Can’t begin to comment on price, but Columbia Place is really interesting for being NEW construction. You just don’t see that much, and the layout is very family-friendly. Not having the maintenance costs and headaches of a 140 year-old townhouse could be really appealing for some, and this place looks well constructed.
Plus, being new, maybe the owner had the foresight to do whatever could be done to minimize subway vibration if that’s a factor.
gemini-I don’t live in the neighborhood but did extensive research on the area when I was looking to buy (before buying in Clinton Hill, near the border of BS). Anyway, that area is pretty nice. The block itself looks pretty good and Lewis and Stuyvesant Aves have most of the nicer amenities in the neighborhood from a restaurant/retail point of view. Walk to the subway (A train)is probably 10 minutes which is more than most people would probably want but not too bad either.
Biff, it is not Park Slope. It is DUEXANN (district under the expressway and near nothing).
“but that doesn’t mean prices should be equal.” Agree completely which is why I say we are having a non-argument.
Wasder (or anyone familiar with Bed Stuy) – how safe a nabe is the Madison House street in?
Also what sort of amenities are nearby?
Just curious as the price is ridiculousy low and you are right I would offer 600Kish, figuring you could get $1500 for each rental – correct?
cwbuecheler have you look at the foreclosure route. I know they usually want 10% down ans you have like 30 days to pay it off.. I know of a few houses in “prime” Bedford Stuyvesant like 119 and 143 MacDonough Street also you have 259 Hancock St. All these house have owe under 400K to the bank.. I am not sure about all these address today but 6 months ago all these were in pre-foreclosure.
I just clicked on the map for 14th Street. That’s considered Park Slope?? Seems world’s away from “Prime Slope”. Looking at this location and not being sure of the rental situation, I don’t think one can say at this point it’s a good price.
The Park Place house has been on the market for months, starting at $2,250,000 – I remember the comments about the ‘blue tape’ paint job in the kitchen.
Columbia Place is interesting but insane in the asking price. We were looking at the house at 7 Columbia Place when it was on the market and it got substantial vibrations and noise from the subway – have to imagine that this place, right on the corner, is going to be as bad. I do like the light afforded by the corner lot.
Fair enough Wasder. But this isn’t about people wanting different things. People may (and will) choose Clinton Hill over Park Slope, but that doesn’t mean prices should be equal.
Clinton Hill began gentrifying about 20 years after Park Slope did. And the prices do not reflect that.
That’s really the point.
