All that was stated was that, that side of Empire Blvd isn’t PLG and it isn’t. Why anyone is so quick to take exception to that is beyond me. Anon 3:41 & Babs, get over yourselves.
Facts is facts.
arghh, the agents repping the bergen street house are the absolute worst. we’ve had some very unfortunate dealings with them. beware.
9:11–nothing to suggest the market is glutted? Well just the glut of listings sitting around not getting sold, that’s all. There’s far more listings in all areas than there was a few months ago and the average time on the market has about doubled. Seems like a glut to me.
And still more on Toomey’s, from “Across the Park”:

Re: Babs’ post, here’s some pictures of Toomey’s diner from Planet PLG:

there’s nothing to suggest the brownstone brooklyn market is glutted. It’s a location issue with the Nevins address, plus we don’t know what the condition of the house is like, unless someone has visited and gotten an engineer’s report…
I saw the Empire Blvd house last weekend — apart from the less-than-great location due to Empire Blvd. traffic, the house itself is a dream inside — details, space, bedrooms, a great backyard, etc. Step inside and you forget being right on Empire Blvd. If I had young kids I might worry about being on such a busy thoroughfare, but otherwise it seems a great price! And in terms of neighborhood demographics, how is one side of Emprie Boulevard supposed to be so different from the other side — I prefer these one family houses on this stretch to the gross apartment buildings across the street, on the PLG side! And best of all here, it’s right across the street from Toomey’s (although this could be seen as a problem if you have a serious mac’n’cheese addiction problem…)!
the bergen street house is on a mixed use block…the other side of the street is all factory buildings (some awaiting conversion) and boerum place bisects the street. bergen is also wider on this stretch as you get to the light at court. the house my be nice, but this part of bergen street isn’t what i’d consider nice.
Anon 2:19,
The WT house has been at 750K for at least three months and has been on the market for at least twice that. Not sure what the problem is. Lovingly remodeled, lovely garden, a funny smell in the basement (wonder if others noticed it) a bit small for the price in a market showing signs of softening in more fringes areas.
Perhaps others like myself decided to hold out for more space and better proximity to the Slope and Prospect Park. Bet it would sell at <$700K.
