Contacted a BHS broker – the seller pulled the listing for personal reasons (it was NOT sold).
The 6th Ave open house is not just cancelled, the listing is not on the BHS website at all. Seems like it was pulled off the market, would love to know why.
Wow – the 6th ave OH is already cancelled. Does that mean it sold already? I heard it really needed a lot of work. I can’t figure this market out.
Also, I already live on 6th ave and love it. Sun rises and sets right in my windows. And it is not any noisier than other PS blocks.
vans park double park all over 6th ave. on the weekdays, which is annoying. however, as someone who used to live on 6th ave. and now lives on a side street i can tell you that the east/west light is much more lovely than the north/south light on the sides streets. yards on 6th are a little smaller, but it’s a nice ave. all the same.
6th Avenue in North Slope is beautiful and it’s not noisy. Unless you count the occasional ringing of church bells as noisy. 6th between Berkeley and Union is one of the most picturesque blocks in all of Brooklyn.
Anon at 7:18, re: 6th Ave. a “really noisy street”, “cars drive recklessly” “double parking” — what on earth are you talking about? Your post sounds like you’ve never been on there. Of course 6th Ave. gets somewhat more traffic than the side streets, but 6th Ave is not commercial, and the lights are actually NOT timed for through traffic. I have not observed truck traffic on 6th, nor have I seen lots of double parking. In fact, as a cyclist, I will sometimes choose to ride 6th Ave precisely because of the relatively lighter traffic and absence of double parking! 6th Ave. in the north and central slope is a very beautiful street. Your wonderment that anyone would want to live there is completely idiotic.
By the earlier post’s logic Park Avenue apartments should sell at a discount. It’s a street with a lot of traffic and metro North trains running underneath.
10:07, I’m not really sure what you mean when you say get a better house for the money on a side street. It depends on the house. A huge house on Union St. may be a lot more money than a house on another side street. (But just FYI, having lived on both Union Street & 6th Ave., Union St. is WAY noisier). One thing I can tell you from looking at houses on the avenues vs. the side streets is that houses on the avenues tend to have smaller backyards so that’s something, I guess. Anyway, I think 11:07 has it exactly right so listen to him/her.
I don’t live on 6th Ave, but nearby, so my 2 cents… it’s noisier than side streets but not so much as 5th or 7th Aves. Not quite as heavily trafficked, and much less commercial, hence less foot traffic and accompanying late-night noise. I don’t think the houses are much less special than the adjoining blocks of side streets. (With very few exceptions like Garfield between 5th and 6th–and there you do pay for the greater elegance.) Especially in the north slope, there are some very gracious, if not ornate, brownstones on 6th Ave.
I’d rather live on a side street all things being equal, but if I found a house I liked on 6th Ave., that wouldn’t stop me.
