If I had more confidence that Gowanus was going to get cleaned up, I’d be very interested in 4th and 8th. But I think it’s going to be a bunch of warehouses and a smelly canal for another 15 years … which is likely longer than I’d end up living in the house.
If 5th avenue is losing businesses, there’s no way 4th avenue is going to undergo a resurgence, you know? 🙂
That said, it’d be fun to be within walking distance of the Bell House.
CwB – ok gotcha, – I think that street is actually not soo bad and that 1 block commute to 4th avenue stop is sweet
but again – yes 4th ave isn’t ideal to wanna plant roots in – I get…
gemini10 – I could offer 600k, yeh … but I don’t think it’s actually worth 600k. Commute’s decent, but I’ve little interest in living in a fixer-upper on the Gowanus side of 4th ave.
There are nice 2BR condos in Prospect Heights, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, and even in Park Slope that have open houses that are cheaper than $600k, but they rarely get featured. That was my point.
re 6th ave. based on acris, looks like the mortgage came from mom, so probably don’t need to worry about the profit. in any event, its too small to hit close to asking in this market. the dining room w/ two chairs and a flat screen tv gives me the creeps.
8th avenue: nice house, nice price chop. Probably still needs to go a little lower.
6th avenue: looks like someone bought it for over 1 million around the market peak and fixed it up nicely. Will be tough sell it for any profit now, though.
Lefferts Manor: People in PLG probably need to start getting used to their homes being worth less than a million dollars.
Gowanus: Location is actually pretty convenient (much more remote areas have been called Park Slope in the past). Its just that the house itself is a dump. Knock off a few hundred thousand dollars and it might be worth fixing up.
OMG, 11217, I did not mean “all” as in every last one!
I did not see an article. I heard it on NPR. The City Council proposed–and Bloomberg endorsed–a plan to make many/most/some of the vacant luxury condos into affordable housing.
Totally agree with goldie on the 8th Street queasiness factor. It should come with a John Waters’ Odorama scratch and sniff card, perhaps smelling of stinky pets.
Mopar- the 8th street house is between 3rd and 4th which is not a bad location, its actually on the tree lined side of the block.
shillstoner – NOOOO – where is that article?
CWB – agreed! – however you could offer $600K for that 8th street house?!?!?!
