Can someone tell me the difference btwn a wood-frame house and a house that is not a wood-frame house? I feel dumb, but I am confused by these terms. The Victorian brownstones are not wood-frames, but how do they differ?
Why do people get so worked up arguing about where one neighborhood starts and the next one ends. My suggestion … calm down and if you want a reference, how about the city’s?
http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/html/neighbor/neigh.shtml
As good a reference as any. It shows neighborhoods like PPS, Ditmas, Flatbush, Midwood in the same color coded box, but who cares? There’s no iron curtain separating neighborhoods. Chester Ct. place looks like PLG on NYC.gov’s map (And by old school brooklyn conventions Flatbush is a huge area including many smaller neighborhoods).
Saw the South Slope house. Really nice house. Nicely renovated. Bright and airy. But what a terrible location! Not so close to trains, and not in a good school zone. It’s appealing and unappealing at the same time. The house would be worth a lot more if it were in a better location, so I guess the location is the compromise. I know everyone thinks it’s overpriced, but how low can a nicely renovated house go for these days?
“limp response = market condition”
limp response=crummy houses/slim pickings.
I’m not waiting to time the market. I’m waiting to find something worth buying. My finances are in order and I’m happy to write the check now, if only something worthwhile would appear.
2:51,
OF COURSE PLG is Flatbush, as is Ditmas Park, Prospect Park South, Albermarle-Kenmore, South Midwood, etc.
We’re not covered by the Flatbush Development Corp., so we’re left off their list of Flatbush neighborhoods, but we’re still proud to be located in Flatbush
Did anyone go to the OH on 2d street between 5th and 6th ave’s (multifamily – $1.4M)? Any reactions?

You people kill me. That property on Chest Court is in FLATBUSH. It don’t get more Flatbush than this. Prospect Lefferts Garden, my ass. I don’t give a care if you live on Rutland, Fenimore etc. and paid big $$$ to live there. Some of those homes are architectual gems, But this IS Flatbush(AND there nothing wrong with that).
I’m waiting to see what the economy does before I plunge into another house.
