most people moving into the new condos on 4th avenue are single.
sorry to be the lone voice of reason here, but very few families have bought at the crest, novo, etc.
your “pressure” on ps 321 is non-existent.
it is crowded as it is, but most in the neighborhood know that ps 282 is reaching a level in quality nearly equal to that of 321.
park slope has two very good schools. some of the best in the city. it’s another reason why people like to hate it so much. lots of new yorkers are cynical and like to hate things they can or do not have.
it’s the nature of human beings here, i suppose.
One that that makes schools improve is parents taking the chance and putting their kids in the schools, and then being very active in the school.
Somebody posted a great story of a school, was it in Carroll Gardens? Where something like a dozen parents decided together to put their children in the school, and get active, and it worked. It became a good school. Apparently, school administrators say it does take a good amount of parents. Like a dozen or more. But if your neighborhood has an active assocation, it’s something you could try. I’m sure it’s all about perfect timing too, coinciding with the school getting a great new principal, and a surge of new residents in the area, stuff like that. Such a thing might not work at any given time. Also there’s usually too much panic about schools, for parents to take chances like that. I don’t blame them, it would be tough.
Jesus 1:39, don’t you have any open houses to host?
2:16 – I have to agree. There’s absolutely no capacity at 321 from what I understand, and that’s before all the 4th avenue condobreeders start spawning. The mystery to me is what forces are necessary to improve schools in the city and in specific neighborhoods? In other words, will schools naturally evolve with the neighborhood, or will endless political/civic/other interference, griping and lobbying be required (in which case, it could take a while).
Another cynical one, at 2:22pm!
I am NOT a broker.
You really think a broker would tell people NOT to pay more money for certain school districts? Your assumption makes no sense at all. Doesn’t add up. Brokers LOVE the hysteria over PS 321. They totally milk it.
It comes down to this. Everytime anybody says anything positive about Park Slope, the bitter types have a deep need to believe it’s a broker. If you can’t afford Park Slope, buy somewhere else! We did. Get over it.
Another smarmy broker. Thanks
Someone said:
“It is also in a far better school district than the berkeley place house which is accross the street from ps282, the center slope school that nobody in PS will send their kids too.”
Yes it’s sad that people are so reluctant to send their kids to PS 282, when it really is a good school and we ourselves would give anything to have it in OUR neighborhood! The only reason they turn their noses up at it, is simply because PS 321 exists so nearby.
Everything will change with the schools in Park Slope. PS 321 lines are going to get redrawn, once 4th Avenue condos currently inside PS 321 district glut the school with so many children. Then PS 282 will become the next PS 321 because AY residents and other big luxury condos in North Slope like The Vermeil will have to send their children there. Having spent all their money on real estate, with nothing left to pay for private schools. In the end, anybody who is buying real estate based on where the school districts are now, when their child (many times yet to be born) won’t start school until years from now, is not being smart.
In other words, why would the 13th St. house be a “pick”? I don’t get it.
How much do these brokers advertise on the web to sell this crap?
I look at that Clinton Avenue house, and even with the lack of photos, it doesn’t seem overpriced to me. Of course, you have to love historic details, but that walnut trim is fabulous. It’s set up as an owners’ triplex, a big 1 br and a small 2 br. Sounds like you could bring in 3.5k a month in rents, or go nuts and have a huge place for a big family. One poster mentioned Manhattan prices, and yes, this would be 8-10 mil. there.
