the problem isn’t Westchester, it’s just what suits you. Westchester is not urban. Period. I’ve been tempted by Nyack on occassion (we’ve got friends there and I grew up nearby), but after a few days… I want to be in walking distance of a subway. I wouldn’t mind a place to getaway to on weekends, but as far as permanent residence – no thanks.
How is westchester not suburban. Isn’t it a suburb?
1:59–What’s with the anti-Westchester attitude? I’ve been looking there, since so many friends have moved there, and I’m really liking it. Up north there are great old houses, lots of open space, peace and quiet, beautiful parks and unspoiled land. Not to mention interesting people and lots of museums, galleries, and art centers. It isn’t urban, but it isn’t really suburban either. And it is far better than Jersey, that’s for sure. Perhaps you’re talking about southern Westchester, which I agree is gross and just as bad as Jersey.
1:59 your response is completely on point..that was a strange post, people like that poster are (probably) responsible for the very situation he/she decries.
Re: ‘so-five-minutes-ago’ . . . if you define life by the temperature of the housing market and the hype in the media, then perhaps you are right. But if you are looking for a great place to raise a family and just live your life, then its hard to find a better combination of location, appeal, and price, especially compared to the alternatives, such as Manhattan, New Jersey or, god forbid, Westchester. Sounds like you should move to the next hot locale and start your own blog.
The bay ridge house has been on the market for months.. It is awful, small rooms, one bathroom, cluttered and the block is not pretty. I think way overpriced. It needs a lot o’ work inside. Kitchen is 50’s but not cool 50’s.
361 11th Street is so overpriced it is not funny.. May be it will sell for $1.3 or $1.4.. I believe it is owned by the same family who has the listing.. This firm can’t sell any houses in Pak Slope. They lack any expertise..
Oh man, this is so sad. Brooklyn real estate feels so five-minutes-ago. It used to be so fresh and exciting, but now it is overexposed, overpriced and overblown. Brooklyn has had it’s moment and now it is just a sad imitation of its former self. Time to cash-out and move, I’m afraid.
Re BR- if the top floor is listed at 900 sq ft, it would mean that it is as large as the other floors ( PS says 30X30). I am doubtful, but optimistic. No parking is a minus, but lots of outdoor space and a huge FAR…I stand by my sight unseen estimation that this is a good deal. And don’t forget that these houses usually have very workable if not finished basements with hefty sized ceiling heights- many of them are used as apartments. In BR, I find that you pay for “unique”… I may have to check it out in person…
