Thanks for the even-handed post Saint Bob.
Plenty of people raise kids on Lincoln Road, they even let them out to play.
When will people stop acting like the neighborhood is in a field between two opposing armies who are exchanging gunfire? Have any of you people who feel the need to cry “danger” ever even walked around the blocks of PLG? It’s quiet, tranquil, and safe. They have one of the best community organizations I have ever seen, and many of the people there actually know and speak to each other. We all should live in such a great neighborhood.
Yes, it has problems, rowdy spots, downright bad spots, and crimes do occur. But that’s a far cry from “dangerous.”
The houses on that block of Jefferson are quite nice in my opinion. I don’t know if that makes it a good deal, but I don’t see how location is a drawback for this particular property.
oh, and propshark shows 643A Jeff just sold in Jan for $665K.
re:643 Jefferson….Propshark shows a 643A Jefferson with same pic as Corcoran.
So Corcoran dropped the A or propshark has mixed up addresses .
Well, stuy blkbuttrflie, I don’t know, since I’ve never seen the inside, which I may go do this weekend, just for fun.
I happen to think almost everything is overpriced, but my thinking that doesn’t make them go down any, so I’m dealing with what they have dealt me here.
But if the house is between Stuy and Malcolm X, and the hist. district ends at Stuy Ave, we’re not talking about WAAAY out of the area with the million dollar houses, they are just around the corner and down a bit, so it stands to reason that as they appreciate, so will this one, albeit a bit slower. I’m not that familiar with the specifics of that block, as I used to live on Jeff between Marcy and Thompkins, and that’s a ways away.
In answer to your second post, let’s say the house is suffering from years of neglect and the usual ignoring or shoddy repair of small things, like leaks, which are now large problems, and needs new plumbing, electrical, and plastering, and probably some floor repairs, and a whole lot of cosmetics. Even if it needs a new roof or boiler. Not to mention some facade/backyard work. If the house has good bones,(for me)great detail and built-ins, and a good layout, I’d consider it money well spent. The area is only going to go up in value, and also important to me, would be a great place for me to live.
re: 643 Jefferson….click on propshark.. and shows pic of diffenent house and indicates on corner of Stuyvesant.
Did Corcoran put in wrong address or wrong photo?
crownheightsproud – if the jefferson house does indeed need 250k of work (per corcoran – and we all know how honest they are at appraisal) that means you’ll spend over a million dollars for this house. don’t you think thats just a bit too much to bite off to be between malcolm x and stuyvesant?
I’m willing to bet that Jerry has no personal experience. Essentially, he’s refering to all of the negative press on this blog with respect to PLG. The area is not dangerous. When crime does happen it’s typically afflicted upon poor blacks who don’t live in PLG by other blacks who don’t live in the area. The whites in PLG are for the most part safe. When was the last time that someone white was murdered in PLG or one of their apple cheek kids abducted? Stop with the paranoia. PLG is not Brownsville or East New York. We live in NYC. Brooklyn is vibrant, very urban and “colorful”. If young folks fellowshipping on a street corner unnerves you, then you shouldn’t live anywhere near Flatbush or Rogers. Oh yeah, don’t get on the buses and trains either because they’re there too….
