There was a house for sale about 6 mos ago listed on Alb Terrace. The ask was like $700k. It sold very quickly.
That said, I dont see how anyone can justify $1.25 mil.
Why do I think that anyone who purchases Dean Street for $2.6 million might be thinking about sending their kids somewhere other than PS 38?
Coen Brothers Torture Corcoran Brokers in “No Country for Old Houses”
Suck it, PS 38
Wow, the real estate site for the Dean Street house sure is deceptive. The house is near Nevins Street, which puts it square in Boerum Hill. When you click through to schools you get a listing of about 70 schools with uninformative “data points” like pupil:staff ratios and average spending per child. (It turns out all the public schools are “blue ribbon” schools, whatever that means.) Buried in the middle of all that data is the actual zone school for the house: PS 38.
PS 38 was given an ‘A’ by the Board of Ed this year, by which you can reliably estimate that it sucks. And it does.
Albemarle Terrace is gorgeous and the house is gorgeous (and think what a great teen party space that basement would be!) Problem is the immediately surrounding area once you walk out of that charming cul-de-sac onto Church Avenue; it’s still pretty rough around there, retail is also dismal.
‘A soundproofed basement is cool. Makes a great TV screening room and child’s playroom.’
or a torture chamber for Corcoran brokers.
Look at 3:10. It’s The What in disguise! His compulsion to post links, and all! At least now he knows how to use tinyurl.
That graph is interesting. Guess I inadvertantly timed the market OK – bought just a couple years too late; sold maybe only a six months too early, given the current market. Wonder if I will buy again, or invest in something other than real estate. Agree renting is underrated.
