Did someone say that the basement on 5th St has a shower? Hmmm- the department of buildings approved that?
Park Slope is not the “largest enclave of early 20th century architecture in the U.S.” I thought the largest early 20th century enclave, in New York anyway, was Victorian Flatbush which was mostly developed between 1900 and 1904. Park Slope and the other Brownstone neighborhoods were developed beginning in the mid 19th to late 19th century and even then, doesn’t Bed-Stuy have a larger enclave?
It’s weird though, because the other day I was talking to a woman from Manhattan, who I must tell you, is absolutely clueless about any geographical area outside of her 10-block radius, and I mentioned that my husband and I were looking to buy a place in Park Slope. The first thing out of her mouth was that “the moms in Park Slope were clique-y” and she could never move there as a single mom. I’ve heard this too, and I have no idea what the heck it means… beyond its literal interpretation. First of all, who are these “moms” and how are you clique-y as an adult? Then, someone else wrote on another thread to “be careful because the Sarah Lawrence moms that hang at the Connecticut Muffin will cut you”!
Park Slope is a beautiful, gorgeous, eco-friendly, urban neighborhood with some good schools, a world class park and the largest enclave of early 20th century architecture in the U.S.
Some people are childish and either are jealous of it or have decided, based on a small population of the neighborhood, that they hate it.
It’s silly. You can hate the inhabitants all you’d like (personally I don’t get it, but to each his/her own) but the hatred towards the neighborhood itself is beyond me.
You hate beautiful old buildings, mom and pop stores, parks, good schools….??
Ok. Then you are spawned from Satan.
What is it, really about dogs that elicits such extreme expressions of both love and hate? I don’t get that either.

The 5th Street house looks terrific and love the block. Price seems ok – don’t see much in this price range that compares. Hearing really good things lately about P.S.39.
I have a severe allergy to dogs. I sometimes start wheasing if I am just standing next to someone who has a dog. Yes homes can and should be thoroughly cleaned prior to moving in but I learned from my days of renting that it is extremely difficult to remove dog dander. While working with my agent I had to remind her not to show me homes with dogs. I may be in the minority but I am sure there are others like me. Some people may not have health issues but just may be turned off by seeing a dog in the photos. Just today on HGTV seller’s were told to put their huge dogs in a kennel and to remove the dog bowl from the kitchen floor among other things when showing their home.
