  1. 2:39, I’ve been looking and checked out PLG. Prices last year and before seemed reasonable for the park and train access, but the area has some big negatives. I hate the idea of not being able to put in a rental if I want. There are also limited services in the area. The worst part though was the feeling of segregation – the whites live in these cute little houses on the ‘residential’ streets and the blacks live in the rental (subsidized?) apartment buildings on the busy border roads.

  2. Just to show you how wrong people are on this site, this is a comment (one of MANY MANY) on August 21st of the 86 Garfield Place home that just sold for 2.08 million. Mr. Joist, where are you now??

    *****
    This is a modest house, no way it sells above $2 million. Go to Zillow and look at the 5 recent comps on 2nd street between 5th and 6th avenues (most in the $1.4 to $1.6 range).

    Yes, deeper building and renovation and details may explain the difference but that is a big price for that type/width of building in that part of the Slope (not a park block, etc.).

    BTW, I love 5th Ave … IMO, so much better than 7th!

  3. The Park Slope people are the worst: condo prices throughout the borough are falling, houses in marginal neighborhoods sinking fast, everything is contaminated…but not our precious PS ‘homes’. You’re gonna feel it like everyone else. You will.

  4. I’m assuming you are being sarcastic, 2:33.

    They ARE homes.

    I know 75% of people on here look at them as an ATM, but I don’t see how referring to them as homes is pretentious.

    I think the opposite.

  5. I know three couples that have excellent credit and good incomes but were denied jumbo mortgages. Sellers take note. Don’t be so greedy, and accept a good offer if it comes your way. Don’t play chicken.

  6. Not being that familiar with the neighborhood, does anyone have anything substantive to say about PLG? Is it really that bad? The Maple Street house looks to be really overpriced, but at $900K to $1M it would be pretty attractive. Sure, you have to see beyond the hideous interior, but the house looks like it has potential at a much lower price point.
