I’ve lived in Brooklyn for only a couple of years and now live in Ditmas Park West, not far from the 700 block of Rugby. I have this feeling that, if you nicely reached out to some of these orthodox families, they’d reciprocate and be very good neighbors. In fact, there’s an orthodox family right across the street from me and I intend to give it a shot. Now that the weather is warm and they’re occasionally out in their yard, I’ll go over and say hello since I’ve never really met them. I’m sure they want to be friends with their neighbors just as much as anyone else does. Am I being somehow “naive”?
Went to an open house at 735 Rugby, just up the block from 777. Something to consider in this area is that it is becoming more heavily Orthodox. They like to live close to Avenue J, where they do much of their shopping. Certainly not an issue per se, but they definitely keep to themselves and if one is worried about being isolated, this would only contribute to that.
Definitely reasonable compared to other neighborhoods, but wow prices in Ditmas area have risen quickly! Two years ago this house would have been $600K.
I walk by the Rugby Road house quite frequently. To me, viewing it from the outside, it appears to be in excellent shape. At the very least it looks well-maintained. I doubt that there are any serious structural repairs needed, and the roof doesn’t look very old. I think the prices is reasonable–in fact, I’d even say very reasonable relative to what you’d get in some other nabes.
I’m sorry that we have all the static to wade through, because I’d love to discuss the open houses.
I went to the one on Rugby Road house, and wasn’t overly impressed. It’s roomy, but needs a lot of cosmetics. And perhaps it needs more work that surface? I wasn’t sure about the outside paint job and the roof (which can be pricey with these old Victorians). Any one else have any comments? Imo it’s overpriced for its condition and the location (it’s next to Avenue H). I would have thought that $875K would be a fair price, but what do I know in this crazy market. I will be interested to see what it sells for.
I had a feeling that a lot of this weird business with identity stealing and shifting was being done by one of the established regulars here. It looks like I was right!
Mr. B, don’t give yourself a hard time about this. It wasn’t your fault. We make our beds and then have to lay in them! I have the sneaking suspicion that things are really going to settle down now on this board.
Actually, it looks to me like you deleted the right material. The posts by the person who was masquerading under multiple names (Bx2Bklyn and PLG Fan) disappeared. I went back and checked on this. So, you did nothing wrong. This practice of posting under multiple names has got to stop as it is really ruining the experience for other people who are interested in Brooklyn and real estate.
Looks like we deleted the real Bx2B rather than the imposter. Guess we’re going to have to start requiring log-ins which is a pity. It’s a good thing we don’t have anything else to do but police and delete comments!
Yes, thank you Mr. B, but what a PITA for you that you have to go to all this trouble.
