okay both of the bedstuy houses are totally overpriced. willougby between marcy and nostrand for almost 900k? and the places around stuy heights are just starting to fetch over a million thats silly. Jefferson ave isn’t too bad but value decreases significantly past stuyvesant ave and its off malcolm x not to mention it needs 250k (probably more like 500k) of work priced at 775? that’s a real stretch.
I dunno, the Jefferson Ave house might be a good deal, depending on what “a lot of work” really means. It’s just outside of the Stuy Hts Historic District, so as that area gets more and more desirable, people are naturally going to start looking in the surrounding blocks, so a fixer upper might be the best way to go, and enable someone to configure the house in the best way that works for them. The described detail sounds great, and I find this an interesting property.
Crouchback,
As anyone who’s read my posts might predict, I agree with you. However, debating the “dangerous” nature of LM (which I certainly haven’t observed over the past 30+ years) has lead to some pretty ugly exchanges here. If anyone is interested in looking for a house in Lefferts Manor or anywere in PLG, I’d suggest looking around the neighborhood, speaking to residents, posting a question on our local Lefferts Yahoo Group, speaking to the community affairs and anti-crime officers at the 71st Pct. and so on. There’s no point whatsoever in starting another “its dangerous” “no, its not” exchange here–I’m pretty sure most regular Brownstoner readers are tired of it. If Jerry, or anyone else, doesn’t like LM, that’s fine–its a fairly small neighborhood with only a handful of houses on the market at any given time. In have no need to change anyone’s mind.
Anyway, that’s my bid for sainthood nomination for today 🙂
I’ll be more than glad to answer specific questions about the nabe, but no accusations, name-calling, etc.
“perturbed”, the lincoln road house happens to be on a “very fine” tree-lined Lefferts Manor Historic Landmarked Block. and the homes on that block are of the highest architectural quality according to the landmarks preservation commission. all the blocks in the “manor” are patrolled by police on a regular basis; in fact, the association and many of the residents have partnered with the 71st precinct (on a first-name basis i might add) to address all complaints, including safety and quality of life issues. the results have been great.
so to say “that area is very dangerous” may be misleading to some folks. if you consider the area to be too dangerous “for you and your family”, there are other nabes that will perhaps better satisfy your desires–you should explore them. people who make statements without proper justification are just not welcomed to lefferts. thanks.
If you think the BedStuy houses are REALLY high….what real comps can you point to that make you claim that?
Jerry: What area are you referring to specifically as being dangerous. I know a lot of people who live on the Lefforts Manor blocks who would disagree with you. Are you speaking from experience?
Both Bed Stuy houses seem REALLY high given their locations. What’s with that?!?!
3rd and bond? ah I guess she is counting on gowanus eventually looking like little venice in london. Cute canal boats, flower boxes, and cobble stone pathways. A good extremely long term bet. 2050 perhaps?
Is it just me or does the BedSty house a little high given it needs so much work.
