That’s interesting — the Douglas St. house photos only show the top floor apt.
Looks like BoerumHill forgot to take his meds today.
What is an actually realistic price for St. Marks? Half that?? Nuts.
apologies, my last comment was directed towards ‘feral’ and not ‘mtr’. my bad.
mtr-
The projects are at the end of the street at douglass and hoyt. i live in the area and happen to think that section of hoyt is pretty sketchy from experience. yes, smith is also half a block away- but- i never said the location was horrible/the worst ever/ etc… i just mentioned that i think its awfully close to projects (where there was a shooting this year) ‘if you care’. You clearly don’t mind, but i bet other people would.
i think 1.3 for 1500 sq feet that needs to be renovated is a lot, given the location. just my opinion.
you must be a neighbor or friend, but go easy.. pretty valid opinion in my book.
Wow, half a million down and $13,000 a month – okay, $7,000 a month after your tenants pay their rent – to live on the parlor floor and in the basement of a narrow brownstone on St. Marks between Third and Fourth Avenues. That means that right now a really nice house on a Park block is going for, what, $4,000,000 plus? If this is a recession what happens when the market improves, $5,000,000 brownstones become the norm?
There is absolutely no sense of being close to the projects from the Douglass Street house. Give me a break, 718gal. It’s closer to being “ON TOP” of Smith Street restaurants and boutiques.
The price for the St. Marks house is… aspirational.
That 7th Street house sure is sweet.

1.3 million for a small house half a block from the projects?
You can buy ten in Jersey City for the same price.
…
And your point is…?
But let’s see if there is even a smidge of truth in your hyperbole.
That Douglas St house is 1634 sq ft, so lets make 1500 the minimum. I need ten houses in Jersey City that cost, on average, $130K. Oh, and we’ll need rental income to offset the cost – apples to apples, this is a 2-family.
97 multi-family listings in Jersey City today:
Median price: $399,900
Median size: 2,500 ft²
Median price per ft²: $162
The two least expensive that are comparable in size (ignoring condition or, egads, location) are $199K and $200K. The next two are over a quarter of a million. Looks like the answer is 5 or perhaps 6, if you want to own multi-families in a truly sketchy nabe – which Douglas Street is not, I can assure you.
BTW, I lived next to (3+ blocks) ‘the proects’ in question for 8 years. I’d say your post is full of shit from start to finish. This is not even a remotely dangerous location, and your a racist asshole for suggesting it is.
