Open House Picks: Open Thread
Because of the holiday weekend, there are many fewer open houses than usual this weekend and those that are taking place are properties we’ve already covered. So please use this space to talk amongst yourselves specifically on the topic of open houses. Feel free to suggest ones that are interesting that we may have missed.

Hm.
amzi & mopar – i think 411 is gone, the realtor took the sign down and i ‘heard’ they had an offer. the one next door, the big 4 story with driveway is still for sale – but the owner wants 1.2M and is not flexible. not sure about the house number.
BushwickBK has some listings today for similar apartments but you have to be a family making less than $20,000. Crazy, but actually realistic for Bushwick.

There was a post on the Ditmas Park blog that linked to the Brokelyn (Broke in Brooklyn?)blog where I saw this “One bedroom apartments for $20,896.”
“If you’re single and make less than $73,725 a year, congratulations—you’re officially “moderate income†in NYC. (And you were psyched just to have a job!) What that means: you may be eligible to join the lottery to buy a one-bedroom apartment in this building—2310 Clarendon Road between 23rd Street and Bedford Avenue in Flatbush—for $20,896, through a program operated by the lefty-sounding Urban Homesteading Assistance Board, which also has listings in Bushwick.”
Clarendon Road is a pretty busy street but there are plans for some kind of streetscape. The car traffic has already been reduced to one lane each way and bike lanes have already been established. There are also bike lanes on Bedford. This is not Victorian Flatbush or PLG but there are some great shops all along Flatbush Avenue. For that price, I would live there. I can’t think off-hand where the nearest subway stop is but I am certain that it would be on the IRT and not the Q/B. Also finding on street parking for a car wouldn’t be that bad. I know that the intersection of Flatbush and Clarendon can get quite roudy in the summer but I don’t know if the overflow continues down to Bedford.
It might be worth the time to take a look and put in for the lottery.
Ohhhhhhh, thank you everyone. Good idea, Amzi.
Mopar that house on Stuyvesant by the park, I think it is 411A I think you should check out.. I was built as a two family. The price is very flexible I was told by the Realtor…
