Does anyone have an answer for 11:38 re the Pres St house?
Perhaps those mentioned parts of Queens are indeed some half assed suburb. But in defense of Bay Ride, though the commute into the city is long, you absolutely don’t need a car in Bay Ridge. Most of my middle aged friends have never owned a car and feel fine without one. Perhaps it’s suburban, but I don’t think it’s half assed. At least they theorize Jane Jacobs wouldn’t think so:

Just sayin’…
Link for 162 Bergen:

i see nothing listed for corcoran on bergen.
what’s the link?
I went to 162 Bergen (not an OH pick; listed by Corcoran). The place was packed. Lots of good-looking, super self-conscious fashion types. House needs at least $500K in work. Super-ornate parlor crown moulding. Charming house.
I’ll take upstate or Rockland County over Bayside anyday…no contest. Bayside, Little Neck, et al, are neither here nor there–they’re a weird hybrid. Too far out to be relevant or convenient, yet not far enough to offer the advantages of a true suburban area. Half-assed indeed.
I just came from the CH open house. It was beatifully restored. How many bedrooms were there ???- 5 I think and the 3rd floor was a Master Suite of a huge bedroom, HUGE bathroom and walk through closet. The backyard garden is one of the nicest Ive seen….However the price is probably a bit high, as it is far east in CH. However whoever buys it will be sitting on a very unique piece of architecture AND will come out very well in the next few years. I think it may go btw 1.1 and 1.2 million, and in 10 years it will be worth twice as much….
Jeez. Bayside and/or Douglaston are the suburbs people. It’s alright to use that word, right? Or is it now politically incorrect too?
Someone already pointed this out–there is no public transportation. The distances are longer and you need a car. You cannot live in those neighborhoods without a car. In that regard, they are completely different than most areas of Brooklyn–so yes, they are part of “OUTER” Queens and always will be. But for many people that is a good thing. They are the suburbs…there is nothing wrong with that word. USE IT! Many people prefer the suburbs. That’s fine.
Did anyone go to the open house at 162 Bergen Street? interesting place.
