I also went to 2nd place Open House last week and I thought the broker was on crack to ask that price. There is basically no backyard, it’s narrow, and I don’t even think it’s being delivered vacant – plus, the tenants I saw seemed mighty cozy there. The inside has zero charm as it has been all chopped up and has an industrial-feeling common stairwell that frankly felt very depressing to me. I also sense that this a project for a developer, but will one take this on now in this market?
same shit, different day.
Why is it that whenever anyone notes that Crown Heights has a high crime rate they are branded a “hater” or labelled as “pitiful” or “jealous”? The OP simply asked about the safety of the area and people responded, IMO, honestly.
Re: the absurd Union Square comment above, the 77th precinct, which encompasses Brower Park, is statistically more violent than the 13th, which encompasses Union Square (all facts are year to date):
Murders: 77th (14), 13th (1)
Robberies: 77th (285), 13th (189)
Fel. Assault: 77th (288), 13th (173)
So, it’s not jealousy or hating. Crown Heights has a bona fide problem with violent crime. If you disagree, then provide some verifiable evidence to the contrary.
I don’t support neighborhoods that require using a vehicle.
Thanks anyway, 3:11.
76 Ryerson would be between Park and Myrtle. It’s the block that Walt Whitman grew up on, behind Pratt near KFC (if that’s still there). Can’t believe the price. I bought the place I used to have on Ryerson for $38K in Sept. 1994. It was inhabited by squatters at the time but we got them all out for less than $500. I know the neighbors appreciated the fact that we’d moved the heroin dealers off the block but $1.250M for a place closer to Park than the place we had?
Brower park is nice in fact the proximity to the park makes the park pl house very attractive. I am a newcomer to crown heights, recently moved from Manhattan with family, and we simply love it. You do need a car…The Brooklynian recently had a thread on why people love Crown Heights – from people who actually live there (see below)

Oh boy, here we go. God forbid you leave Park Slope out of the open house picks lest they start trashing every other neighborhood.
Brooklyn as a whole is way over priced.
” if crown heights had floors of brownstones for sale around 200,000 people would buy them. ”
