it’s not exactly ZERO foot traffic.
bkny, you’re right
404 (I think) went for $1.15MM
408 was bought by Babs for $1.465MM

Pigeon,
I’m with you on that one. Bed Stuy (or parts of it rater, are quite beautiful) but I didn’t move to NYC to experience total quiet. I moved here because it’s full of people and things to do.
Moving from Manhattan to Park Slope took some getting used to the slower pace in and of itself and I’d say Park Slope is one of the least quiet Brownstone neighborhoods. But it’s still pretty darn quiet.
I would not want to live in a place any MORE quiet than Park Slope, but everyone is looking for something different and a lot of it probably has to the stage you are in your life.
I like people watching…it’s one of my favorite things about New York. To be in a place where you don’t have a lot of foot traffic would be of zero interest to me, personally.
And now we apparently have one less coffee shop that served arguably, bad coffee.
bkny…i think she actually paid only 1.15MM…I’ll try and find it…it was 408-412 Stuyvesant, just not sure which one.
And, unlike other parts of brooklyn, we don’t have a lot of pesky, dirty pigeons all over.
DIBS – don’t forget the 1.4M Babs purchase on Stuyvesant (Chauncey & Bainbridge)
bainbridge is way over priced. i think i saw this house a few years ago. the owner kept saying Robert Fulton lived there, if it’s the same one. beautiful woodwork on the parlor but everything else need WORK. way overpriced!
I’ve been meaning to fly over to Bed-Stuy (I’ve never been there!) but I’m so caught up in looking in other neighborhoods that it’s hard to find time.
Bklyn is so very big!
But the following description (written by Dibs) is not what I’m looking for: “This is a really beautiful and really quiet area. it’s not like other parts of Brooklyn with all the foot traffic, strollers, shoppers all over.” You make it sound like a suburb, Dibs!
