Personally, I think the St. John’s house looks pretty great. Not the greatest block but the proximity to the park, museum etc. is terrific.
As a CH resident, I must say that CH is pretty vast compared to Prospect Heights with or without the block between Washington and Classon, and this block probably relates more to Prospect Heights anyway in terms of neighborhood feel (i.e., in my opinion, Prospect Heights doesn’t seem like much of a cohesive neighborhood at all but rather a sort of borderland). While the realtor obviously thinks Prospect Heights has more cache (read: whiter), in another sense it would probably be a bit misleading to suggest that this house is within what CH-ers view as Crown Heights (grand historic residences and churches, etc.)
Typing from iPhone in car. If ninth at goes for 1.8 million and rental is 3500 per month then mortgage for owners triplex is what maybe 3500 or 4000? That’s not out of line with rental prices. Maybe we are close to a bottom. Places are in the 300s in some areas like ocean hill which means they’re cheaper than renting. Flippers are buying them.
Not true about the train vibrations on 9th street–varies greatly from home to home. No idea why.
There is more traffic than on the one-ways, though much less once you hit 6th avenue and leave the commercial zone. The upside of the traffic is less crime–nobody tries to break into a house or car when there’s cars and, more importantly, foot traffic around. They’ll go to one of the one-way streets for that.
On that Park Slope house those brokers need to add more photos to the listing and perhaps less blonde coloring to their hair.
9th St. is very nice, but every house on that street gets vibrations from the subway. Plus, there’s a lot of traffic — and I can’t tell what school zone this is in.
don’t dive, muff, or at least wait till you see a good trim. if you’re patient, it’ll go down on you and you won’t have to take a bath.
Floor is far away. We’re only about 10 inches below the ceiling at this point. Pretty much only stuff that’s selling are things that are aggressively priced to begin with, and are willing to accept some further concessions from buyers expecting deep discounts. I’m one of them, and I’m holding my cash until I find a *real* value, not one of these ridiculously priced properties brokers like Corco slap “value” on and think the mere designation makes a difference (even when the price is barely discounted…). Can’t wait til the wintertime!
