really love park slope and realize that a lot of people don’t care for it at all either.
i just wish people could be a little more objective about it all.
some of the people here are nuts, no doubt…but the physical beauty of the architecture, the park, the eco-friendly attitude, all of the great shops and restaurants while being 20 minutes from manhattan really makes up for a stroller here or there or a mom showing her rack at two boots. i couldn’t love it any more….faults and all.
3:34 – I’m not taking sides. Neither a park slope cheerleader nor hater here.
Now that that’s out of the way. My understanding from people who live in Park Slope is that 321 is overcrowded (teaching in trailers, for instance?). That’s not a judgment on the neighborhood, which is great. It’s merely a reality based on its popularity and a trend that I would expect to increase rather than abate, particularly with folks moving into the 4th avenue condos. I’m not sure how you come up with the comment that most of the people moving into the condos are single. That doesn’t sound like a very credible or supportable comment (how would you know?), but I think it may be wishful thinking on your part or some effort to rationalize that 321 won’t suffer.
In any event, I’d be curious to hear what parents’ experiences have been at both 321 and 282 recently.
