How much are rents in Crown Heights?
Thanks MM I wish I could make that open house also but have to work on Sunday:( lol
Thanks again.
Neogrec-
Corco is one of the higher priced houses, thats why. And their stock is WAY better than this dump on Warren Street.
Even Corcoran wouldn’t price this dump higher than 1.2 at the -highest-.
Pierre, when the LPC did their initial survey of Crown Heights North in 1976, this block was part of the proposed land marked area. By 2007, the area to be designated was deemed too large for one fell swoop, so CHN was divided into 4 phases. This block is in phase II. Ironically, almost all of the local people who founded the Crown Heights North Association, which got the ball rolling, ended up in Phase II, which has some truly magnificent architecture. The other phases are now on LPC’s long waiting list. Hopefully soon, it will be landmarked.
All that to say I don’t know who the architect is. It could very well be Montrose Morris, or George P. Chappell, J.C. Cady, Axel Hedmen, or a number of other prominant Bklyn architects who did a lot of work in brownstone Brooklyn. Maybe I’ll find out at the open house. I certainly will post a report on the open house, in any case. I’m looking forward to seeing another potential dream house.
Prodigal, If there’s no upside here how come Corco has 4 houses in Cobble Hill listed as follows: $2.295m, $2.295m, $2.75m and $3.995m? Just askin’.

That Warren place is awful.
For 1.6? No way.
This should be a mil -max-. It needs a gut reno.
Funny, the Cobble Hill house is the most interesting to me, not the least. I don’t claim to know this specific block but it appears to be a great location and prices in this nabe generally start at $2m and go on up from there. If you’re not looking to flip it and can afford an $800k to $1m reno, this could be very sweet down the road. Our house looked way worse than this when we bought in ’99 and our friends thought we were nuts. Not anymore they don’t.
FatLenny, good one!
LC Arnett, thanks for your answer. If it’s approx. 25 mins to Prospect Park, I would guess, without mapquesting it, it would be less than 3 miles. I think a 25 min. walk would be between one and two miles, going at an average pace.
I looked at a beautiful limestone on that CH block for $1.2 Mill back in 2005. It was the first time I had ventured over there and I couldn’t believe how beautiful the housing stock is.
I think CH has a bright future since the houses are so beautiful but I’d probably be under water if I had bought back then. $1.2 Mill in CH is now looking very high.
