live on Clifton & Classon…the big loft is on a block that’s kind of industrial but not so bad especially if you like that sort of thing….the area is changing quickly. Technically it is bed stuy but is really kind of no man’s land between the two. I do think the ceiling is kind of low in that space though.
yes, $625 psf in that area is overpriced, and completely illogical. check minsky’s place out:

less than $300k than the 93 lex place and it’s closer to manhattan and a lot cleaner/newer looking.
sorry, anne peabody is fishing and no one is biting on this one.
nice try, but NEXT……
My understanding is that the CH borders are not technically delineated – and this seems more like CH than BS to me (disclaimer: I live 2 blocks away). That block also has at least 3 and possibly 5 buildings being converted on it.
The thing about price per square foot is that it is not always technically the thing that matters most to buyers. For example, the layout/usefulness of a space is key, so that a 1500 sf apt can be much more useful than one that is 2000 or 2400 – after a certain point, is it really worth it to pay for a lot of extra space when you don’t really need the actual square footage? This relates to the issue the person who was talking about rare 3BR’s talks about. What would you rather have: a 2BR, 1BA with 1300 SF, or a 3BR/2BA with 1200? I’d say the latter, since you get more use out of the space.
Here’s the thing for me about the Clinton Hill loft–if it WERE in Clinton Hill, which it’s not (by half a block), The What’s claim that you could rent it for 2500 to 3000 sounds off to me– it’s a 2400 square foot loft with a rockin’ kitchen. You pay 2500 for a much smaller apart in Fort Green/Clinton Hill, both of which are hardly “fringe” nabes–they’re great. But the fact that it’s nominally in bed-Stuy probably changes the equation.
Besides, the place ain’t for rent, it’s for sale. But lemme ask you this, folks: at 1.5 million, they’re asking $625 a sf. Is that so bad for Brooklyn? And even though it’s technically in bed-Stuy, it’s so close to CH (and to the C train, unlike much of CH), that I think it’s kinda nicely situated. I must admit that I’m not familiar with the look of the block. Is that that loft building where that well-known artist lives who was on the home tour this past summer? If so, really cool building, but not a particularly attractive block.

4:57, can you give us a comp? How big was your apt, how much did it sell for, and when? Thanks!

Regarding the comment about PS 321 not being mentioned in the listing, we recently sold our 3 bedroom on 3rd st. and our broker said that it is now illegal to mention what school the property is zoned for. Sounds ridiculous but they wouldn’t do it.
