Open House Picks

how about lower north central slope.

I actually know the Rutland Road house well. I’m friends with the people who sold it years ago (and who did the renovation). Its a very sweet house, but some of the reasons my friends left must still be problems. The big problem is that it is right off of Flatbush. They heard a lot of traffic noise. You could also hear everything from the neighbors on either side–TV, talking, music. I was there a couple of times when we couldn’t talk because of the neighbor’s music.

My friends’ biggest problems may have been reduced since they left, which was people hanging out all night in front of the apartment building one house away, playing music, and having craps games. They said there was also constant music from the apartments–which they heard both from the front and from the rear. And there was music from parked cars in front of the apartment building. But that was a long time ago, so the building may have improved–it was mostly section 8 back then.

Montrose,

Thanks for the PLG info.
They are interesting because they’re so different than most of what I’m used to seeing in NYC. I’m always surprised when I stumble upon a tudor style building in NYC. (There is, of course, Tudor City in Manhattan which, according to Wikipedia, was built from 1927 – 1932.

wow, I do love that Rutland Rd. house. Wish I could go to the open house just to see it in person.

Really, is it every hour, the bells on Summit? Cause I’m a block away and I swear I don’t hear it every hour .. . . That doesn’t mean they don’t go off every hour, but .. . EVERY hour all day and night?
