And then Gowanus to the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, right? Wow! That’s very fast! I’m surprised that more Wall Street professionals are not buying in Ditmas. The commute by car is a cinch!
To BrownBomber – I’m not Anon 4:23 but
It’a actually a pretty quick trip into Manhattan – Ocean Pkway which becomes the Prospect which becomes the Gowanus (at Hamilton Ave vicinity).
What do you all think of this listing? Just hit the market. There won’t be an open house because its entirely occupied by tenants. Its on Prospect Place between Flatbush and 6th Ave.
Disclosures: I own the house next door. Would love to see a brownstone fan buy it and TLC it up right.
I love Ditmas Park. Grand beautiful homes on nice well kept streets. Quiet and charming. Though excellent bus and train service, perhaps the car/taxi ride is a little bit too long for the taste of some. What’s the fastest way by car to Manhattan?
I live in Ditmas Park and frickin’ love it. I was curious what generally holds people back from buying a house in that neighborhood? We’ve got good bus and subway, parking, a friendly diverse community, an up and coming commercial strip (Cortelyou Rd)with 3 new business’ opening this summer, a farmers market and of course Prospect Park. You can still buy 1 bedroom coops for $130,000-230,000. The area has great history and lots of beautiful evening walks through the spooky Victorian mansions of Prospect Park South. Would love to hear some thoughts…
Linus,
Thank you for bringing some sense to this thread. Good Grief. To compare a 20×50 house on Stuyvesant and Decater to a 18×42 house on Marcy & Greene…on an 18×78 lot??? Can we for once compare apples to apples? And to condemn an entire nabe because there are some housing projects, is borderline ignorant. Now if you have a preference NOT to live in a particular nabe, there’s no need to condemn those that find a reason to do so. If you want to comment on the asking price on a given house.. That’s fair game. So again. $1MM for that place IMO is a bit of a stretch.
777 Rugby is actually just off the above ground train tracks (Q/B) – on the Coney Island Avenue side. The price justifies the location! Remember, the trains run 24/7 – and won’t be far from your bedroom window.
Excellent point Linus. Indeed I’m very much aware of the brokers fiduciary duty to his or her client. However, fiduciary duty and market sensibility are not mutually exclusive. Though sellers ultimately determine price, one of the primary responsibilities of a broker is to inject common sense into the equation based upon their professional experience. Brokers when pitching their business must be realistic when gauging “fair market value” and should manage sellers expectations accordingly. With respect to under pricing, brokers rarely ever undervalue and misprice properties on the downside because the free market would invariably drive the price higher, i.e., generate a bidding war.
I live in CH but own various investment properties in the area. I have a vested interest in the nabe but I don’t want prices going up too quickly. Keeping Bed-Stuy affordable in the near term is in the best long term interest of the neighborhood.
Warren St has been on the market for a month at least so it’s not exactly being “snapped up”.
