” My neighbors in Greenpoint were transient new immigrants and trustafarian kids.”
haha.
translation: young white people. let me break it to you, if someone is living in greenpoint they more than likely don’t have a trust fund. Damn those young people walking around with their tight pants and long hair.
ditto pretty much nailed why Greenpoint is (and always will be) more valuable. It’s safer and has much better schools. Shockingly enough, this is much more important to the vast majority of people out there (exluding, natch, Brownstoner.com asthetics snobs).
oh – sorry, the commute from Utica A isn’t that wonderful – anyone in north greenpoint would beat you to midtown in a commute race.
Crown Heights kithen — only 100 years too modern for mopar.
But they’re not comparable, and Stuy Heights is a much more stable middle class neighborhood than Greenpoint.
I lived one block from 198 Green. Greenpoint, particularly that part of Greenpoint, is smelly, dirty and ugly. People get sick living there and its only train doesn’t go into Manhattan. The only bonus is plenty of bars and restaurants.
Now I live in Bed Stuy, not too far from the Bainbridge house. It’s attractive, quieter, has mature green space, no pollution problem and an enviable commute. There are fewer restaurants, but I certainly don’t lack for amenities.
My neighbors are middle-class people whose families have lived here for as long as sixty years. My neighbors in Greenpoint were transient new immigrants and trustafarian kids.
the public elementary schools in Greenpoint are excellent. Thats important for a lot of people. And I don’t mean the self-comforting parents say they are excellent, they actually really are good. Also Greenpoint crimes-against-the-person are extremely low, though its more difficult to see that when its stats get lumped in with Williamsburg’s.
I’ don’t think the Greenpoint house will get the price but you made two inaccurate statements. There is no more toxic waste on Green st. than there is on Bainbridge. Plus the G is at India st. which is two blocks. About 20 mins to midtown if you change to the G at Ct. sq.
Right or wrong, bed-sty is discounted because of the fear that it will regress to the bad days. Greenpoint is a “stable” middle class neighborhood so theres a bit of a premium compared to other neighborhoods with similar services, amenities and commute.
I don’t understand the difference in value between Greenpoint and Stuy Heights buildings.
True, there’s little-to-no information about each, and they both look overpriced. But I’ve walked on both blocks a thousand times. On Green street you’ve got lovely McGuinness blvd, toxic waste, downwind from a lot of waste transfer stations and the poop-treatment plant, no mature trees, about a ten minute walk to the G train and relatively rude neighbors (I know why hipsters suck… but what’s with Polish people?). On Bainbridge and Stuyvesant you’ve got mature trees, architectural interest, friendly street life, a 2 minute walk to an express train and a pretty park.
It seems like such a no-brainer to me. Who on earth decided that Greenpoint is valuable?
Curious how they fit 2br, bathroom, kitchen, stairs, living room in 18×30 floor plate in the rental on the South Slope house.
can a brother get a cushy but mega high paying gig by next week so I can start commenting how cheap are the prices of these ppties?
