Rereading my post made me aware of the ambiguity.
I was indeed expressing my preference for the Prospect Heights House. However, that impression was based entirely on the comparative interiors of the houses. If I was actually in the market for such a house, I would indeed consider it’s proximity to Atlantic Yards and the proposed street changes.
Re: Widening of Carlton –
I believe it is part of the Ratnerville plans
What’s with the Lincoln Place listing? No interior pix, no floor plan, and an asking price of $1,875,000 for a house they say needs renovation? Um, no thanks!
The E 32 St house is in the 67th precinct, which has reported 15 murders this year, down 32% from last year and 68% from 12 years ago:

As comparisons, the 71st precinct (which includes PLG) has had 19 murders YTD vs. 7 last year, and the 75th precinct, which covers East New York, reports 28 murders, up from 25 last year.
And that’s without even going to places like the South Bronx or Upper Manhattan, so this area has far from the highest murder rate in NYC! Perhaps this poster hasn’t been to the neighborhood in a while.
Is that widening going to happen regardless, or is it only a part of Ratnerville?
You are a real neighborhood booster aren’t you??
Regarding the PH house, how close is it to the border of Ratnerville?
You also might keep in mind that Carlton is going to be widened and all the street trees removed for the widening
I can’t believe that a “high-brow” company like Douglas Elliman, who is rather reluctant to hire black brokers, would venture into this this neighborhood, where raucous West-Indian music blaring from cars are routinely broken by the sound of gunshots. The house is in horrible shape with holes in the ceilings, peeling lead paint, antiquated fixtures and smells like an abandoned kennel. I estimate that it will take close to $100,000 to renovate this property. At close to $700,000 for a two 800sf apts in this neighborhood (with probably the highest murder rate in NY), this is a classic case of the inability of outside brokers to accurately price property in a neighborhood they wouldn’t be caught “dead” in. The market doesn’t allow for such preposterous pricing.
ClintonHillbilly – The Flatbush house is in East Flatbush, quite near Sears. It is three blocks over from the red house on Clarendon Road that is featured on my Architectural History of Flatbush website, in the now defunct Victorian neighborhood that was known as Vanderveer Park:

You can see a small bit of the area in the two photos.
Any chance the last poster doesn’t have kids? Brooklyn with children is much tougher with no car…
