Tune in tomorrow morning for Open House Picks: Apartments
PS is full of greedy sellers… this week’s open house pick is another example.
3:57, One of the reasons that PS is so expensive is that the schools are supposedly decent and therefore people think that they can save the 25K per kid annual cost of private school and therefore spend more on the mortgage. If the schools didn’t have the rep that they do, prices would be lower. That is a simple fact. People do not discuss schools when discussing other areas because it is assumed that they will be sending the wee ones to private school.
We should send the dogs to PS321.
I could give a shit about the school issue. I don’t have kids, probably won’t have em, and I’m looking in Park Slope. The price on the 5th Street house is still HIGH for what it is. And there are many other more attractive houses at lower. albeit still high, price points that have come on the market, check them out.
More children in the area do not mean more crowded classes. Class size is determined by the board of ed, and all around Park Slope (PS107, PS282, PS39, PS321) classes are already filled to the max.
Bigger schools (as in more children attending them) does mean more funds (as they receive a fixed amount times the number of children enrolled), which means more diverse opportunities for the students.
According to ‘inside schools’ website, some of the other schools in PS are more crowded than 321 (for example, 107). Only thing is 321 is bigger. Let’s not confuse things.
Anyhow, the price is determined by buyers, not sellers. Look at all those brownstones out of 321 ridiculously priced and languising. Asking prices don’t mean much. Closing prices are the ones to go by.
I would never buy a house with dogs in it, the price should be discounted for the price of the dog food that you will have to buy. Plus that Park slope house has no dogs so the house should be wider at least 20 feet to accomodate the dogs that are not there.
You all give way too much credit to the schools issue.
No one even talks of schools when it comes to Ft. Greene, Clinton Hill etc and many homes there have sold for at least this price, if not more.
You seem to only want to use the school card, when applied to Park Slope, but not when it applies to other neighborhoods.
The fact remains, that Park Slope itself is what gives the home it’s price…it’s a fantastic neighborhood. The difference between ps 39 or ps 321 has so little to do with the price.
That Berkeley Place home sold for 3.4 million and it’s in ps 282. NOT 321.
People want to live in Park Slope for the neighborhood. The school is simply an added bonus.
Otherwise, let’s start DEDUCTING money from the prices of all of the other horrible schools that most of the other non Park Slope homes are listed in.
Bed Stuy homes are cheaper, because BED STUY isn’t yet the most amazing neighborhood. Not because its elementary schools are below par.
Come on.
I know the Kensington house is on a very busy road – that gets terrible traffic from about 3pm-6pm… big downside for me
PS seems full of greedy, unrealistic sellers… this week’s open house pick is just another example.
